>I have a report that prints Value/Variance *100 %. I'm wondering, what do you think I should print in case of 0 for the Variance?

First, make sure that Value/Variance is meaningful. For financial reports it's more common to report variances as a % of the original budget value i.e. Variance/Value * 100. So, you wouldn't have to worry about the variance being 0.

If the budget value was 0, then report 0 as the % variance.
