=EVEN(-1)The function can also accept negative numbers as its argument and, will return -2 as the nearest even integer to -1.
=EVEN(2)The function will return the same even number if the argument is already an even number,and will return 2 as the nearest even integer to 2.
=EVEN(3)The function will round up to the next even number if the argument is an odd number, and will return 4 as the nearest even integer to 3.
