(with screenshots and step-by-step instructions). See solution in other versions of Access: Access 2007 Access 2003 Question: In Microsoft Access 2003/XP/2000/97, I'm trying to write a formula in a query as follows: [Price]/[Quantity] Most of the times this formula works, but in some cases the [Quantity] field is zero so when the formula divides division by zero error java zero by zero, the result comes up as #Error. Is there a way I can tell Access, if dividing by zero, the result is zero? Answer: You can use the iif function in your Access query to handle these cases. We'll demonstrate how to do this with the example below. In this example, we've used the iif function to return 0 if the [Quantity] is 0. Otherwise, it would return the value of [Price] divided by [Quantity]. This is achieved with the following formula: IIf([Quantity]=0,0,[Price]/[Quantity]) Now, your Access query should no longer return an error when a [Quantity] of 0 is encountered.

P: 74 ollyb303 division by zero error in sql Hi, I have created a report in my Access db which has two columns division by zero error crystal reports - I'll call them Number1 and Number2. I have added a textbox to calculate a percentage from these two numbers =([Number1]/[Number2]) with division by zero error vba 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 https://www.techonthenet.com/access/queries/divide_by_zero.php 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
