How to Count Cells that Contain even or odd numbers in Excel

,

This post will guide you how to count the number of cells that contain odd or even numbers within a range of cells using a formula in Excel 2013/2016.How do I count cells that contain odd numbers through the use of an Excel VBA Macro.

Count Number of Cells that Contain Even Numbers

Assuming that you have a data list in the range of cells B1:B6, and you want count the number of cells containing only even numbers, and write the result in cell D1.You can use a formula based on the SUMPRODUCT function and the MOD function. Like this:

 =SUMPRODUCT(–(MOD(B1:B6,2)=0))

count cells that contain even numbers1

Let’s see how this formula works:

=MOD(B1:B6,2)=0

The Mod function can be used to check whether the cell within the range B1:B6 containing the numbers if they are divided by 2 or not. If True, it indicates that that number is an even number. This formula returns an array result like:

{TRUE;TRUE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE}

The double negative operator would convert the above result array into 1 and 0. And still returns an array result. Like:

{1;1;1;0;0;1}

The SUMPRODUCT function will add those numbers in the array result and returns the final result.

Count Number of Cells that Contain Odd Numbers

If you want to count number that contain odd numbers within a range of cells B1:B6, and you can use a formula based on the SUMPRODUCT function along with the MOD function. Like below:

=SUMPRODUCT(–(MOD(B1:B6,2)<>0))

count cells that contain even numbers2

The Mod function will check whether the cell with the range B1:B6 containing numbers are divided by 2 or not.

Count Number of Cells that Contain Odd Numbers Using VBA

 Get the position of the nth using excel vba1

Step2#  then the “Visual Basic Editor” window will appear.

Step3# click “Insert” ->”Module” to create a new module.

convert column number to letter3

Step4# paste the below VBA code into the code window. Then clicking “Save” button.

Sub CountCellsContainOddNumbers()
Dim mysheet As Worksheet
Dim myrange As Range
Set mysheet = Worksheets("Sheet3")
Set myrange = mysheet.Range("B1:B6")
For Each xcell In myrange
cellmod = xcell Mod 2
oddnum = oddnum + cellmod
Next xcell
mysheet.Range("D1") = oddnum

End Sub
