Help with excel circular reference?

Hey can someone let me know how to fix this? A model that was provided to me with circular reference works (ie. calculates a value).

However, when I change certain variables that make an error and reverse back, the circular reference no longer works.

For example: Initially: The formula is 10 / 20 = 0.5 I changed it to 10 / 0 = error Then I changed it back to 10 / 20 = #DIV/0!

Note that the 20 is the item with the circular reference.

I have already enabled circular reference and iterative calculations.

Thanks.
