Hi All:

I have the following formula that is working on all 1800 lines of my spreadsheet, except for 11 lines (266-276). On these lines I get a #DIV/0! error.

=IF($D272="Store Total","",(W272-SUMIF($B$19:$B$1999,$B272,W$19:W$1999)/COUNTIF($B$19:$B$1999,$B272))/STDEV.P(INDIRECT("w"&MATCH($B272,$B$19:$B$1999,0)&":"&"w"&MATCH($B272,$B$19:$B$1999,1)))*(1.5))

Here's what is in each row that is referenced in the formula:
D is the cashier's last name, or the 'Store Total". If "store total" is present, I don't want anything in the cell. this part of the formula is working.
B is the Store number. Store 20 happens to be the problem store.
W is the percentage of refunds to sales given by each cashier.

The goal of the formula is to if each cashier's refunds to sales ratio is within a reasonable deviation from the store's refunds to sales ratio.
Again, it's working for all stores before store 20, and all stores after store 20.

Any help is appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
I would imagine that you are receiving this error because the cashiers at store 20 have not given any refunds. Thus you are receiving a Divide by 0 (#Div/0!) error. You could include an =IFERROR formula to remove the error and display as a 0 instead.

they've all issued refunds. the ratio of refunds to sales ranges from 1.75% to 3.76%. And there are two stores that have no refunds, but I'm not getting an error on those stores.
