different values shown when #DIV/0! error is returned as result
 
When doing simple division, and when #DIV/0! Error occurs i need two
different options returned as results:

C=A/B - value for C should be €śnot enough data€ť when there is no entry in
cell B; cell B is blank

C=A/B - value for C should be €śno items€ť when entry in cell B = 0; 0 is
entered in cell B


or,

A B C
1 10 2 5
2 not enough data
3 5 0 no items
4 0 no items
5 0 0 no items
6 0 not enough data
..
..
..
etc

thanx

just partly true. you probably didn't scroll all the way down. your solution
returns "Not Enough Data" in both cases.

nevertheless this one is a GREAT hint !!!

actualy,
=IF(B1="", "Not Enough Data", IF(B1=0, "No Items", A1/B1))

does EXACTLY what i need.

Kevin, thanx a lot
