divide by zero error

I have a report where I calculate cost as a percent to sales on a monthly basis. Sometimes(like this month) I have cost but the revenue figures have not been submitted yet so I get a #error. What can I do so it says 0 or nothing?

=sum(
	iif(
		Fields!Entry_type.Value = "Transcost",
								             Fields!ID11.Value,
								             nothing))
/
sum(
	iif(
		Fields!Entry_type.Value = "Sales",
										 Fields!ID11.Value,
										 nothing))

I am not sure about Reporting.

From SQL Query you can manage this error.

For eg: for this calculation - marks / years
eg: CASE WHEN ISNULL(years, 0) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE ISNULL(marks, 0) / ISNULL(years, 0) END

try this:

= iif(sum(iif(Fields!Entry_type.Value = "Sales", Fields!ID11.Value, 0))=0, nothing,
sum(iif(Fields!Entry_type.Value = "Transcost", Fields!ID11.Value, 0)) / sum(iif(Fields!Entry_type.Value = "Sales", Fields!ID11.Value, 0))
)
