Hiding Rows Based on a Cell Value
Excel includes two functions that allow you to quickly round a number up to the next highest even or odd integer values. For instance, suppose you have the value 26.3 in cell A7, and the following in cell A9:
=EVEN(A7)
The value returned by this function is 28, which is the next highest even integer value. The following function will return a value of 27, which is the next highest odd value:
=ODD(A7)
If the value in A7 were negative, then both the ODD and EVEN functions will return values that are further away from zero than the value used as an argument (but they are still odd and even).
