Hi Alex,   
   
While calculating division on zero, CalcEngine returns “#Div /0!” error which is the same result as in MS Excel.  Your requirement can be achieved by using IF condition like below code example   
   
   
CalcQuickBase calc = new CalcQuickBase();   
calc["a"] = "5";   
calc["b"] = "0";   
calc["c"] = "4";   
calc["d"] = "2";   
var result = calc.ParseAndCompute("if([b] = 0, 0 , [a]/[b])+ if([d] = 0, 0 , [c]/[d])");

If there is a complicated formula. It is necessary to add much function "if". Perhaps there is another way of “#Div /0!” error handling?

Hi Alex, 
 
You can achieve your  requirement by defining the custom formula  and adding in CalcEngine LibraryFunction like below code example 
 
 
CalcQuickBase calc = new CalcQuickBase(); 
calc.Engine.AddFunction("Div", new Syncfusion.Calculate.CalcEngine.LibraryFunction(ComputeDivision)); 
var result1= calc.ParseAndCompute("Div(5, 0)"); 
 
//Implementation of function 
public string ComputeDivision(string range) 
{      
    var args = range.Split(new char[]{CalcEngine.ParseArgumentSeparator}, StringSplitOptions.None); 
    if (args[1] == "0") 
        return "0"; 
    var parse = Int32.Parse(args[0])/Int32.Parse(args[1]); 
    return parse.ToString(); 
} 
 
We have also prepared the sample for your reference. Please find the sample link below

Thanks, I'll try this solution

with simple formula work, with formula like (a/b+c/d)/([k]/[l]+[j]) not work external div

Hi Alex,  
  
We have modified the sample based on your requirement. Please find the below code example for your reference, 
  
  
CalcQuickBase calc = new CalcQuickBase();  
calc.Engine.AddFunction("Div", new Syncfusion.Calculate.CalcEngine.LibraryFunction(ComputeDivision));  
var result1= calc.ParseAndCompute("DIV((DIV(5,0)+ DIV(9,5)),(DIV(4,0) + 6))"); // (a/b + c/d)/(k/l + j]) 
  
//Implementation of function  
public string ComputeDivision(string range)  
{       
    var args = range.Split(new char[]{CalcEngine.ParseArgumentSeparator}, StringSplitOptions.None);  
    string s1 = calc.Engine.GetValueFromArg(args[0]); 
    string s2 = calc.Engine.GetValueFromArg(args[1]); 
    if (s2 == "0")  
        return "0";  
    var parse = Int32.Parse(s1)/Int32.Parse(s2);  
    return parse.ToString();  
}  
  
We have also prepared a sample for your reference and the link for the same has been given below
