Getting Error When Divide By Zero For Percent Increase
May 8, 2008
Does anyone know how to get over their dreadfull divide by zero error. I keep getting the error, i have changed this code so much. I need to get the percent increase from 2007-2008 ("Total") in this table grouping. I know im getting the error in some of the fields, because sometimes the total is 0 and sometimes the 2007 is 0. What do i do?
When I execute the following query, I get a Divide by zero error. I believe the Divide By zero error is occuring in the following statement. How do I avoid the error?
I am writing a report that deals with time in seconds. I am trying to figure out the average handle time for each call. To Get this number i use 5 fields. the formula is
Which translates to ((Incoming Handle Time) + (Work))/(Number of Incoming Calls)
When it does the calculations some times the cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c (number of incoming calls) is zero.
I dont know how to get around this ... i tried to set that value to <>0 in my query but it threw my other numbers off for number of calls which is a different value on the report. Any Help on this would be super appreciated. Thanks, Mitch
I am getting an error in a calculated field that could potentially divide by zero, even though I'm using an IIF. The column displays in the report as "#Error". My expression looks like this:
I have successfully used this approach with INT fields, but this time the Hours field is a NUMERIC(9,2). My workaround is to do this:
IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, "None", IIF(Fields!Qty.Value = 0, 42, Fields!Hours.Value) / Fields!Qty.Value) I guess the 42 is cast to an INT inside the second IIF and the calculation works. What's strange is that the division would even be carried out in the event of Qty = 0 from the first IIF, because the expression should just evaluate to "None" and that would be that. Has anybody run into this problem? Is my workaround the recommended approach? -Larry
Hi Is there a way to prevent this error? I'm getting it from query line: 10000 * (SELECT count(filial_cotacao) from negocios_cotacoes where filial_cotacao = cod_filial)) / (22 * 6 * (SELECT count(filial_cotacao) from negocios_cotacoes where filial_cotacao = cod_filial)),1) 'Atingimento Semestre' Thanks a lot
Some of my calculated members look like "######" in Excel and I believe it is because of divide by zero errors. I have tried right clicking on the table, selecting "Table Options" and "For error, values, show:" I have enter 0. This is not working. Does anybody know how to get rid of this.
I have one table with columns patientName , Nurse,ArrivalDate, DepartDate . It has all the patiet information for all the Nurses.
I am calculating Average Number of patients per day per nurse by using below query
SELECT Nurse, COUNT(DISTINCT patientName) AS NoOfPatients, COUNT(DISTINCT patientName) * 1.0/COUNT(DISTINCT ArrivalDate) AS [AvgNo.ofpatientsPerDay] FROM Table t GROUP BY NURSE
but if ArrivalDate is Null I am getting below error saying that Divide by zero error encountered.
I have the following line in a select statement which comes up with adivide by zero error.CAST(CASE Splinter_StatusWHEN 'SUR' THEN 0ELSE CASE WHEN Sacrifice>=1THEN 3*m.Premium/100-(m.Sacrifice * 3*m.Premium/100)/(m.Gross+m.Sacrifice)ELSE 0ENDEND AS Float)AS Bond2,The error happens on the section (m.Gross + m.Sacrifice) as this canequal zero and throws out the part of the calc that divides by it. Itis correct in some instances that it does so. The full SQL statementhas a large number of these expressions so I need a method I can applyto any line if possible.I know that it is mathmatically correct to error where this value iszero, but what I want to do is set the output of the entire expressionto zero if there is an error.Realistically an error such as this could happen at a few points inthe expression (or one of many others), so I need to find a way ofcatching any error in the expression and setting the return value to0. I thought of using a CASE statement, but wondered if there was abetter way of looking at this as the case statement would have tocheck each variation where it could throw an error.Any ideas ?ThanksRyan
Being one step removed from innumerate, I was wondering whether there was a more elegant way to avoid divide by zero error instead of trudging through a bunch of isnulls.
My intuition tells me that since multiplication looks like repeated addition, that maybe division is repeated subtraction? If that's true is there a way to finesse divide by zero errors by somehow reframing the statement as multiplication instead of division?
The sql statement that is eating my kishkas is
cast(1.0*( (ISNULL(a.DNT,0)+ISNULL(a.rex,0)+ISNULL(a.med,0))-(ISNULL(b.dnt,0)+ISNULL(b.rex,0)+ISNULL(b.med,0))/ ISNULL(a.DNT,0)+ISNULL(a.rex,0)+ISNULL(a.med,0)) as decimal(10,4)) TotalLossRatio
Is there a way to nucleate the error by restating the division? My assertion underlying this statement is that the a alias represents a premium paid, so between medical, pharmacy and dental, there MUST BE at least one premium paid, otherwise you wouldn't be here. the b alias is losses, so likewise, between medical, pharmacy and dental, there MUST BE at least one loss (actually, it just occurred to me that maybe there are no losses, but that would be inconceivable, but ill check again)) so that's when it struck me that maybe there's a different way to ask the question that obviates the need to do it by division.
I have SSRS 2012 and have a report with an expression shown below. I am getting an error of
"[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox133.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Attempted to divide by zero."
Textbox 133 has an expression as shown below and I cannot figure out why I get the error because I thought the IIF would bypass divide by zero.
SELECT Client,State, CASE WHEN Weight>=11 and Weight<=455 and Height>=110 and Height<=250 THEN isnull((cast(nullif(Weight,0)/power((NullIf(Weight,0)/100),2) as int)),0) else -1 end as BaseBMIScore FROM Test100
And I got following error:
Msg 8134, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Divide by zero error encountered.
When i exec an sp it runs a sum, sometimes it is possible that there is a 0 value, it then returns an error Divide by zero error encountered How can i work around this error
My sp code is
CREATE proc CP_avgloss_rings @mID varchar(10), @startdate datetime, @enddate datetime as select ((sum(vtp)-(sum(moneyout)))/100) / ((sum(playtime))/ 3600) as avgloss from dbo.rings where machineID = @mID and convert(varchar,njdate,121) between convert(varchar,@startdate,121) and convert(varchar,@enddate,121) GO
I have a work database where I implemented a table-valued function. One colleague of mine reported to me that this function gave a Divide by Zero error when executed with some specific values given to its arguments (there are a 15 arguments). Then I started debugging, and I introduced some exit points to the function before its end in order to detect the point where the error appeared, since I don't have access to the database server and I cannot use the debugging tools from remote, due to the network configuration of my office. I can only do attempts on the code to try to find a solution.
Since I didn't manage to get rid of this error, I decided to make a silly and desperate attempt: I put a RETURN statement immediately after the BEGIN of the function body, with the idea that the function should not raie any error if it exit immediately after its beginning, despite the fact that this results in an empty table in return.
The result of my attempt is that the Divide by Zero error is still THERE (!), even if my function looks like
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo][<myFuncName>](...parameters...) RETURNS TABLE (...table definition...) AS BEGIN RETURN END GO
How can I get the value (pr_profit / pr_sales ) * 100, (cur_profit / cur_sales) * 100 for %profit. When I am giving zero devide error is coming . How can I give if pr_profit = 0 then % profit should be zero.

I have the following query where I am selecting the random row. However I need to select 10% randon rows from the tables. How do I do this? select top 1 * from table ORDER BY NEWID()
I need rate to be a percent, it is returning 1 where XX=YY (e.g 100/100=1), but when the number (rate) is a fraction (90/100=.9)I am getting 0. Don't know what the problem is.
select XX as X, YY as Y, (YY/XX) as rate from blah where blah group by XX, YY order by XX
Hi all whether using TOP clause in SELECT statement or [SET ROWCOUNT n] before SELECT statement, I want to know how SqlServer Behave? whether Fetching data and then choosing n record of them or as soon as fetching n records , Sql Server Stops retrieving the rest of the data? Thanks in advance. Regards.
I have questions table and questions are categorized. I want to query say Top 10 questions but with some percentage based on category. For example, if I have 10 questions in category 1 and 50 questions in category 2 than when I select Top 10 with some percentage I want to come out more questions from category 2 than category 1.
I'd like to understant the Percent Log Used behavior... I monitored the Percent Log Used. For a specific database, it was 50 % used. I backup up the transaction log and the Percent Log Used was still 50 % used. For another database, the log was 60 % used. After the backup, it was 80 % used!!!! Would you help me to understant this situation? Thank you, Fabio
I am trying to take a string code seen below that gives me the income over a 12 month time frame but now I need to take this string and divide it by the acqcost. and it will not let me can you please take a look at this and see whats wrong.
(This string is what gives me the income) =sum(Fields!Total.Value)-Sum(IIF(Fields!eqprecdt.Value< #6/1/2007#,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07,Fields!bookvalue.Value* 0.07*-1 * datediff("d",#5/31/2008#,Fields!eqprecdt.Value)/365))
(This string is the acq cost) SUM(Fields!acqcost.Value)
Hi all As you are aware we have TOP n [Percent] keyword that is used in Select statements ,I have a question?? When this keyword is evaluated by Sql-Server, after retreiving all Query-Result or upon the number of results reach to the specified number,sql-server stops retrieving the rest of record.?
I a bit of newbie making reports and I cant figure out how to calculate the Percent of Total on a report. Assuming I have a field in my datatable called Color, I simply want to create a report that counts the occurences of each color and then perform a calculation as to what percent of the total that each of the colors make up. Basically a report that looks like this....
Color Count Percent Red 50 25% Blue 100 50%
Green 50 25% Total 200
I have a table that has a header, a grouping row based on Color, and a footer. So using the report expressions, my table looks like this
Color Count Percent =Fields!Color.Value =Count(Fields!Color.Value) WHAT EXPRESSION GOES HERE?!?!?!
I have a table of data, shown below that is composed of a scoreid, player id, and score. Using the following SQL Query: "Select Top 50 Percent(score), playerid, scoreid from TScores where playerid = 5 order by score" I can get the lowest 50% of player number 5's scores. How do I rewrite the query to give me each individual player's top 50 percent.
