| Some of the cells returned from a simple calculation are returning this "-1.#IND". Most of the other cells have the correct numbers. Anyone know specifically what this means? (Overflow, divide by zero, etc..)Thanks |

Either divide by zero, or divide by an empty cell (undefined value).I think that divide by zero is -1.#INF, if I remember right  rockmoose |

| Thank you.Do you have to prevent the error with logic or can you instruct the cube to ignore that cell... |

| use iif() and isempty functions in the mdx formula.Something to the effect of:iif(isempty([myMeasure]) or [myMeasure]=0, 0, [myOtherMeasure]/[myMeasure])Present 0 instead of -1.#INF when the "offending" measure is 0 or empty, but you can present the value that makes most sense.Perhaps null or ''.You will have to experiment, this is just from memory, so the mdx syntax might be wrong.rockmoose |
