Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

So, in your example, A1 is zero, B1 is 100%, so you want C1 to be 100%, and not 0%?

I'd do it this way:

=IF(A1=0,B1,IF(B1=0,A1,A1*B1))

or this way:

=IF(OR(A1=0,B1=0),A1+B1,A1*B1)

(In this second formula, if either of the cells is zero, it summarizes them - since it's 0, it doesn't affect other number).

I am really sorry about that. when I posted it first an error message appeared, so i tried to re-post it and it went in twice. Apologies.
