IF Function?

E

eXecutioner28

Hi,

I have two cells, and I divide them, but need to set another cell that
would: if the number for the divides cells is infinite that it would show 0.
How to put "infinite" into if function? or is there another, better one?

thanks

You can't store infinite in Excel; the max number is 9.99999999999999E+307
But maybe you mean to avoid division by zero:

=IF(B1=0,0,A1/B1)

I want to do this then, to divide like this 5/0 and to get 0 and not #DIJ/0.
Is this possible? please anwser asap

That is what I meant:

=IF(B1=0,0,A1/B1)

If B1 is zero, the formula will return zero, otherwise it will return A1/B1

ok, but what if in C1 value is 5 and in D1 is 0, then cell E1(C1/D1) is
returning #DIJ/0! and I would like it to return 0. Is that possible?

In E1:

=IF(D1=0,0,C1/D1)

not this #DIJ/0!. Can you explain the process?

thank you very much

=IF(OR(C9=0,D9=0),0,450/C9/D9)

Just check each divider and if any of them is zero, return zero

Hi. If using Excel 2007, maybe...

=IFERROR(450/C9/D9,0)

Just a side note...Your examples have been dividing two cells.
However, with 450/C9/D9 you are actually multiplying them:
450 / (C9*D9)

Just throwing this out...did you mean: 450 / (C9/D9) ?

thanks again
