Using NULLIF to divide by zero
2
This is the error I'm receiving below:
Divide by zero error encountered.
Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.
Having looked around at solutions it looks like I need to use NULLIF or ISNULL, I'm just unsure as to how to include it within the line below.
select
min(round(OnCallTime*100/TotalTime,1)) as total
I'm using SQL Management Studio 2012

Use NULLIF in denominator like below:
select
min(round((OnCallTime*100/NULLIF(TotalTime,0)),1)) as total
So, whenever TotalTime is zero, it'll be replaced by NULL and you will not get the error of Division by Zero.

what coalesce(TotalTime,1) will rerurn ? does it return 0 ?? @saravanatn

if TotalTime=null means it will take it as 1. But TotalTime=0 means anything divide by zero is infinity right?

So in the event TotalTime=0 what do you want to display?. I suggest NULL since divide by zero is not defined?.
You can write the query as follows
select
min(round(
(OnCallTime*100)
/ (case when TotalTime =0 then null else TotalTime end)
,1
)
) as total
