    Stop #DIV/0! From Appearing

    Please see attached example

    I realize that this is probably simple fix but for some reason it's giving me trouble. I don't have any issue with #DIV/0! showing up in the Data sheet, but I need to know how to go about having it not appear on the Scorecard sheet. Not only does it look bad but it hinders the Year to Date Average from automatically tallying up each month. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!

    using your posted workbook....
    Data sheet

    Copy that formula down through F31

    On the Scorecard sheet.
    Use this regular formula, copied across to the right

    I would suggest to use NA()

    =IFERROR(SUM(D8/E8)*1000,NA())

    This way your chart will look nicer. Also, use Conditional Formatting to hide errors

    Yes sir, that works great. Instead of "n/a" I just used "" and it not only made everything blank but it seemed to automatically fix the issue on the Scorecard sheet as well. Thank you again, this forum can be a lifesaver when Excel headaches arise.
