You can test in an IIf() tsql divide by zero error encountered and only do the division if it's greater than zero. __________________ Paul Microsoft Access MVP To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

P: 74 ollyb303 division by zero access query Hi, I have created a report in my Access db which has two columns iserror access - I'll call them Number1 and Number2. I have added a textbox to calculate a percentage from these two numbers =([Number1]/[Number2]) with ms access #num error the format property set as percentage. My problem. Sometimes the number in Number2 is a zero, which means the result of the expression is invalid and gives me "#Num!" - I understand why this is http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=176338 happening, but I wondered if there was a way around it. What I would like to happen is that when it is trying to divide by zero, the #Num! is substituted for a blank space or a zero. This is purely cosmetic as I would like my report to look neater. Any help gratefully received.

Thanks so much, this works a treat. Jan 4 '08 #3 reply Expert Mod 15k+ P: 29,922 NeoPa No worries Olly. Just pleased it helped :) Jan 4 '08 #4 reply Expert 2.5K+ P: 3,532 missinglinq Or, for those who find iif() confusing, and it can be, especially if nested 12 times, as some are wont to do: = [Number1] / Nz([Number2], 1) Linq ;0)> Jan 5 '08 #5 reply Expert Mod 15k+ P: 29,922 NeoPa Good point Linq (in fact that's how I would tend do it myself). I wasn't sure without checking if Nz() was available as a formula within a control though. Jan 5 '08 #6 reply Expert 2.5K+ P: 3,532 missinglinq Actually, Ade, if you think about it, if one Access function would work in a Control Source, the other would, but in point of fact both of our codes were lacking! Mine took care of the problem if Number2 was Null, and yours took care of the problem if Number2 = 0, but neither took care of both possibilities! So I modified yours! =IIf([Number2]= 0 or IsNull([Number2]),[Number1],[Number1]/[Number2]) Linq ;0)> Jan 5 '08 #7 reply Expert Mod 15k+ P: 29,922

The first takes the total of each building type that my company owns in each city, and the second takes the total of ALL (not just company owned) buildings by type in the entire city. All I want to do is calculate a percentage, but I am having a lot of trouble. I think I am pretty close though, but for some reason, my Nz() function isn't working properly. I keep getting the "Division by zero error." Here's my percent formula: DCount( "[ID]","[Company_owned]") / DCount( "[ID]","[City_Totals]", "[Year_built]=2000" & Nz(Year_built, "null") ) ) Here is the layout of my cross tab queries. 1) ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Building type: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ City Atlanta 0 7 0 2 3 4 9 ║ ║ New York 0 0 2 5 7 8 2 ║ ║ San Francisco 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 ║ ╚═════════════════════
