Macro to dertime Odd/Even number

[Rocky0201]

Greatings folks...

In column A, starting in row 2 through the end of the column, I have either a null cell or a whole number. I need to determine if this whole number is odd or even. Can anyone help?

Thanks so very much...

Does this help?

MsgBox IIf(Range("A2").Value Mod 2 = 0, "Even", "odd")

use the MOD function which gives remainder on division

if your number is in A1, then

even =MOD(A1,2)= 0
odd =MOD(A1,2) = 1

=IF(MOD(A1,2) = 0, "EVEN", "ODD")

Rocky0201,

Before the macro:

Excel Workbook
	A	B
2	1
3
4	10
5
6	3
7
8	7
9
10	1000
Sheet1

After the macro:

Excel Workbook
	A	B
2	1	odd
3
4	10	even
5
6	3	odd
7
8	7	odd
9
10	1000	even
Sheet1

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

Adding the Macro
1. Copy the below macro, by highlighting the macro code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Open your workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Paste the code by pressing the keys CTRL + V
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel

Sub OddEven()
With Range("B2:B" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
  .FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-1]="""","""",IF(MOD(RC[-1],2)=0,""even"",""odd""))"
  .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

Then run the "OddEven" macro.

Thanks Peter and Jim...

Peter, I used your statement and recevied a compile error--

LR = Sheets(SrcWks).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
With Range("A1:A" & LR)
IIf(Range("A2").Value Mod 2 = 0, "Even", "odd")
End With

I tried changing the IIf to IF and also received a compile error.

I'm not certain but I may need to convert the value in the cell to numeric first?

Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated...

My apologies to hiker95 -- I did not realize you had also posted a reply... thanks hiker95!!

If you know they are whole numbers, another way is to And the value with 1:

Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("A2", Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp))
  If Not IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then cell.Offset(,1) = Iif(cell.Value And 1,""Odd"",""Even"")
Next cell

Thanks Richard...

I am also receiving a compile error in the IF Not statement.

I only need to test for the odd, even or null. I will add code to perfrom various tasks depending on what I find (odd, even or null) in column A.

Thanks again

Try

Sub test2()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LR
    With Range("A" & i)
        Select Case .Value
            Case "": .Offset(, 1).Value = "Null"
            Case Else: .Offset(, 1).Value = IIf(.Value Mod 2 = 0, "Even", "Odd")
        End Select
    End With
Next i
End Sub

Thank you very much Peter...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
so very close... let me explain what I am trying to accomplish--<o></o>
<o></o>
I have a spreadsheet that, in column A starting at row 2 through a variable number of rows, the following values exist:<o></o>
<o></o>
1) a number from 1 through x or,<o></o>
2) the value "Description:" (plus a description in the row following) or,<o></o>
3) the value "Comment:" (plus the comment in the row following<o></o>
<o></o>
If the value is a number, i need to know if the number is odd or even so that I may do various formatting to the cells in that row (columns A thru H) such as set the fill color to something (for even) and something else (for odd) and set the border to a certain value. I believe that I do not have any issues with knowing what to code for setting fill colors or setting borders.<o></o>
<o></o>
If the value is "Description:", i need to move the value to the B column in the same row and blank ("") the A column in the same row. Additionally, I need to move the row immediately following "Description:" to column B, blank ("") column A in that row and set columns B thru H to merge with wrap text = true in that row.<o></o>
<o></o>
If the value is "Comment:", i need to do the exact same thing as described in the paragraph above.<o></o>
<o></o>
Hope this make sense... if not, please let me know...<o></o>
<o></o>
Thanks again so very much...<o></o>
