Microsoft Excel 2003 Functions and Formulas - Determine if a Number is Odd or Even

Some Microsoft Excel 2003 spreadsheets need to calculate whether or not a value entered in a particular cell is an odd or even number. To determine this, use the =isodd and =iseven functions.

Before using these functions, you must have previously installed the Analysis ToolPak Add-In.

The syntax is simple:

=iseven(VALUE)

VALUE can be a number, cell, result of a formula, etc. Returns TRUE if VALUE is even, FALSE otherwise.

=isodd(VALUE)

VALUE can be a number, cell, result of a formula, etc. Returns TRUE if VALUE is odd, FALSE otherwise.

For example, given the following spreadsheet:

    A       B
1   5       =isodd(23)
2   22      =iseven(a2)
3   69      =isodd(a1+a3)
