Hiding the error caused by the formula in a cell / column

[Sasikiran]

Hi,

I have a formula in a particular cell which calculates the quality % based
on the numbers entered in another cells. I had included the formula in the
required cell and it is appearing as "#DIV/0!" as error as I have not entered
the data in the reference cells pertaining to the formula.

Is there any way to hide the error symbol in that cell without deleting the
formula?

Thanks in advance.

Hello
Yes, for instance if you place such formula in say B1:
=If(A1<>"",A1/A2,"")

It will remain empty("") if no value is found in A1.
Else it will calculate division.

one way
=if(iserror(yourformula),"",yourformula)

HI Papou,

Can you please explain with this.. Im not getting

A1 B1 C1

The formula in C1 is =(A1-B1)/A1

How do I change this?


Thanks

Thanks BJ... its working fine..

one way
=if(iserror(yourformula),"",yourformula)

One way, slightly modified:

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

or, equivalently:

=IF(A1=0,"",1-B1/A1)

I hope that you meant to test not A1 but A2, as that's where the divide
overflow comes from?
