Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>tables (more info?)

I need a !ZERO Divide error to show as 0.00 if the divisor is 0.00.

I worked out the formula in EXCEL, but I can't work it out in WORD. Please
help.

=IF(B23/B24=0,"0.00",B23/B24)

This gives me syntax error in word.

Hi,

Try coding your formula field as:
{=IF(B24=0,0,B23/B24) \# "0.00"}

I can't get it to work, I've heard about ctrl F9 to get the brackets -
doesn't work in table/formula. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Swtmelly,

This approach most certainly does work in tables!
