Hi John,
On Part 1, try the following:
=if((b14+c14+e14+f14)>0,(B14+C14)/(B14+C14+E14+F14),"")
If you would like some text (other than a blank) displayed it can go in
the quotes.
From what I can tell, your part 2 looks correct but I may be missing
something.
Hope that helps...
Phil

Subject: [mso] Formula to not give "#DIV/0!" results
Good afternoon Genius Excel Group (GEG),
Sorry for this simple question but again I'm seem to be stuck on
something that shouldn't be all that difficult.
Problem:
Part 1:
There are 4 columns of data that are entered manually for % residual
recipient alleles for Bone Marrow Transplant patients. That formula is
simple enough "=(B14+C14)/(B14+C14+E14+F14)" this gives me a decimal
fraction between 0 and 1. However, there are 16 alleles tested for from
the patient's bone marrow to see what alleles from the recipient are
still in the marrow and not all alleles are found. How can a formula be
written to NOT give the #DIV/0 results if there when none of those
alleles are found? It must have something to do with an IF statement
but I have tried several permutations with no success.
Part 2:
I need the above result to populate another cell on the work sheet that
gives me an average of individual marker % residual recipient. The
average part is easy and the formula works fine if I type in the
numbers. I tried to write an IF formula to complete this:
=IF(H14>0,H14,"")
but I'm not sure if this is how to write it. What I would like the cell
to "do" is look at the result from the above problem and IF the result
is >0, then put the result from that cell in and if the cell has
anything else in it just leave it blank. If I leave it blank I won't
have to change the formula for the average already written. If there is
a 0 in there it will throw off the average.
Sorry if this is confusing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
