I am using this formula in formula tool to calculate percentage :

ToString([Value]/[Value]*100,1,0)+"%"

 

But I am experiencing this warning "Divide by 0 error on record #1 in field New Value". Can someone please help me to solve this.

 

Thanks,

Ankit

ToString([Value1]/[Value2]*100,1,0)+"%"

How about:

IF [value2] = 0 THEN "0%"
ELSE
ToString([Value1]/[Value2]*100,1,0)+"%"
ENDIF

If your divisor is zero you can either create an error before the formula with a message tool, filter those records out and do something special with them or include an if condition to set the value to null.
