Yes, if non-integer it will truncate.

It just dawned on me - I assume that ISEVEN() works on the integer part
os a number only?

David,

Wouldn't that have to be:

=INT(SQRT(A1))-(ISEVEN(INT(SQRT(A1))))

(not that I have the ISEVEN() function to check it)

There is a given value 68 in cell A1, I would like to determine the
value
based on following conditions.
Sqrt(68) = 8.24621, and the rounddown to the closest odd number, which
is 7,
and return this value in cell B1.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
