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

Paul Newcome

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!

Paul Newcome

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

=IFERROR([Performance Meter]85, 0)

Uploading Excel sheet to Smartsheet
Why is it so convoluted now! I eventually figured out the changes and ended up with a sheet that Smartsheet completely reorganised the rows and the sheet is now useless to me as it is not in a logical order for me to easily restore to its original layout. This is not an "improvement"! It was far easier to upload data…
