#DIV/0! message
 

I am trying to create a formula for a percentage whereby the #DIV/0!
does not appear if the cell is left blank or is not calcuable.

I can work it out for a percentage change using the following :

=IF(C14=0,"not calculable",(C14-B14)/B14)


but I want it to work for example e4/d14 with values in d being 0 and e
being 1, then i get #DIV/0!

and also if the cells are left blank.

Any suggestions?

Try

=IF(B14=0,"",IF(C14=0,"not calculable",(C14-B14)/B14))
