Hiding a #Num! occurrence in a report output
I have a report that calculates a series of percentages based on the report
calculated. Sometimes, however this results in a divided by zero calculation which then appears in the report as #Num! Is there an simple way of making the result box appear empty is there is a division by zero result or having the text "N/A" appear instead? Thanks

Stephen,
You can use the NZ function in your calculation, to prevent Null values from interfering with the calculation. Or... use an IIF statement in the ControlSource of your control to determine if an element of the calculation will cause the error, or not.

I'm sure what Al meant to use was IIf() not IFF() ;-)
