Parameters
|
Dividend |
A number which is being divided. The number can be specified as an integer (e.g., 37), as a decimal value (e.g., 37.48), as a string, or as the value of a variable (e.g, UnitPrice). |
|
Divisor |
A number which divides. The number can be specified as an integer (e.g., 37), as a decimal value (e.g., 37.48), as a string, or as the value of a variable (e.g, UnitPrice). |
Return Type
Decimal number.
In the case of an error, the function displays an error message: “QUOTIENT (dividend, divisor): Error message”
The function can be used in combination with other functions.
