#DIV/0! Error

Good morning everyone.

I've entered the following formula =IF(V5<4,"0",SUM(L5)/K5). Where K5 sometimes = zero the result is obviously a #DIV/0! error.

I think that the solution could be found by embedding "=IF(K5=0,"", (L5)/K5)" into the formula but I'm not sure how. Can anybody help me on this please, or suggest a simpler/more efficient solution. By the way, I've had to use the "sum(L5)/K5" in order to resolve an earlier error report.

Thanks

Try this:

=IF(V5<4,"0",IF(K5=0,"",SUM(L5)/K5))

You may not require the quotes around the zero.

Hope this helps.

Many, many thanks Pete - problem solved. I'm working on a complex, multi-round, scoring system for a target shooting club in the West Midlands so I'm sure this won't be the last of my questions

Well then you probably do not require the quotes around the zero - you want the formula to return a numeric result rather than a text value that looks like a number.

If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu above your first post and mark this thread as SOLVED.

Ok Pete, Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated.
