#DIV/O! Error

[Chris]

I would like to be abe to have the #DIV/O! error show "N/A" when this
formula does not find any values to calculate. Due to another program
I am using along with excel, I cannot use ISERROR or ISERR. I know
that there are more effecient ways of writing the formula but I am
restricted to what is shown.

=(SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$L$23:$L$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A
$23:$A$361,A4,$M$23:$M$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A
$361,A4,$N$23:$N$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$O
$23:$O$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$P$23:$P
$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4))/5

I tried using
=IF(SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$L$23:$L$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF
($A$23:$A$361,A4,$M$23:$M$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A
$361,A4,$N$23:$N$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$O
$23:$O$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$P$23:$P
$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)/5=0,"N/A",(SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$L
$23:$L$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$M$23:$M
$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$N$23:$N$361)/
COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$O$23:$O$361)/COUNTIF($A
$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$P$23:$P$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A
$361,A4))/5)

But I still get the #DIV/0!

Your divisor is the same in all instances so all you need to do is test and
make sure there is a result >0 from your COUNTIF:

=IF(COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)=0,"N/A",SUMIF(......)/5)

Hi Chris,

I suspect that you have more than 1 divisor that = Zero.

Try using an out of the way range of your worksheet and insert all of your
divisor formulas something like the following. (Example uses Z1:Z5 but can
use any range).

Z1 = COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$M$23:$M$361)
Z2 = COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$N$23:$N$361)
Z3 = COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$O$23:$O$361)
Z4 = COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$P$23:$P$361)
Z5 = COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4))

Then in your formula you can test for any of the divisors equal to zero with
the countif function. If no divisors equal zero then your formula else "N/A".

Untested but I think it should then be something like this:-

=IF(COUNTIF($Z$1:$Z$5,0) = 0,
(SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$L$23:$L$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A
$23:$A$361,A4,$M$23:$M$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A
$361,A4,$N$23:$N$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$O
$23:$O$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)+SUMIF($A$23:$A$361,A4,$P$23:$P
$361)/COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4))/5, "N/A")

I'll be interested to see if it works.

Hi again Chris,

Disregard my answer. Obviously Biff was answering around the same time that
I was and when his answer arrived I realized that I had not studied the
formula sufficiently well enough. The part after the + sign is not part of
the divisor.

Your divisor is the same in all instances so all you need to do is test and
make sure there is a result >0 from your COUNTIF:

=IF(COUNTIF($A$23:$A$361,A4)=0,"N/A",SUMIF(......)/5)
