div/0!

[Donna]

I have a column with long formulas such as below. Is there a way to avoid
the div/o error when dividing by zero?
=((H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3
)/(F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3))
Thanks

Hi,

=if(iserror(H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3)/(F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3)),"",(H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3)/(F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3)

No elegant way to reduce this...

=IF(COUNT(F3,K3,P3,U3,Z3,AE3,AJ3,AO3,AT3,AY3,BD3,BI3),(H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3)/(F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3),"")

Hi. The newer function IfError() might be the shortest...

=IFERROR((H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3)
/ (F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3),"x")

= = = = = = =
HTH :>)

=IF(F3+K3+P3+U3+Z3+AE3+AJ3+AO3+AT3+AY3+BD3+BI3=0,"",(H3+M3+R3+W3+AB3+AG3+AL3+AQ3+AV3+BA3+BF3+BK3
