Fix formula error “possible divide by zero”

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** The error you're encountering, "possible divide by zero", is due to a division operation in your formula where the denominator could potentially be zero. This is undefined in mathematics and hence, NetSuite throws an error. To fix this, you can use the

NULLIF

function in your formula. This function takes two arguments and returns a null value if the two arguments are equal. So, if you use

NULLIF({denominator},0)

, it will return null if the denominator is zero, effectively avoiding the divide by zero error. Here's an example of how you can use it in your formula:

sum({field1}+{field2}+{field3})/NULLIF(sum(nvl({debitamount},0) - NVL({creditamount},0)),0)

In this formula, if the sum of

nvl({debitamount},0) - NVL({creditamount},0)

is zero,

NULLIF

will return null and the division operation will not be performed, thus avoiding the divide by zero error. Please note that you should replace

{field1}

,

{field2}

,

{field3}

,

{debitamount}

, and

{creditamount}

with your actual field identifiers.
