A) 25/5=5
B) 28/5=5.6

I pick up a value and want to test if it is divisible by 5. If the result
is not a whole number I need to hold off what ever the count might be, so in
case B I would store in some variable 3 from the 28 allowing the calculation
to result in 5. I am at a loss as how to test if the result is a whole
number and if not how to figure out what to reduce the numerator by.

Appreciatively,
Arturo

Hi Arturo,

If you're looking for a VBA solution, look at the Mod operator:

Debug.Print 25 Mod 5
Debug.Print 28 Mod 5

There is also a MOD() function for use in a sheet...
