have a report with a field whose value was the expression: Fields!TotalPrice.Value/Fields!TotalSlots.Value Although sometimes TotalSlots was blank and thus I was getting a divide by zero runtime error. So I changed the expression to this: =IIF(Fields!TotalSlots.Value > 0, Fields!TotalPrice.Value/Fields!TotalSlots.Value,"unknown") but I'm still getting a divide by zero error. How do I work around this zero divisor issue. sql reporting-services ssrs-2008 share|improve this question edited May 3 '12 at 15:13 Diego 17.8k63887 nan ssrs asked May 3 '12 at 13:45 jsmith 26721023 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 12 down vote accepted The VB IIF evaluates all arguments, so it will throw an error if any argument throws an error: Your formula can be written as: =IIF(Fields!TotalSlots.Value > 0, Fields!TotalPrice.Value / IIF(Fields!TotalSlots.Value > 0, Fields!TotalSlots.Value, 1 ), "unknown") Then even when TotalSlots is zero, the formula still won't encounter a division problem. share|improve this answer edited May 4 '12 at 14:12 answered May 3 '12 at 16:39 Jamie F 14.7k33052 1 It may not apply here, but what about cases where the divisor can be negative? –Homer Jul 10 '13 at 14:52 2 Replace both occurences of > 0 with <> 0 and you should be fine for negative divisors. –Jamie F Jul 10 '13 at 15:06 add a comment| up vote 17 down vote Jamie F's answer is correct. As a tip, you can add a function to your report code to make the division 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

Ssrs #error Iif
Reporting Services, Power View Question 0 Sign in to vote I am getting an error ssrs hide #error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10432714/divide-by-zero-null-workaround-in-ssrs-2008-report looks like this: = IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Fields!Hours.Value / Fields!Qty.Value) I have successfully used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this: IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value) I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ef1a0375-414e-41f4-b32f-3b782c5b4c85/error-using-iif-and-divide-by-zero?forum=sqlreportingservices the second IIF and the calculation works. What's strange is that the division would even be carried out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that. Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach? -Larry Friday, January 19, 2007 3:56 PM Reply | Quote Answers 9 Sign in to vote Hi Larry, I recommend to add a custom code function for the division (in Report -> Report Properties -> Code): Public Function Divide(ByVal first As Double, ByVal second As Double) As Double If second = 0 Then Return 0 Else Return first / second End If End Function Then, modify the expression accordingly: = IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", Code.Divide(Fields!Hours.Value, Fields!Qty.Value)) -- Robert Tuesday, January 23, 2007 2:52 AM Reply | Quote Owner All replies 0 Sign in to vote Lawrence Try IIf(Fields!Income
in this code: Function CalculateFraction(ByVal Numerator As Double, ByVal Denominator As Double) As Double If Denominator= 0 Then CalculateFraction = 0 divide by zero Else CalculateFraction = Numerator / Denominator End If Return CalculateFraction End Function Now insert the following expression into the desired textbox and format according: =Code.CalculateFraction(Fields!Numerator.Value, Fields!Denominator.Value) You could also use the following IIF expression: =IIF(Fields!Denominator.Value = 0, 0, Fields!Numerator.Value / IIF(Fields!Denominator.value = 0, 1, Fields!Denominator.Value)) But the best thing about using the Embedded Code it's easier to use and reusable.
Copyright 2009. Reporting Services Tips.you've ever tried to use an IIF statement expression to fix an error received by dividing by zero, you probably still received the divide by zero error message. 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 should fix any issues you have dividing by zero.
