Hi all, could someone let me know how to stop the #DIV/0 error from showing in the gross margin cell if there are blank references in either one of 2 cells.

For example I have
Excel Formula:
 =(A1-B1)/A1
to show the gross margin percentage

but if either A1 or B1 doesn't have anything in the cell or is a 0 then how do I use IfError to check both cells or would I be better of using a different method to check for an error?

many thanks Paul.
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
You could use:

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR((A1-B1)/A1,0)

for example.
