The `ISEVEN` function in Excel is a simple logical function used to determine if a number is even. It returns `TRUE` if the number is even and `FALSE` if the number is odd. Here’s how you can use it:
Syntax
ISEVEN(number)
- number: The numeric value you want to test to see if it is even.
Steps to Use ISEVEN
- Open Excel and click on the cell where you want the result to appear.
- Enter the formula: Start with an equal sign `=`, followed by `ISEVEN`, and then the number or cell reference in parentheses.
- Example:
- If you want to check if the number 8 is even, type: `=ISEVEN(8)`
- If you want to check if a value in cell A1 is even, type: `=ISEVEN(A1)`
- Press Enter: The cell will display `TRUE` if the number is even and `FALSE` if it’s odd.
Additional Tips
- Use with other functions: You can combine `ISEVEN` with other functions like `IF` to create more complex logical conditions. For example: `=IF(ISEVEN(A1), “Even”, “Odd”)` will return “Even” if the number in A1 is even, and “Odd” otherwise.
- Data type: Make sure the value you are testing is a number. If it is not, `ISEVEN` will return an error.
- Works with negative numbers: `ISEVEN` also correctly evaluates negative numbers, so both 4 and -4 will return `TRUE`.
By following these steps, you can effectively use the `ISEVEN` function to check for even numbers in your Excel sheets.
