Hi, the #VALUE error appeared when I deleted value of the cells.

EX: My formula is A3= A1/A2. The formula works fine, but after I clear the
value of A1 and A2, the #VALUE shows the A3. Would you please show me how to
stop the error.

Please help
Thank you so much

When the formula is working:

1. select cell A3
2. copy it
3. paste/special/value back onto A3
4. only then clear A1 & A2

Does this help??

Interesting! Usually, if A1 and A2 are empty, = A1/A2 will give #DIV/0!,
not #VALUE
I don't know why you've got #VALUE; perhaps you've got text (perhaps
spaces) in A2?

If you want to leave A3 blank until A1 and A2 both have numbers, try =
IF(COUNT(A1,A2)=2,A1/A2,"")

A3 =IF(A2=0," ",A1/A2)
