calculating % when some columns are 0

[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
