Just missing a few parentheses, Don...this one should work for you:

=IF((ISERROR((G2*H2)/F2)),"",((G2*H2)/F2))

Subject: [mso] Excel Formula Divide by zero error, please help


I have this formula in an Excel Worksheet, hoping it would not show a divide
by zero error, but it does.  The cells are empty until I enter information
and I don't want the Divide by zero error running down all blank columns.
Hoping someone can explain what I must do.  I thought that was what ISERROR
was for, unless I have the format wrong.
Thanks
Don

=IF(ISERROR(G2*H2)/F2,"",(G2*H2)/F2)
