For the first. I'm assuming that A1 is an integer here. If not, the
formula will need to change

=IF(MOD(A1,2)=1,A1-1,A1)

Have you defined what you want for the ranges
Say 1 to 1 1/2 is aa
1 1/2 to 2 is bb
2 to 2 1/2 is cc

If so, I'm thinking that VLOOKUP or LOOKUP will be helpful to you. Do a
search on them and see if they would work.

I need a formula for excel that will round down an odd number in a cell to
the next even number.

I also need a formula example: if a number cell is =a number range (say, 1
to 1-1/2), the new cell should contain a message (such as:"A", "B", "BBC",
etc)
