filter for even numbers in Excel
A previous post covered this but I need a bit more help to complete the task.
I have a list of addresses, formatted with the street number and street name in separate columns. I need to keep the even-numbered addresses and discard the odd-numbered ones. The previous question came up with an answer using the ISEVEN formula but I think I'm inputting it incorrectly or placing it in the wrong location. If you can help, please be as specific as possible as I'm not using Excel formulas every day and have to walk myself through them when I do. Thanks! Kirsten |

Post the formula you're using.

If the first street NUMBER is in A1 use =ISEVEN(A1) this will given either
FALSE or TRUE On the other hand, --ISEVEN(A1) {that is two negative signs after the = sign} will give 0 or 1 Copy down the column and not you can sort best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Kirstensaid" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I need some pretty basic information
here to go on. If I enter =ISEVEN(A1) as a formula in the formula bar for the A1 cell (where the street number is located) the street number is replaced with 0 whether or not it's an even or an odd number. And it replaces the street number. Should I copy the street number to a second column to save the record of that? (I've got to generate address labels when I'm done sorting so I still need that number.) Is there something else or somewhere else that I should be putting the formula, or other characters in front? I'm really at sea here and would appreciate as much direction as possible. Thanks!

Oh, beautiful! It worked! Thanks so much!
I created another A1 column to the left to contain the formula and referenced the B1 cell and it worked! How fabulous is that! Thanks thanks thanks!
