You got #N/A because you probably keyed in ( ) after =iseven.
I only keyed in =iseven without ( ) and I got a long number 752746504. Is this a phone no. or what? ;)
For =isodd, I got -708247545. A negative number?

Do you get the same when you drop the ( )?

I get #N/A, don't you? Oddly, in XP I get #VALUE.

=iseven(cell ref) or =isodd(cell ref) works fine. This is neat!

Has anyone tried to key in =iseven or =isodd (i.e. without the cell ref) in
a cell? I didn't get an error but ......

I'll let you find out. No idea what that means.

I use V 2003.

someone could provide a simpler solution but for the moment you can use the
'iseven' function (eg: =iseven(cell ref) This will reply true for an even
number and false for an odd number. You then just need to count the
responses. Two sumifs will do this for you. (note: you will need to have
the analysis toolpak add-in installed for the iseven function to work
(toolsadd-ins and then tick all add-ins except euros, you can tick euros if
you ever intend to work in european currencies))
