    Error message in formulas awaiting values.

    I have created a table which will be filled in over time. The formulas which are in place which use + or - I can set with =IF(?=0,"",?) to give a blank cell in those awaiting input. However, when the formula depends upon division I get an error message all the way down my table. Can anyone help give me blank cells please.

    just set the if(?=0 to the cells that contain the divisor or you could have if(or(a1="",g1=""),"",

    Test the devisor for 0..

    If you have
    =A1/B1

    B1 being blank or 0 is the cause of the error

    So try
    =IF(B1="","",A1/B1)

    Thanks very much to both of you - it's usually straight forward isn't it? I had been using 0 rather than "" . Happy now thanks again.
