    Resolve errorin formula when nesting issue

    Sample:
    Row Column A Column B
    1 1125 1625 =SUM(B1-A1/A1 = .4444
    2 430 430 =SUM(B2-A2/A2 = .0000
    3 0 0 =SUM(B3-A3/A3 = #DIV/0'

    When copying down first line, the error message appears when blank or zero cells are accessed. What can i do to remedy this problem. Their will always be "0" cells.

    First time combining subtraction with division formulas.

    Re: Resolve errorin formula when nesting issue

    Thanks but still need help. Feel totally stupid

    For formula =SUM(B1-A1/A1 = .4444 - What am I doing wrong. Sorry, this is a learning process for me. =SUM(B1-A1)/A1,IFERROR(SUM(B1-A1/A1),0)

    Re: Resolve errorin formula when nesting issue

    =SUM(B1-A1/A1)

    should become

    =IFERROR(SUM(B1-A1/A1,0)


    This just says if the formula creates an error, do something else.


    PS- make the rain go away

    Re: Resolve errorin formula when nesting issue

    In the formula SUM(B1-A1/A1
    1. The SUM function is redundant
    2. A parenthesis is probably missing shouldn't it be (B1-A1)/A1 ? ( see precedence of operations)

    Finally =IFERROR((B1-A1)/A1,0) or replace the 0 with anything you like
