Default HELP!!! #VALUE! Error

I wrote this formula because I was receiving a #DIV/0 error (my divisor was 0
sometimes and this was the only way I could get to 0:

=IF(AD6=0,"0",AE6/AD6*AD7)

problem is, when I'm adding each of the cells some which have a number, some
which returned a 0, I am now getting a #VALUE! error.

Please anyone! HELP!

Default HELP!!! #VALUE! Error

Your formula =IF(AD6=0,"0",AE6/AD6*AD7) put the zero in a text
Change it to =IF(AD6=0,0,AE6/AD6*AD7)
By the way, it might help to write this as =IF(AD6=0,0,AE6*AD7/AD6) to make
it more clear what is going on. Someone who is less familiar with order of
precedence might think you are computing
AE6/(AD6*AD7)

best wishes
