In ssrs+expression + #error one of our tablixes a textbox has the following expression: =Iif(Fields!SomeField.Value = 0, 0, Fields!SomeOtherField.Value / Fields!SomeField.Value) Which should be pretty self-explanatory. If "SomeField" is zero, set the text box value to zero, else set it to "SomeOtherValue / SomeValue". What has us stumped is that the report still throws a runtime exception "attempted to divide by zero" even though the above expression should prevent that from happening. We fiddled a bit with the expression just
Add Function To Ssrs Report
to make sure that the zero-check is working, and =Iif(Fields!SomeField.Value = 0, "Yes", "No") works beautifully. Cases where the data is in fact zero resulted in the textbox displaying "Yes" and vice versa. So the check works fine. My gut feel is that the Report rendering engine throws the exception at run-time, because it "looks" as if we are going to divide by zero, but in actual fact, we're not. Has anyone run into the same issue before? If so, what did you do to get it working? ssrs-2008 share|improve this question asked Mar 29 '11 at 11:32 tobias86 3,56511125 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 46 down vote accepted IIf will always evaluate both results before deciding which one to actually return. Try =IIf(Fields!SomeField.Value = 0, 0, Fields!SomeOtherField.Value / IIf(Fields!SomeField.Value = 0, 1, Fields!SomeField.Value)) This will use 1 as the divisor if SomeOtherField.Value = 0, which does not generate an error. The parent IIf will return the correct 0 for the overall expression. share|improve this answer answered Mar 29 '11 at 11:44 MartW 9,72022952 2 Awesome, that did the trick. Thanks! –tobias86 Mar 29 '11 at 11:49 3 That's so sneaky! –GONeale Jun 17 '13 at 23:09 love this! especially the logic of "This will use 1 as the divisor if SomeOtherField.Value = 0, which does not generate

When dividing by zero or nulls I get #Error displayed in my report. I tried to create an IIF statement and tested with static values. This verified my syntax was correct but I still see the error on my reports. =IIF(Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value)=0, 0, (Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value) - Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))/(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))) So I'm taking Current year dollars, subtracting Previous year dollars, and dividing that total by previous year dollars to get the percentage change. Is there a trick http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19189132/ssrs-expression-divide-by-zero-error to this that I'm not getting?! reporting-services ssrs-tablix ssrs-expression share|improve this question edited Dec 3 '15 at 5:16 pedram 3,28131840 asked Oct 4 '13 at 19:19 d90 3342415 You mentioned that there are nulls in your data? Try nesting each field call in a NULL replacement function. For example, I would the format IIF(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value = Nothing, 0, Fields!PY_Dollars.Value = Nothing) for each Fields!PY_Dollars.Value in the current formula. Better yet, handle the nulls in the source query instead. –Eric Hauenstein Oct 4 '13 at 19:59 The condition in your IIF statement is not checking for zero denominator (you are checking for zero in CY, not PY value). Instead, try: =IIF(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value)=0, 0, (Sum(Fields!CY_Dollars.Value) - Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))/(Sum(Fields!PY_Dollars.Value))) –rpyzh Feb 14 '14 at 3:23 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 31 down vote accepted You can add a function to your report code that handles the divide by zero condition, this makes it a bit easier to implement in multiple cells, e.g. Public Function Divider (ByVal Dividend As Double, ByVal Divisor As Double) If IsNothing(Divisor) Or Divisor = 0 Return 0 Else Return Dividend/Divisor End If End Function You can then call this in a cell like so: =Code.Divider(Fields!FieldA.Value, Fields!FieldB.Value) share|improve this answer answered Oct 7 '13 at 3:55 Nathan 6,32221734 can we

Very frustrating.An expression like this returns an error when Sum(Fields!Beta.value) = 0:=sum(Fields!Alpha.Value)/sum(Fields!beta.Value)So you, being the critical thinker that you are, try the following:=iif(sum(Fields!Beta.Value)=0,0,sum(Fields!Alpha.Value)/sum(Fields!Beta.Value))Alas, this will not work. Even though SSRS may evaluate your expression as true, it still will attempt to resolve the false part of your expression, which gives you the divide by zero error.To get around this infuriating issue Microsoft should have dealt with in the first place, try this:=iif(sum(Fields!Beta.Value)=0,0,sum(Fields!Alpha.Value)/iif(sum(Fields!Beta.Value)=0,1,sum(Fields!Beta.Value))This solution
