I need the cell to read 0

[Peter]

I have this formula =SUM(AM3/G3) I need the cell to read zero, right now it
gives me a #div!

 

[Sandy Mann]

Try:

=IF(G3=0,0,AM3/G3)

Note: no need for the SUM() function.

or:

=IF(G3=0,"",AM3/G3)

To return an empty looking cell instead of a zero.

If there is any chance that G3 may contain an empty string, (from a formula)
then use:

=IF(OR(G3=0,G3=""),"",AM3/G3)

try this =IF(ISERROR(SUM(AM3/G3)),0,SUM(AM3/G3))

That worked thanks, it helped alot. However what if I have a formula that
reads =(e34+h34)/j26. How do I get the ) in that formula?

I don't understand what you mean by:

reads =(e34+h34)/j26. How do I get the ) in that formula?

) ??

I have the formula
=(e34+h34)/j26
it gives me the #div0! error.
I want it to read 0

ISERROR will hide all errors and would also hide a #VALUE! error if G3 contained
a <space>

OP wants just the #DIV0! trapped.

Just the same as before:

=IF(J26=0,0,(E34+H34)/J26)

or:

=IF(OR(J26=0,J26=""),"",(E34+H34)/J26)

depending of what may be in J26. If only ever a BLANK cell or a number then
the first one. If J26 *may* contain an empty string, (for instance if J26
had a forrmula like: =IF(J16="","",10) which will return "" or 10) then use
the second one.
