Or with not that many lines, but basically the same:

dim myVal as variant
myval =
workbooks("someworkbook.xls").worksheet("somesheet ").range("x99").value

if isnumeric(myval) AND myval < 1AND myval mod 2 = 1 then
'do your stuff here, like:
msgbox myval
end if

unless you need to find out which statement did fail you can use the
short form.

I need to run a subroutine based on a variable value. I'm sure it'll be an if
statement, but how do I tell something not to run if a specific variable's
value is an odd number but not equal to 1.
