EVEN
The EVEN function rounds a number up to the nearest even integer. It is useful for calculations requiring even-number increments.
Example explanation
Cells [B2:B5] use the EVEN function to round the corresponding number in column A to the next even integer.
Syntax 🔗
=EVEN(number)
number | The number you want to round up to the nearest even integer. |
About EVEN 🔗
Use the Excel EVEN function to round a numerical value up to the nearest even integer. This function is helpful when you need numbers that are divisible by two for your calculations, such as in data analysis, financial figures, or mathematical models. EVEN ensures that your numbers are easily divisible by two, making it useful for computations and visual representations where even multiples are important.
Examples 🔗
To round the number 27 to the nearest even integer, use the EVEN function: =EVEN(27). This formula returns 28, the nearest even number greater than 27.
For a decimal number like 18.9, if you want to round it up to the closest even integer, use the EVEN function: =EVEN(18.9). Excel returns 20, the next even number greater than 18.9.
Notes 🔗
The EVEN function rounds a number up to the nearest even integer. If you input an even integer, the function returns the same number. Use this function to simplify calculations by ensuring results are even multiples.
Questions 🔗
The EVEN function treats negative numbers similarly to positive numbers. It will round a negative number up to the nearest even integer. So, if you input a negative number like -9 to the EVEN function, it will return -8, the nearest even number greater than -9.
What happens if I input an even integer into the EVEN function?If you input an even integer into the EVEN function, it will simply return the same even integer. The function ensures that if the input number is already an even number, it remains unchanged after the rounding process.
Can the EVEN function be embedded within other Excel formulas or functions?Yes, absolutely! The EVEN function can be integrated into various Excel formulas or functions where rounded even numbers are required. You can use it within complex calculations or alongside other functions to streamline your data management and analysis tasks.
