if is error and #DIV/O!
Hello this is my original formula =(A1-B1)/A1. This is Ok except that
sometimes I get #DIV/0!. so I tried to fix the formula to this =IF(ISERROR(A1-B1)/A1,"",(A1-B1)/A1).. What I'm I missing? thanks in advance |

You are missing a set of parenthesis

Try this
=IF(A1<0,(A1-B1)/A1,"") Mike "Wanna Learn" wrote: Hello this is my original formula =(A1-B1)/A1. This is Ok except that sometimes I get #DIV/0!. so I tried to fix the formula to this =IF(ISERROR(A1-B1)/A1,"",(A1-B1)/A1).. What I'm I missing? thanks in advance |

Firstly the parameter which you have supplied to ISERROR is (A1-B1), but I
guess that you aren't getting an error on the subtraction. The error you are looking for is in the division, so the parameter for ISERROR should be ((A1-B1)/A1), so the formula then becomes: =IF(ISERROR((A1-B1)/A1),"",(A1-B1)/A1) Secondly, with the use of ISERROR you might hide other errors which you ought to investigate separately, so you would be better just trapping for the specific #DIV/0! error, so why not use: =IF(A1=0,"",(A1-B1)/A1) -- David Biddulph "Wanna Learn" wrote in message ...
