You can test in an IIf() and only do the division if it's greater than zero. __________________ Paul Microsoft Access MVP To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Replace #error With 0 In Access
(#Num!) P: 74 ollyb303 Hi, I have created a report in my Access #num error in access linked table db which has two columns - I'll call them Number1 and Number2. I have added a textbox to calculate a
Ms Access Div 0
percentage from these two numbers =([Number1]/[Number2]) with 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 http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=176338 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 #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 n

The first takes the total of each building type that my company owns in each city, and the second takes the total of ALL (not just company owned) buildings by type in the entire city. All I want to do is calculate a percentage, but I am having a lot of trouble. I think I am pretty close though, but for some reason, my Nz() function isn't working properly. I keep getting the "Division by zero error." Here's my percent formula: DCount( "[ID]","[Company_owned]") / DCount( "[ID]","[City_Totals]", "[Year_built]=2000" & Nz(Year_built, "null") ) ) Here is the layout of my cross tab queries. 1) ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Building type: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ City Atlanta 0 7 0 2 3 4 9 ║ ║ New York 0 0 2 5 7 8 2 ║ ║ San Francisco 1 1 2 3 4 5
