I would like to ask a question about timelion, related to this topic :  
[What does timelion return in zero division (kibana 7.1.1)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/what-does-timelion-return-in-zero-division-kibana-7-1-1/196228)

The result of a division of 0 by 0 in JavaScript seems to be NaN.  
So I tried on a code below:

`.static(0).divide(0).if(eq, NaN, 0 ,1)`

However, this returned an error: `Timelion: Error: in cell #1: must be a number or a seriesList`

I want to show **0** in straight forward manner using simple condition like above, though I do not know how to handle result of `0 divided by 0`.

Try something like  
`.static(0).divide(.es().if(eq, 0 ,1))`

Thanks!  
It was an effective workaround to display 0 instead the result of `0 divided by 0`.
