divide by zero
need to calculate error from zero...
typical working formula is (x43-x45)/x45 for percentage of error. these calculations provide values of error for calibrations over a range of values that take place in our facility. for an error however that occurs based on the zero value this formula understandably displays formula error div/0. eg.. calibration expected 4.00ma. measured 4.18ma results in an error of 0.045 (4.18-4.00)/4.00 = 0.045 calibration expected 0inH2O. measured 0.8inH2O results in error DIV/0 how best to handle this ??? -- instrumentation engineer |
divide by zero
Perhaps....
=if(X45=0,"Zero Divisor",(x43-x45)/x45) Replace Zero Divisor with any error message you wish.
