DIVIDE function

PRO

The DIVIDE function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a mathematical tool that gives you the result of dividing one number by another. It takes two numbers as input; the first number is the dividend (the number to be divided) and the second is the divisor (the number to divide by). This function will perform the calculation and return the quotient. It's a simple, straightforward way to perform division operations within your spreadsheet.

Documentation

Returns the division result of two numbers.

Syntax

DIVIDE(number1, number2)

Parameter	Description
`number1`	The dividend.
`number2`	The divisor.

Behavior

The DIVIDE function calculates the result of dividing one number (numerator) by another (denominator). The function requires two arguments, the numerator and the denominator. Here's how it handles different types of inputs:

Numbers: As expected, DIVIDE will divide the first number by the second number.
Empty Cells: Empty cells are treated as zero in the calculation, which could lead to a division by zero error if the empty cell is the denominator.
Text: If the DIVIDE function is used with text, it generally returns a value error.
Booleans: Boolean values are treated as numbers, with TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0. Thus, a TRUE in the denominator will result in a division by one, while FALSE will result in a division by zero error.
Errors: If either of the arguments is an error, the DIVIDE function will return an error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#DIV/0!	This error occurs when the second argument (the denominator) in the `DIVIDE` function is zero or empty, as division by zero is undefined.
#VALUE!	This error is displayed when either one or both of the arguments in the `DIVIDE` function are text that cannot be translated into numbers.

Best Practices

Always ensure that the denominator in your DIVIDE function is not zero or an empty cell, to avoid a #DIV/0! error.

Be aware that text inputs will return a #VALUE! error. Always ensure your inputs are numerical.

Use error handling functions like 'IFERROR' in conjunction with DIVIDE to return a specific value or message when there is an error.

When using cell references in your DIVIDE function, make sure the referenced cells contain numerical values.

Usage

A few examples using the DIVIDE function.

// Basic division
DIVIDE(10, 2) → 5

// Using cell references
DIVIDE(A2, B2) → returns A2 divided by B2

// Handling Boolean input
DIVIDE(100, TRUE) → 100  
DIVIDE(100, FALSE) → #DIV/0!
