I am trying to make a sales report showing customer name, billed
revenue, cost, profit and percentage of profit (or loss) on each of
the jobs my company handled for the year 2004. I then want to make a
pivot table, showing the average profit we made on a per-customer
basis. Sadly, in some cases our costs exceeded the revenue billed, and
we consequently lost money on them. Life is tough, but that is not my
current problem.
The problem is those jobs where we were unable to bill the customer
any money at all (due to a failure on our part), yet we still incurred
costs that have to be paid. Those lines have a zero in them, causing a
"#DIV/0!" to show up in my spreadsheet. This consequently screws up my
pivot table.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I guess I could go through
the lines one by one and change the zero to a single penny, but I
suspect there might be a better solution.
