ODD Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Rounding a number up to the nearest odd integer for specific alignments
Understanding the ODD Formula
The ODD function in Excel rounds a number up to the nearest odd integer, always moving away from zero. It’s a counterpart to EVEN, useful for scenarios needing odd-numbered outputs—like alternating patterns, batching, or odd-based sequences.
ODD(3.2) returns 5, while ODD(-2.3) gives -3. It’s a single-argument function, ensuring the result is odd, which can be handy for specific formatting or calculation rules requiring odd parity.
Why Use ODD?
ODD aligns numbers to odd values—think scheduling odd days or pairing items in odd sets. Its niche utility shines in custom rounding needs, offering a predictable way to enforce oddness in your data.
Example with Sample Data
Number | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
3.2 | =ODD(3.2) | 5 |
2 | =ODD(2) | 3 |
-2.3 | =ODD(-2.3) | -3 |
ODD pushes to odd: 3.2 to 5, -2.3 to -3. It’s an oddball rounder.
