continuing formula when cells are empty

[Cyrus]

I am creating worksheet for use where I want to carry on the forumla down the
worksheet, even though cells are empty.

My formula is =(B6-B5)/ABS(B5)

I get the error message "#DIV/0!"

I have tried the following and the cells still inputs error value. I want
the error value not to display. I want the cell to remain blank.

=IF(ISERROR(B7-B6)/ABS(B6),"",(B7-B6)/ABS(B6))
and
=IF((B8-B7)/ABS(B7)=0,"")

Please help. I'm looking for this function for several other worksheets as
well. Is there an option or conditional format I can use to eliminate the
error values from being displayed?

Thank you!

Cyrus

Cyrus,

You are missing some parenthesis from your first formula to incorporate
the ISERROR function.

=IF(ISERROR((B7-B6)/ABS(B6)),"",(B7-B6)/ABS(B6))

Cheers,
