Syntax of the formula

Where;
- Value– is the numeric value we want to check
Understanding the formula
The ISEVEN function helps us to check if a numeric value is an even number. This formula returns TRUE if the numeric value is even, and FALSE if it is odd.
In figure 1 above, we have proceeded as follows;
- Get the numeric values in the excel spreadsheet
- In cell B2, we specify our formula, i.e.
=ISEVEN (A2) - We then press Enter, to get the result.
- After we have the answer for cell B2, we copy the formula down to other cells to get the results.
Note that if a cell does not contain a numeric value, the ISEVEN function will return a #VALUE error.
