divide number with 0 (zero)

I have two controls with numbers. when I want divide them in some cases my result is #Div/0!.
for an example:
control1 control2
1000 0
formula is: control1/control2 result is #div/0!
How can I get result 0 for this case

You want 1000/0 = 0?

I would just use an IF statement to check to see if Control 2 = 0. If it is, the result will be 0, if not, divide it normally.

As James said you can't divide by 0. You can either default the whole result to 0 or divide by 1 when 0 is in control2.

  1. =[control1] / IIf([control2]=0,1,[control2])
