Hi Carole,
If you are wanting to divide cell A3 by cell A4
Try =SUM(A3/A4)

Hi

With dividend and divisor p.e. in A1 and A2
=A1/A2

Or, to avoid error when dividing with 0
=IF(A2=0,"",A1/A2)

Or, to prevent calculations too, when either dividend or divisor cell is
empty
=IF(OR(A1="",A2="",A2=0),"",A1/A2)

No need for the SUM bit. =A3/A4 will suffice
