Selecting Odd Numbers in Excel

Using the ISODD Function

To select odd numbers in Excel, utilize the ISODD function, an Excel Information function that identifies odd numbers. Apply the formula ISODD(cell_reference) to determine if a number is odd. The function returns TRUE for odd numbers and FALSE for even numbers.

Filtering with ISEVEN Function

Contrarily, you can use the ISEVEN function with the formula ISEVEN(A1) to identify even numbers. To isolate odd numbers, filter the FALSE results returned by the ISEVEN function, as it returns FALSE for odd numbers.

Employing the MOD Function

The MOD function, through the formula IMOD(A1,2), can also ascertain the nature of a number. It will return a non-zero value for odd numbers, which can be used to filter or select them.

Advanced Sorting with Kutools

For a more powerful tool, the Advanced Sort utility in Kutools for Excel can sort or hide data based on odd or even status. This feature is particularly useful for managing large datasets and requires the Kutools add-in.

Common Use Cases

• 
  Filtering a dataset to analyze only the entries with odd-numbered IDs
• 
  Highlighting odd-numbered rows for visual segmentation of data
• 
  Calculating statistics, such as the average, of only odd-numbered data points
• 
  Identifying and extracting odd-numbered dates for an event scheduling task
• 
  Applying conditional formatting rules to odd-numbered quiz scores to determine pass/fail status
