I am writing a report that deals with time in seconds. I am trying to figure out the average handle time for each call.
To Get this number i use 5 fields. the formula is

(((cs_acd_trk_t + cs_acd_ext_c)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c)) + ((cs_t_acd_wrk)/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))/(cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c))

Which translates to ((Incoming Handle Time) + (Work))/(Number of Incoming Calls)

When it does the calculations some times the cs_acd_trk_c + cs_acd_ext_c (number of incoming calls) is zero.

I dont know how to get around this ... i tried to set that value to <>0 in my query but it threw my other numbers off for number of calls which is a different value on the report.
Any Help on this would be super appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

what I typically do is test for the 0 in a case statement:

declare @a int
	,@b int
select	@a = 2
	,@b = null

select	case 
	when @a+@b is null = 0 then 0
	else 10 / (@a + @b)
	end as [noDevideByZeroError]


btw, you should use the t-sql forum or some other forum. Script Library is just for posting cool/helpfull code.
thanks

Are you using crystal report for this?

Just add a code like :

NumberVar AvgHandleTime:=0;
If (Number of Incoming Calls) = 0 then
AvgHandleTime:=0
Else
AvgHandleTime:=((Incoming Handle Time) + (Work))/(Number of Incoming Calls)
