Dividing by zero
Hello,
I have this formula: I7=MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15), where I want the range to be from -0.15 to 0.15. However, when I19=0, I obviously get the message that I can't divide by zero. So, how would I change I7 so that when I19=0, I7 will equal -.15, BUT, when I19=0, AND K19=0, I7will equal 0. Thanks for you help, it is much appreciated, Regards, JV |

Try this formula instead of the one you posted...
=IF(I19=0,-0.15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15)) Rick "jvega" wrote in message ...

sorry..
I7=if(and(i19=0,k19=0),0,if(i19=0,-0,15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) Now correct. -- regards from Brazil Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Ok, I put your formula in, but when I19 and K19 are both 0, it equals -.15
still. How would I make it equal 0?

Marcelo,
I couldn't get it to work, I copied and pasted your formula, and when I pressed enter, it just stayed the same, as if it was just text, and yes I did include the "=" without I7.

I tested here and it works, take a look if the cell is formated as text.

Perhaps this does what you want...
=IF(I19=0,IF(K19=0,0,-0.15),MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15)) Rick "jvega" wrote in message ... Ok, I put your formula in, but when I19 and K19 are both 0, it equals -.15 still.

Hi,
Try: =IF(AND(I19=0,K19=0),0,IF(I19=0,0.15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) Regards - Dave. |

Marcelo,
It says "You've entered too many arguments for this function." I checked and it's not formatted as text, what do you think it could be?

Sorry, that should be:
=IF(AND(I19=0,K19=0),0,IF(I19=0,-0.15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) "Dave" wrote: Hi, Try: =IF(AND(I19=0,K19=0),0,IF(I19=0,0.15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) Regards - Dave. |

Marcelo had a typo in his formula.
=if(and(i19=0,k19=0),0,if(i19=0,-0,15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) should have been =if(and(i19=0,k19=0),0,if(i19=0,-0.15,MAX(MIN(((I19-K19)/I19),0.15),-0.15))) An alternative way of expressing Marcelo's formula is =IF(AND(I19=0,K19=0),0,IF(I19=0,-0.15,MEDIAN(-0.15,(I19-K19)/I19,0.15))) Another alternative is =IF(I19=0,IF(K19=0,0,-0.15),MEDIAN(-0.15,(I19-K19)/I19,0.15)) -- David Biddulph "jvega" wrote in message ...
