Hi Bernard

Nice solution, but I think it works without being array entered.

No need for VBA this time:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(A1,(ROW(INDIRECT("2:"&INT(SQRT(A1))))))=0))," Not
Prime","Prime")
must be array-entered (ie with SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER)
best wishes

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the prime numbers?
There is a given number 10 in cell A2, I would like to determine the
next
prime numbers below and over this given number 10. In this case, 11 will
be
returned in cell A1, and 7 will be returned in A3.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
