#DIV/0! error
 

I'm using the following formula =100%-(H6/J4) to get a percentage,
however result is #DIV/0! error

Can anybody help with this error?


Thanks for your help

#DIV/0! error
 

If J4 is zero or blank, you'll get this error. Check to make sure there is a
value in that cell.

Sorry, I forgot to add that if you still get the error even if there is
something in J4, hit the "F9" button to recalculate the spreadsheet. It could
be that your workbook isn't set up to automatically calculate when changes
are made. You can change this by going to Options, Calculation tab.

Assuming you always format the result cell as percentage - you may try this:
=IF(ISERR(1-H6/J4),"",1-(H6/J4))
In order to avoid the error.
