Dashboard and Sheets - Making 0 appear instead of error or formula

BESP10

Good evening

When we are setting up dashbaords and we have not yet enetered data , how do we make that data show a "0" instead of "# Divide By Zero" , it just looks messy....

 

Thank you

Wrap your formula with an IFERROR() formula.  For instance...

=IFERROR(1 / 0, 0).  Since 1/0 will give you an error, the formula will return a 0.

OK thanks so if my formula was 

=SUM([Series ID]43 / [Series ID]42

 

then it would be 

 

=IFERROR(SUM([Series ID]43 / [Series ID]42) ?

It stilll is not working,

Sorry still learning the syntax

Close. You just need to add what to display if there is an error.

 

=IFERROR([Series ID]43 / [Series ID]42, 0)

 

=IFERROR([original statement], [what to display if there is an error in the original statement])

Thank you 

 

I got the =IFERROR([Series ID]43 / [Series ID]42, 0)  to work! Awesome

 

But I tried with this one below and it is not returning a 0

 

 

=IFERROR([Performance Meter]85),0)

 

Newbie! Sorry but your help is greatly appreciated!

You have an extra closed parenthesis after the cell reference. Removing that should get you squared away.

 

=IFERROR([Performance Meter]85, 0)
