If both columns have "0" value output come as NaN
Column =([0]-[0])/[0]
output is "NaN"
in one row I have value for column 1 = 13
column 2 = 0
Column =([13]-[0])/[0]
Out put is infinity
Sum values come in new column come as "NaN" & in one row value of New Column is "Infinity". Rest rows are fine. Any advise Thanks
Try this:
Column =IF([col2]=0,blank(),([col1]-[col2])/[col2])
