BigQuery - Handling Division by Zero Error

Consider you have to do x/y returning null, if y=0, however, In BigQuery it will throw the error:

Error: division by zero

Solution:

In standard SQL you can use,

SAFE_DIVIDE(x, y)

It is equivalent to the division operator (/). Returns NULL if an error occurs, such as division by zero
