The Excel ISEVEN function returns TRUE when a numeric value is even, and FALSE for odd numbers. ISEVEN will return the #VALUE error when a value is not numeric.
Syntax:= ISEVEN (value)
The ISEVEN function syntax has the following arguments:
- Number (required argument) – This is the value we wish to test. If it is not an integer, the value is truncated.
Example: Let’s look at some Excel ISEVEN function examples and explore how to use the ISEVEN function as a worksheet function in Microsoft Excel:
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A2)
Result:
Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the following ISEVEN examples would return:
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A3)
Result: FALSE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A4)
Result: TRUE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A5)
Result: TRUE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A6)
Result: TRUE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A7)
Result: FALSE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A8)
Result: FALSE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A9)
Result: TRUE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A10)
Result: FALSE
Syntax: =ISEVEN(A11)
Result: FALSE
Note:
Use the ISEVEN function to check if a numeric value is an even number. ISEVEN will return TRUE when a numeric value is even and FALSE when a numeric value is odd. If value is not numeric, ISEVEN will return the #VALUE error.
For example, =ISEVEN(A1) will return TRUE if A1 contains the number 2 and FALSE if A1 contains the number 3.
Usually, value is supplied as a cell address.
ISEVEN is part of a group of functions called the IS functions that all return the logical values TRUE or FALSE.
