I get this #DIV/O! when I divide two cell that both total 0.

These cell will not always be used in the spreadsheet. Is there any way to
show the total of these cell to be 0 when not used?

=IF(A2=0,0,A1/A2)
or in Excel 2007
=IFERROR(A1/A2,0)

Maybe something like this...

If you have something like this: =A1/B1, and B1 is an empty cell then try it
like this:

=IF(B1="",0,A1/B1)

This is the formulas I trying to fix

=(I5-P5)/Q5
I5=0 P5=0 Q5=0

I used =IF(ISERROR(I5-P5),"-",I5-P5) and it worked fine. The problem is
when I try to divide the (I5-P5)
