Hide/Prevent #DIV/0 Error
Apr 6, 2008
My wife is trying to use an Excel Spreadsheet to help teaching fractions and decimals to children.
She wants a cell where the children enter the numerator and a cell where they enter the denominator and a cell where the result (to two decimal places) is shown. I have designed an appropriate sheet but would like to "fancy it up" a little.
If the denominator cell is empty, the result cell shows the error message "#DIV/0!".
I'd like this message to be hidden until the children have entered both a numerator and a denominator.
The numerator is in cell D2, denominator is in cell D6 and result is displayed in merged cells C8 - E8.
I've tried conditional formatting the cell with white text if the cell is zero and black if it is non-zero and also tried to specify white text if the cell value is equal to "#DIV/0!" but both do not do what I want.
If there was a way to specify white text for this cell if another cell was zero, that would do it too (ie. if cell D6=0 then conditionally format cells C8-E8 to be white text).
I've also tried a rather inelegant solution where the denominator cell has a "dummy value" (say 0.1) and then conditionally formatted this cell to make the text white (so that it doesn't show up). The results cell can then be conditionally formatted with two conditions: 1. If cell = 0 then white text and 2. if cell is non-zero black text. However, this means that as soon as any number is entered into the numerator, the results cell becomes visible.
Example. Initially cell D2 is blank, D6 has "dummy" value 0.1 and results cell (C8 - E8) has the value 0 in it (0 / 0.1 =0) conditionally formatted to be "invisible".
When a positive number is entered into cell D2 (the numerator) such as 2, the result (2 / 0.1 = 20) is non-zero and so 20.00 is displayed.
How can I hide the error message "#DIV/0!" until the denominator is no longer zero?

My created pivot table chart is a "sales funnel" that has 8 field list in the title section used to slice the date (i.e. per quarter, per sales person, per product, etc.). When a combination of selections results in no data, the pivot table dynamically removes this column or row. The GETPIVOTDATA function returns a #REF! because of the invalid reference. How can I lock the pivot table to always have all columns and rows or can I return a zero instead of the #REF!? When the #REF! occurs in a @sum range, the #REF! is returned instead of the sum of the numbers.

I've got the following code which opens/gets the excel files from a specified directory and imports them into an open workbook. I've added a GoTo Error before my loop which checks if there are any files in the directory and shows an error message if it's the case. Problem is since the loop goes on till there are no more files in the directory, it goes back to the error. How to change that ?

I have a simple spreadsheet which requires a date (mm/dd/yy) in Column A. Columns B-F use formulas to break this date down into the month, quarter, year, etc. Users frequently need to add new rows at the top of the sheet just below the column headers.
To be sure the formulas in Columns B-F are included when adding new rows, I put together a simple macro which copies the top ten rows, inserts them at the top of the sheet, and then clears existing data from the new rows (keeping formulas intact).
I put a button on the sheet to run this macro. However, sometimes users insert new rows without using the macro. This results in no data in Columns B-F for these new rows because the formulas weren’t copied.
How can I prevent this from happening? If I protect the sheet and prevent users from inserting new rows, the macro won’t run. Is there something I can add to the macro that will allow it to run properly while the sheet is protected? Below is the macro code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Rows("3:12").Select
Selection.Copy
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range("A3:A12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G3:K12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A12").Select
End Sub

I have a situation in which I want to SUM several costs in separate columns according to the date to which they correspond.
(see attached sheet with dummy example)
eg: any cost falling on April 3, sum them and give the total amount.
I can achieve this using iterations of the following formula:

The attached file contains hypothetical data on a basketball player's success from the free throw line. It lists the number of free throws attempted and the number made and then divides the number made by the number attempted to calculate the free throw percentage. However, I keep getting a # DIV/0! error in the games free throws weren't taken. How do I write the code so that when the error occurs, a message is displayed to the effect that no percentage can be reported because no free throws were attempted by checking the cell in column D? How do I use the IsError function to figure this out?

I have a form on a SheetA wherein all cells are referencing the data in cells on SheetB. When I delete or add a row on SheetB, the cells in that row on SheetA read REF#. I need the row in SheetA to be added when I add it in SheetB and vice versa for when I delete a row.

What is this error message that is popping up when I try to insert a blank row of cells?
"To prevent possible loss of data, Excel cannot shift nonblank cells off of the worksheet. Select another location in which to insert new cells, or delete data from the end of your worksheet.
If you do not have data in cells that can be shifted off the worksheet, you can reset which cells Excel considers nonblank. To do this, press CTRL + End to locate the last nonblank cell on the worksheet. Delete this cell and all cells between it and the last row and column of your data then save."
This excel document we have has LARGE amounts of data

i m working on an excel 2007 workbook with ms project functionality. in order to be able to use ms project from within excel i m using early binding. for those who dont know what early binding is: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/olBinding.htm
this works fine if the user has ms project installed on his/her pc.
if the user does not have ms project installed i remove the broken references. this works fine.
but my problem is that when i remove the reference to ms project, my vba project will not compile correctly. thus each time when a user opens the workbook the user gets a "compile error in hidden module" , since the functions of ms project are not available.
for example i get a compile error in the following source
Public Function getResID(ResName As String, ActiveProject As Project) As Integer
Dim res As Resource
For Each res In ActiveProject.Resources
If res.name = ResName Then
getResID = res.ID
Exit Function
End If
getResID = -1
Next
End Function
i just want to know what i can do to prevent the compile error? would the use of late binding remove the problem? actually i dont want to use late binding since my source code is already very complex and it would be a huge effort to change it.

what I want. It relies on an input box asking the user to enter a part code, which when found creates a duplicate copy. However, if the user enters a part that doesn't exist I get a run-time error. Can anybody point me in the right direction so when a user enters an incorrect part they get a message telling them it doesn't exist.
Private Sub SortTest_Click()
Dim s As String
Dim r As Excel. Range
Range("A2").Activate
s = InputBox("Enter the number you wish to find")
If StrPtr(s) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must enter an existing part number!"
Else
Set r = Cells.Find(What:=s, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
Range(Cells(r.Row, "A"), Cells(r.Row, "AH")).Copy
Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "A").Insert Shift:=xlDown
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Goto Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "H")
Selection.Offset(-1, -5).ClearContents
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select
End If

I'm looking for a function that will display the average of a row of cells, while at the same time not displaying any error messages. It's easy to average cells without blank values, but to combine that with no errors is difficult for me. I saw many ways to do the average, one of which is:
= SUM(A1:E1)/COUNTIF(A1:E1,">0")
That function doesn't work for a row of blank cells (i.e., hidden rows), though. The result is an error message.
I also read about a way to ignore an error in a computation:
=IF(ISERROR(F1),"",F1)
The problem is when I combine those functions I get a blank cell no matter which function I put first, and without regards to cell values or not. The reason I want this to be error-free is that I have to average the "average column" at the bottom of the table, too (i.e., F100).

I have a macro that asks the user what pages they would like to print on a particular sheet. In the example below, a button will be assigned to pages 1-5 on a sheet and thus the user has the option of printing from page 1 up to page 5. Any page number outside this range will result in an error message and the user will be asked to re-enter the end page number. This is the code I pulled from this forum and partially modified:

I want to establish a link from my worksheets. Using the conventional link method I was able to link the values from my first worksheet to the second worksheet. My problem is when I delete a particular row. The reference of the second worksheet will have an error #REF! since I deleted those cells. Is there any way that I can link my two worksheets without any error that even if I deleted a particular cell/row the reference is still intact?

Tried to call this post Hide #N/A but it wouldn't let me.
I have a sheet with links to other pages.
One of the results comes back as the dreaded #N/A.
The formula says ='Andrew Whi'!F31. I know how to do IF formulas but how do I say
When ='Andrew Whi'!F31 equals 0 show nothing.
I know the N/A will disappear when the other sheets are populated, but I won't work with this workbook myself and I've already got emails saying "there are errors" so blanks would be ideal.

I have a simple spreadsheet to track my mileage. It has a column calculating miles driven since the last fill-up. The "miles driven" formula is simply =B4-B3 (current odometer reading minus previous odometer reading.)
Until I input my current odometer reading, the following row's "miles driven" column displays the previous odometer reading as negative value. Example:
ROW 2: Current Odometer Reading = 53,000
ROW 3: Current Odometer Reading = 53,200; Miles Driven = 200
ROW 4: Current Odometer Reading = blank (awaiting input); Miles Driven displays as -53,200
ROW 5: Current Odometer Reading = blank (awaiting input); Miles Driven = blank
How do I hide that negative value & just display a blank cell?
I know how to keep other types of error values from displaying (zero values, #DIV0!, etc.)how to hide this single pesky negative.

I have been using this code for a long time in Excell that came with OfficeXP very sucessfully. I just upgraded to Office 2003 and this code will not work.
Sub HideCells()
'This converts weeks with no production to an error value
'in row 14 then hides the column that holds the error value
'This is to create a dynamic graph
On Error Resume Next
Rows(14).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Rows(14).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlNumbers).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Calculate
ActiveSheet.Next.Select

Im trying to use the following code to hide rows on my sheet however its just crashes my sheet:

Dim Ws As Worksheet
BeginRow = 1
ChkCol = 6
For Each Ws In Worksheets
EndRow = Ws.Range("AW" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For RowCnt = BeginRow To EndRow
Ws.Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).EntireRow.Hidden = Ws.Cells(RowCnt, ChkCol).Value = "Open"
Next RowCnt
Next Ws

Basically, from row 3 onwards I want to hide rows where AW does not contain 'Open'.

I have a macro in which i can enter the rows i want to hide.
If i want to hide "position 32" i have to enter the number 8 of the row. This works fine. But now if i want to hide the "position 32" from Sheet1 it also should hide the rows 4-8 from Sheet2 [Data with 32].
Or if i hide "position 34" in Sheet1 [row 10] it also should hide the rows 14-18 in Sheet2.

When user presses "ESC" key on an open userform, data he has changed in controls (simple textbox for example) gets resetted. Right? I'm seeing such behavior in Excel 2003. How about other versions?
I'd like to see some documentation about what exactly is going on, and how to prevent such unexpected feature (that forces data loss), but could not find.
I mean that i have no commandbutton with cancel=true. By default I want to keep the data user has entered/changed. Unfortunately this data reset finds place before any trappable event, or am i wrong?
I have not found any working way to capture keypresses on userform level. Userform has _KeyPress and other events, but those are not firing? If there is one, that would be helpful. Perhaps even on system level with some APIs? Altough that sounds way too complicated for a problem that should need only one little-known flag set. Perhaps there is such property somewhere?
