    Using the IFERROR function

    Hi guys,

    I have a spreadsheet where I'm trying to calculate the % change of Q1 number vs Q2 numbers. The current formula being used in the sheet is =(Q66-D66)/D66 which works for most except where the Q1/2 values are both zero and it's returning a #DIV/0! error. I'm trying to use the IFERROR function to fix this so it returns a 0 but every time I try it tells me I've entered too few arguments. The formula I'm trying is =
    IFERROR(Q69-D69)/D69,0)

    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??

    Thanks in advance!

    It's syntax - your parenthesis is wrong. Try this:

    =IFERROR((Q69-D69)/D69,0)
