Trying to arrive at production percentage. Using estimated hrs per piece, parts produced, and actual hrs used

This is the first part of a long formula. Looking at individual employee entries one entry 2.63 actual hours, 55 parts produced, .500 est hours per piece

if({jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60 /{jcardman.jc_parts_prod}= 0 then 0 else({jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60

Can enter ({jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60 and everything is fine, a number is returned

When trying to divide by {jcardman.jc_parts_prod} receive division by zero error,

added =0 then 0 else ({jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60 in hope of getting 0 or answer to formula.

Still get division by zero error.

Any suggestions

    you are only getting the error simply because {jcardman.jc_parts_prod} = 0so your formula should beif {jcardman.jc_parts_prod} = 0 then 0 else {jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60

    Worked liked a charm. Many THANKS

    Final formula looks like

    if {jcardman.jc_parts_prod} = 0 then 0 else ({jcardman.jc_hrs_prod}60)60/{jcardman.jc_parts_prod}/60/{operate.op_hpu}*100
