I'm guessing that you meant you're dividing G18 by H18 (not into). Since it
is impossible to divide any number by 0, that would explain why you're
getting an error if H18 = 0.

If you want to bypass this error, you need to figure out what you want to
have displayed instead of the error? Do you want 0? Or a blank? Something
else? Either way, an IF Statement might help. Something like:

=IF(ISERROR(G18/H18),0,G18/H18)

This will return 0 if G18/H18 results in an error.
