ISODD is not a standard function - requires ATP to be installed with
versions before XL2007.

So? Install ATP.

You can't directly use functions from the ATP in conditional formatting.

Hi all,

I'm using Excel 2003 (sorry, need to add that now), and the conditonal
format is on a range of cells so only the cells with odd numbers will
have a different color.

Sorry that I didn't clarify better.

Select your cells A1:A100 for example and then conditionally format with:
=MOD(A1,2)=1, then select your format color.

If the cell value you want to check is A1, then:

formula is =mod(A1,2) = 0

hope that helps

That formula produces TRUE if the cell value is even, not odd.

Tyro

If the cell value you want to check is A1, then:

formula is =mod(A1,2) = 0

hope that helps

If you do not wish to install the Analysis Toolpak, you may use
=MOD(A1,2)<>0 to determine if a cell is odd and =MOD(A1,2)=0 to determine if
a cell is even

Or even...   =MOD(A1,2)=1

Rick

Yes indeedy!

In the future, I shall attempt to exhaust all possibilities, just to make
sure that no stone is left unturned in an answer <g>

I also understand that division by 2 can produce a remainder of only 0 or 1.

Assuming of course that the number being divided is an integer.

Being an integer was a requirement of the original question (Is value odd?).

Rick

I don't know what the OP has in the cell.

All I was saying was... if the cell's content is not an integer, the
question "Is it odd?" would make no sense (by definition, only integers can
be odd or even).

You may also use =ISODD(A1) if you are using Excel 2007. You did not state
what version you are using.
