Default division by zero error


I have a spreadsheet that divides one cell by another. The problem is
the cells do not always contain data. Is there any way to remove the
#DIV/0! message that comes up? It does not look too professional.
Thanks,
Peter

Peter here is one way, instead of =A1/B1 you could use
=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),"",A1/B1)
