1.#DIV/0! appears when entering a formula that
performs explicit division by zero (0), using a
reference to a blank cell or to a cell that
contains zero as the divisor in a formula or
function that performs division or running a
macro that uses a function or a formula that
returns the #DIV/0! error. The solution is
to make sure that the divisor in the function or
formula is not zero (0) or blank or change the
cell reference in the formula to another cell
that does not contain a zero or a blank value.
