multiply function IF OR AND

Hello,

 

what should be the proper formula if you have to calculate (A-B)B, if there a options that A and B are zeros, or only B is zero.

 

column = if(and('A=0,B=0), 0, (IF('B=0), 0, A/'B])

 

Would it be correct?

 

thanks in advance

Why dont you keep the formula as is (A-B)/B and if it gives you an error then convert the error to zero.

Simpler formula i think.

 

IFERROR( ([Sales]-[Target] / [Target]), 0)

Why not this?

 

Function Divide

SWITCH(TRUE(),[a]=0,0,[b]=0,0,[a]/[b])

 

This will only divide A by B if both aren't equal to 0, did I understand you correctly?

hi Tom,

 

actually the A -is the sales, and B - is the target sales, so it can be that that there's no sales which means no target

How about:

 

=IF([Sales]<>0;DIVIDE([Sales]-[Target];[Target]))
