Can I turn off 0 divide error, for denominator = 0
I have a macro with many divisions, for many
of the divisions both the numerator and denominator are zero. It's the no data case, so it's 0/0 for that condition (or else it's a fraction). Office 2007, integer dimensioned values. If denominator = 0 then denominator = 1 will get round it since it's then 0/1 and still equates to 0. But doing this comparison a million or so times is clearly time consuming and inefficient. With the current database, and growing, it's approx 5M divide by 0 tests. Any suggestions? |

Any time you divide you have to either check the denominator or trap the
error, welcome to the world of programming... " wrote: I have a macro with many divisions, for many of the divisions both the numerator and denominator are zero.

But, if I tested this right, 5M checks take less than half a second.... So why bother?
