Hello,
I have a table of data, and one of the columns generates a percentage. Since it will sometimes give a DIV/0 error, the formula that generates the percentage is: =IF(SUM(I22:J22)=0,"",I22/SUM(I22:J22)) That way, if the divisor would be 0, it leaves the cell "empty." However, when I then sort by this column in descending order, all of the rows with "empty" percentages float to the top of the list. Below them, the ones with data sort correctly. I can change the formula to =IF(SUM(I22:J22)=0,0,I22/SUM(I22:J22)) but that creates confusion between the ones that have no percentage and the ones that legitimately have a percentage of zero. Is there a way that I can have a truly empty cell instead of one with "" in it? If so, would that help the sort? Is there another way I can sort it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks to all. Mike |
