getting #DIV/0! when calculating percentage

T

Ted

hi all, i'm not much of a guru with Excel. how do i prevent the #DIV/0! when
a column i'm dividing by is a 0.

i'm using Excel to calculate the Delta %. i'm using a simple formula
(K-L)/K. a lot of rows have values but obviously if for example K9 is 0 i'm
going to get an error. any ideas?

TIA
Ted

about something like that but i don't know the function in Excel.

you did however point me in the right direction. i simplified it to
=IF(K=0,"",(K-L)/K) and that did work. in access its iif not if...thats what
was throwing me off. thanks for your help.
