Hi all,

I picked up a good tip for suppresing 0's in blank cells and it worked a treat. (0.00;;)

Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of the #DIV/0! in a cell. I know what's causing it, but dont want it displayed on my spreadsheet with no input.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
You can use an If statement to see if the denominator is zero. If so, set the cell to an empty string otherwise display the result.

One way of removing the DIV/O result is to use the IF and ISERROR functions in a combination, NB this also works for all error results.

=IF(ISERROR(A1/A2),0,A1/A2)

where A1 and A2 are the respective cell references (substitute your own formula)
 
warburton1,

Your IF and ISERROR solution worked like a charm. All I changed was replacing the 0 with "" to display a blank cell rather than a zero. Now my blank template looks good!

Thanks
