Question

I have some formulas in my reports, and to prevent divsion by zero I do like this in the expression field:

=IIF(Fields!F1.Value <> 0, Fields!F2.Value/Fields!F1.Value, 0)

This normally works fine, but when both F1 and F2 are zero, I get ‘#Error’ in the report, and I get this warning: ‘The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox196’ contains an error: Attempted to divide by zero.’

Why is that?

Answer 1

There has to be a prettier way than this, but this should work:

=IIF(Fields!F1.Value <> 0, Fields!F2.Value /     IIF(Fields!F1.Value <> 0, Fields!F1.Value, 42), 0)
