[Qgis-user] Is there a way to calculate a devision in Sextante Field Calculator for QGIS 1.8?

[Anita Graser]

Thanks, there are indeed features with a 0 value. But I think I tried
with selecting only those where there would be no division by zero and
then told field calculator to use this selection. Will give it another
try ...

Thanks,
Anita
