Even or Odd Year Function
I am trying to use the Year Function =Year(A1). If A1 is actually a vlookup when I place the fubction in cell B1 it works fine. However if I place =Year(vlookup(C1,Table,3,false)) in cell A1 it no longer works correctly. Any ideas or suggestions. I am trying to come up with a formula that determines whether the year of a date is odd or even.

Even or Odd Year Function
Your formula worked okay for me. What exaclty is displayed in A1 when you
enter your formula? Only thing I can suggest is to make sure the formula is written correctly, and that it's correctly returning a serial (date). for your end goal, I would suggest using ISEVEN or ISODD. Both of these are included in the Analysis ToolPak add-in. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Dave H" wrote: I am trying to use the Year Function =Year(A1).

Even or Odd Year Function
What is the format of the cell being returned by VLOOKUP...
When you put the VLOOKUP in A1 and do =YEAR(A1), Year gets the value as formatted by A1... In =YEAR(VLOOKUP...) you it gets the value as returned by VLOOKUP... If you have a date in A1 you can get wheter year is even or odd by using the formula =IF(MOD(YEAR(A1),2)=0,"Even","Odd") "Dave H" wrote: I am trying to use the Year Function =Year(A1).

ISEVEN(YEAR(A1)) -or- ISODD(YEAR(A1)) Now - this does work if you substitute a VLOOKUP for the range reference "A1" -- you can do it all together - something like this ... ISEVEN(YEAR(VLOOKUP("My Criteria",A1:B2,2,FALSE))) -or- ISODD(YEAR(VLOOKUP("My Criteria",A1:B2,2,FALSE))) ... tested it for you over here - this will work for sure Hope it helps you ! - Rodney POWELL Microsoft MVP - Excel www.BeyondTechnology.com |
