Questions 🔗
The ISODD function only considers the integer part of the input number when determining its oddity. If the input number is not an integer (contains decimal components), the function will still evaluate the integer part and return TRUE if that part is odd, and FALSE if it is not.
Can the ISODD function be used with cell references in Excel?Yes, you can use cell references as input for the ISODD function in Excel. Simply refer to the cell containing the number you want to check for oddity. For example, if the number is in cell A1, the formula would be =ISODD(A1).
Is there an equivalent function in Excel to check if a number is even?Yes, in Excel, you can use the ISEVEN function to check if a number is even. It functions similarly to ISODD but returns TRUE for even numbers and FALSE for odd numbers.
