Hi Guys
I am currently using office 2007 I have a large spreadsheet that uses the following formula: =IF(G5/51,F5/g5,g5/f5) This produces a "div/0" error from time to time when the values in G5 & F5 are 0 I have been trying to use iferror to resolve this to report 0 but keep getting an error message suggesting either a problem with the formula or not enough arguments etc.... Any suggestions as to the correct formula ? thanks Roy |

Your error will only ever occur if F5=0, so you could use the nested IF like
this: =IF(G5/51,F5/G5,IF(F5=0,"ERROR",G5/F5)) You can replace the "ERROR" to "" or whatever other value you want to display. This also assumes that F5 and G5 are populated with numbers. -- John C "Roy Gudgeon" wrote: Hi Guys I am currently using office 2007 I have a large spreadsheet that uses the following formula: =IF(G5/51,F5/g5,g5/f5) This produces a "div/0" error from time to time when the values in G5 & F5 are 0 I have been trying to use iferror to resolve this to report 0 but keep getting an error message suggesting either a problem with the formula or not enough arguments etc....

Hi Roy
Try =IF(F5*G5=0,"value 0",IF(G5/51,F5/G5,G5/F5)) Regards, Pedro J.

Pedro, your formula does not fly.
F5*G5=0 is NOT the same as AND(F5=0,G5=0) Check with F5=0 and G5=4 Lars-Åke On Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:12:29 +0200, Infinitogool wrote: Hi Roy Try =IF(F5*G5=0,"value 0",IF(G5/51,F5/G5,G5/F5)) Regards, Pedro J.

Actually, since the OP said he wanted a 0 instead of a DIV/0 error posted,
his formula works just fine. -- John C "Lars-Ã…ke Aspelin" wrote: Pedro, your formula does not fly.

Give us the values for the cells in columns F & G that are still generating a
DIV/0 error. -- John C "Roy Gudgeon" wrote: thanks for replies but am still having probs showing 0 rather than DIV/0 -- thanks Roy "Lars-Ã…ke Aspelin" wrote: On Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:57:01 -0700, Roy Gudgeon wrote: Hi Guys I am currently using office 2007 I have a large spreadsheet that uses the following formula: =IF(G5/51,F5/g5,g5/f5) This produces a "div/0" error from time to time when the values in G5 & F5 are 0 I have been trying to use iferror to resolve this to report 0 but keep getting an error message suggesting either a problem with the formula or not enough arguments etc....

That gave me the impression that you acually wanted to have 0 as the result when both F5 and G5 are 0. What result do you want in that case? Try this: =IF(AND(F5=0,G5=0), state here what you want, IF(G55,F5/G5,G5/F5)) if you want DIV/0 error, this will give one =IF(AND(F5=0,G5=0), 1/0, IF(G55, F5/G5, G5/F5)) Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

Thanks T Valko but it still returns the Div error.

=IF(G5/51,F5/G5,IFERROR(G5/F5,0))
it still returns the Div error. If both cells are empty or 0 the result is 0. If either cell is empty or 0 the result is 0. The only way that formula could return #DIV/0! is if G5 already has a #DIV/0! error. Try this: =IFERROR(IF(G5/51,F5/G5,G5/F5),0) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Roy Gudgeon" wrote in message ...
