#div/0! error
I have a formula on one spreadsheet that uses data from other spreadsheets in
one workbook. The formula is =jan!e10/e2, and repeats down to =jan!e88/e2. This equals a percentage. I am having trouble when jan!e10 is blank, it gives me the #div/0! error, but when I try to do a conditional format, it tells me that I cannot refer to cells on other spreadsheets. Is there something I can do so it either shows a 0 or leaves it blank? Or even makes the font white to match the background until a number is filled in?

#div/0! error
Change the formula to =IF(jan!e101,0,jan!e10/e2) you may need to adjust the
0 if you are working with smaller numbers. "artemis1027" wrote: I have a formula on one spreadsheet that uses data from other spreadsheets in one workbook.

#div/0! error
I think you're confused. If your formula is
=jan!E10/E2 then the only way you can get #DIV/0 returned is if E2 is 0 (or blank) or if jan!e10 contains a formula that returns #DIV/0. In the former case, it's best to use =IF(E2=0,"",jan!E10/E2) In the latter, use that type of formula in jan!E10 In article , artemis1027 wrote: I have a formula on one spreadsheet that uses data from other spreadsheets in one workbook.

Try this:
=IF(E2="","",jan!e10/e2) Regards, Paul "artemis1027" wrote in message ... I have a formula on one spreadsheet that uses data from other spreadsheets in one workbook.

What result do you get if E2 is blank or 0?
Maybe have a look at JE's response. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 17 May 2007 11:27:02 -0700, artemis1027 wrote: That worked perfectly, thank you.
