From: FSt1 on 27 May 2010 18:09 hi vary your formula a tad =IF(c27=0,0,average(j28/c27)) thought i haven't seen the average formula used quite that way. but if c27 is zero then the above formual will put a zero in the cell instead of #DIV/0 regards FSt1 "Malcolm" wrote: > I'm using a worksheet that has a cell (C27) that totals rooms and a cell > (J28) that totals rates and a cell (J29) that is the average daily rate > total, rate/total rooms.

You don't need the AVERAGE function. =IF(C27=0,0,J28/C27) =IF(iserror(J28/C27),0,J28/C27) in 2007; =IFERROR(J28.C27,0) My preference runs to the if error formulas Sig

Think you don't need to use "average", and this simple IF trap which checks the denominator cell should suffice: =IF(C27="","",J29/C27) -- Max Singapore --- "Malcolm" wrote: > I'm using a worksheet that has a cell (C27) that totals rooms and a cell > (J28) that totals rates and a cell (J29) that is the average daily rate > total, rate/total rooms.
