Hello all,
I am trying to run a query
(SUM(AMNT_OF_CHEESE)) / (SUM(AMNT_OF_BREAD)) AS CHEESEBREAD
but am getting
"ERROR: Error fetching from cursor. ORACLE error is ORA-01476: divisor is equal
to zero" in the log. Yes, some days there are no bread.
I'm new to SAS EG and tried resolving the issue by cases but have been failing for the past hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance 🙂
Well, first off that is an Oracle error, not a SAS one. But I would do:
case when sum(amnt_of_cheese) >0 and sum(amnt_of_bread) > 0 then sum(amnt_of_cheese) / sum(amnt_of_bread) else 0 end as cheesebread
