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.

the expression is invalid and gives me "#Num!" - I understand why this is 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 https://www.techonthenet.com/access/queries/divide_by_zero.php #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.

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 NeoPa Actually, Ade, if you think about it, if one Access function would work in a Control Source, the other would, Actually, Nz() is "special" in this respect. I can't remember the finer details of exactly where I've found this (may even be in Excel rather than Access) but there certainly is somewhere where Nz() is not available but other functions are. Sorry I can't be more specific at this time. but in point of fact both of our codes were lacking! Mine took

Off the top of my head it was simply like this: Code: Function DivideByZero(numerator as long, denominator as long) as single dim temp as single if denominator = 0 then temp=0 else temp=numerator/denominator end if DivideByZero=temp end Function Then call it in your query PercentDif: DivideByZero([Difference],[SumOfNet Amount]) Or something.... hth, Rich Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter Imagine a funny saying here.
