AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, you can divide
{fields1}
by
{fields2}
in NetSuite. This can be done in a saved search or a formula field. For example, if you have two fields,
field1
and
field2
, and you want to find the percentage of
field1
to
field2
, you can use the following formula:
sum({field1})/nullif(sum({field2}),0)
. This formula will calculate the sum of
field1
and divide it by the sum of
field2
. The
nullif
function is used to avoid a divide by zero error. If the sum of
field2
is zero, the function will return null instead of causing an error. Here is an example of how you can use this formula in a saved search:
Copy code
code
sum({field1}+{field2}+{field3})/nullif(sum(nvl({debitamount},0) - NVL({creditamount},0)),0)
In this example, the formula calculates the sum of
field1
,
field2
, and
field3
and divides it by the difference between the
debitamount
and
creditamount
. If the difference is zero, the
nullif
function will return null to avoid a divide by zero error. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
