Your advice gave me an idea to replicate the new formula provided in 2007 in older version of Excel.
Copy the following code into one of the worksheet modules to get the same capabilities as the function provided in 2007
:
Function IFERROR(Formula1a, Alternate1a)
' Formula1a is the formula to test for errors
' Alternate1a is the variable returned if an error is
' detected
' iferror Macro
'
temp1a = Formula1a
If IsError(temp1a) Then
iferror = Alternate1a
Else
iferror = Formula1a
End If
'
End Function

Re: Get rid of #DIV/0! without repeating denominator?

I you are using Excel 2007 it is pretty easy
=IFERROR(your_formula(...),""
If the formula does not return #DIV/0! what is the typical range of result
you expect? Would a result of 0 be OK instead of blank

Get rid of #DIV/0! without repeating denominator?
I have some very long denominator formulas and these formulas are repeate
many times. Is there an alternate method to avoid the #DIV/O! error WITHOU
repeating the denominator
=IF((denominator formula)=0,"",(numerator formula/denominator formula)
One of my actual formulas broken down is..
=I
DENOMINATOR..
(SUMPRODUCT(('Call Activity'!$E:$E=$D16)*('Call Activity'!$C:$C="CHE
LIME")*(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Call Activity'!$Q:$Q,{0,1},0)
=0,""
NUMERATOR..
(SUMPRODUCT(('Call Activity'!$E:$E=$D16)*('Call Activity'!$C:$C="CHE
LIME")*('Call Activity'!$Q:$Q=1)
DENOMINATOR..
(SUMPRODUCT(('Call Activity'!$E:$E=$D16)*('Call Activity'!$C:$C="CHE
LIME")*(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Call Activity'!$Q:$Q,{0,1},0))))))
Thanks,

That depends on the revision of Excel that you want to design for. Exce
2007 has an IFERROR function. Otherwise, I would compute the denominator i
a helper cell, which can be hidden

Is the cause of the error #DIV/0 always caused by the same cell of column?

As a suggestion, you could preceed your formula with something lik
=IF(D16=0,"",your formula) or =IF(SUM(C:C)=0,"",your formula

Hi,If you want to conceal the error value, you may make use of conditional
Hi
If you want to conceal the error value, you may make use of conditiona
formatting. In Format > Conditional formatting > Formula Is, type th
following formul
=iserror($A4). This assumes that the first cell is $A
Now click on Format and colour the font to white. Click on OK twice. No
copy the cell and paste special conditional formatting in the cells belo
Please note that this technique will only colour the font to white I.e. th
value in the cell will still be an error

The IFERROR works for me, but this is a very clever approach Ashish.

Instead of spending a lot of time trying to fix a problem - format it away
I love it
Thanks

Hi T,Its just a simple average formula.
Hi T
Its just a simple average formula. I wanted to perform the same work as th
IF(denominator = 0,""), but I didnt want to have to write out the whol
denominator formula. This is exactly what I was looking for. Zero or Blan
works great.
Thanks!!!
