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.

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 percentage ms access div 0 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 me http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=176338 "#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 neither took c
a #ERROR error if you are in a query. To avoid a divide by zero error, you can use the IIF function to set the results field https://www.tutcity.com/access/avoiding-divide-by-zero-errors-in-access.13732.html to a zero-length string ("") if the divisor in a calculation is zero. You can then search the field for any values that contain a zero-length string and flag the results. The following steps demonstrate this technique by creating a table and a bound form, inserting three text boxes, and entering an expression. Sponsored Links: Read full post...

Debugging and bypassing errors while running a query I encountered several overflow, divide-by-zero errors while running a query. It is hard to debug this query.
