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.

Hi Roy
Try

=IF(F5*G5=0,"value 0",IF(G5/51,F5/G5,G5/F5))

Try this:

=IF(G55,F5/G5,IF(F5=0,0,G5/F5))

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

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

Actually, since the OP said he wanted a 0 instead of a DIV/0 error posted,
his formula works just fine.

Give us the values for the cells in columns F & G that are still generating a
DIV/0 error.

But you wrote "I have been trying to .... resolve this to report 0".

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

I am sorry, I see that now.

Try this:

=IF(G5/51,F5/G5,IFERROR(G5/F5,0))

Thanks T Valko but it still returns the Div error.

Lars, John C, I want to report 0 when both g5 & f 5 are zero.
thanks for continued help

=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)
