Firstly you don't need the + before F175/H155
Secondly you don't need to test for F175 being zero, because if F175 is zero
and you divide it by anything non-zero you'll get zero anyway.

What you need to test for to avoid a #DIV/0! error is L155 being zero.
=IF(F155=0,"",F175/L155)

getting the divide by zero error with this formula

=IF(F175=0,0,+F175/L155)

F175=sum of cells equaling 4
L155=sum of cells equaling 0

any help?
