up vote 11 down vote favorite 3 I 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 ssrs divide by zero error encountered share|improve this question edited May 3 '12 at 15:13 Diego 17.8k63887 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

Sql Server Divide By Zero Error Encountered
My Forums Answered by: #Error using IIF and divide ssrs add function to report by zero SQL Server > SQL Server Reporting Services, Power View Question 0 Sign ssrs iserror in to vote I am getting an error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10432714/divide-by-zero-null-workaround-in-ssrs-2008-report The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression 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", https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ef1a0375-414e-41f4-b32f-3b782c5b4c85/error-using-iif-and-divide-by-zero?forum=sqlreportingservices IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value) I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside 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
you've ever tried to use an IIF statement expression to fix an error received by dividing by zero, you https://sqldusty.com/2011/08/01/ssrs-expression-iif-statement-divide-by-zero-error/ probably still received the divide by zero error message. Very frustrating. An http://salvoz.com/blog/2011/11/25/ssrs-checking-for-divide-by-zero-using-custom-code/ 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 divide by 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.

November 25, 2011 by jsalvo I encountered a divide-by-zero error while working on an SSRS report and thought the issue could easily be resolved using IIF with code similar to the following: =IIF(Fields!Denominator.Value = 0, 0, Fields!Numerator.Value/Fields!Denominator.Value) I soon realized that this does not resolve the issue. It appears that all parameters in the IIF function are evaluated regardless if the first parameter evaluates to true or false. Therefore, the divide-by-zero was still occurring. After doing some research, I decided that the best option to avoid the divide-by-zero error is to implement custom code. Note: The following screen shots are from Report Builder 3.0 The first step is to open the Report Properties window. You can access the report properties by clicking anywhere outside of the report body. If you still cannot see the Report Properties window, make sure you have the ‘Properties’ option checked in the ‘View’ tab. The Report Properties window is displayed below. In the Code text box, click the ellipse […]. You may need to click on the Code text box first to see the ellipse button. Next, select ‘Code’ in the left hand menu if it is not already selected. Paste the code (displayed below screen shot) in the Custom code field. Function Divide(Numerator as Double, Denominator as Double) If Denominator = 0 Then Return 0 Else Return Numerator/Denominator End If End Function Now that you’ve created the custom code, you can begin to use the code in your report. The following is an example of how you can use the Divide function in a text box expression: =Code.Divide(Fields!CurrentYearSales.Value-Fields!PriorYearSales.Value,Fields!PriorYearSales.Value)*100 Share this:More This entry was posted in Database and BI, Technology and tagged SSRS by jsalvo.
