ISEVEN
Synopsis
Use
ISEVEN (an Analysis ToolPak
function) to look at the specified reference and return a value of
TRUE if the number is even, or a value of
FALSE if the number is odd. If the value is not
numeric, the function returns a #VALUE! error
value.
To Calculate
=ISEVEN(Number)Example
Figure 20-3 illustrates how to use ISEVEN to make
sure the value contained in a cell is an even number. You will notice
in this example that ISEVEN and ISODD return
#VALUE! errors for the cells that do not contain
numeric values. Both of those functions expect a numeric value to be
passed to them, otherwise an error is returned. The example also
shows how to use ISLOGICAL, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISTEXT, and ISREF to
check cells for the corresponding values.
