I am currently using a formula to calculate a variable, which looks like:
=(Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value
It works well, except for the cases where both numerator and denominator equal zero.
I've done some research and I've tried to solve it by using the formula below, which doesn't work.
=IIF(Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeFacture.Value, Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value /
IIF(Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeJour.Value, (Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value))
Please note that if the result of the division is an error, I'd like to show Fields!SoldeFacture.Value
.
Here's an example of the current output:
This should work:
If Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0 (ERROR) then show Fields!SoldeFacture.Value as requested, else go ahead an do your calculation.
=IIf(Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeFacture.Value, Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value)
Ok, if I understand you correctly, I think you need to Fields!SoldeFacture.Value
when a division error would happen.
The division error is happening only when the denominator is 0, 0 / 5 = 0 but 5 / 0 = error!
So, with your existing formula as you say, you're nearly there:
=(Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value
All we need to do is add the Immediate IF condition around it to check if the denominator is 0 or not:
=IIF(Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeFacture.Value, (Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value)
By way of explanation, the following:
=IIF(Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeFacture.Value, Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value / IIF(Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0, Fields!SoldeJour.Value, (Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value))
is basically saying if Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value = 0
then use the value in Fields!SoldeFacture.Value
and divide by Fields!SoldeJour.Value
if Fields!MontantInitial.Value = 0
or do the initial calc ((Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/Fields!MontantInitial.Value)*Fields!SoldeFacture.Value))
with 0's in the table you will always end up with a divide by zero here.
Hope this helps.

I finally found the answer to my problem:
=IIF((Fields!MontantInitial.Value <= 0 OR IsNothing(Fields!MontantInitial.Value)), Fields!SoldeJour.Value,
(Fields!MontantInitialRegime.Value/IIF(Fields!MontantInitial.Value <= 0 OR IsNothing(Fields!MontantInitial.Value),
1, Fields!MontantInitial.Value))*Fields!SoldeJour.Value)
I put another IIF as suggested and replaced the variable which would correspond to 1 for 1 itself, as suggested in the answer below and it works well!
