EVEN

  • Article

Returns number rounded up to the nearest even integer. You can use this function for processing items that come in twos. For example, a packing crate accepts rows of one or two items. The crate is full when the number of items, rounded up to the nearest two, matches the crate's capacity.

Syntax

Parameters

Term Definition
number The value to round.

Return value

Remarks

  • If number is nonnumeric, EVEN returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • Regardless of the sign of number, a value is rounded up when adjusted away from zero. If number is an even integer, no rounding occurs.

  • This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
