I have a report that has to do some calculations in some textboxes. I'm stuck because of divide by zero errors. I don't have #error to be displayed. I'd rather have NA. Here is the formula I have right now. -

((Fields!CurrXdayDollars.Value/Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value) - (Fields!PrevXdayDollars.Value/Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value))*10000

Some of the boxes display #error because either CurrOutsDollars or PrevOutsDollars are zero. If I change the formula to -

=IIf(Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value = 0, "NA",
IIf(Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value = 0, "NA",
((Fields!CurrXdayDollars.Value/Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value) - (Fields!PrevXdayDollars.Value/Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value))*10000))

I still get the #error. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks

Looks right to me but try some of these...

Change your expression above from "NA" to some very obvious numeric value like 9999999. Did the #error's change to 9999999?

Change SQL to do Where CurrOutsDollars <> 0 AND PrevOutsDollars <> 0 and see if you still get the #error. Might help point you in the right direction.

Sorry I'm not more help

=IIf(Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value = 0 Or Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value = 0, 0,
IIf(Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value = 0 Or Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value = 0,0,((Fields!CurrXdayDollars.Value/Fields!CurrOutsDollars.Value) - (Fields!PrevXdayDollars.Value/Fields!PrevOutsDollars.Value)))*10000)
