IIF(PRICE1=0,PRICE1*100,(PRICE1-COST1)/PRICE1)____Not sure if I understood the question but if you want the answer to be -100% when price1 is zero would the formula not be more along the lines of____IIF(Price1=0,-1,(Price1-Cost1)/Price1)____If this is formatted on the display as a percentage then the display should be -100% when price1=0
