About This Feature
Overview
The ISODD function in WPS Spreadsheet checks whether a number is odd. After you enter a number or a cell reference, the function returns TRUE or FALSE, which is useful for data checks, conditional formulas, and repeated worksheet calculations.
Core tasks include:
- Insert ISODD from the Insert Function dialog.
- Type
=ISODD(...)directly in a cell or in the formula bar. - Review syntax and parameter details before or during formula entry.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet, you can use ISODD through direct formula entry or the Insert Function dialog to test whether a value is odd. | Excel provides ISODD(number) and returns TRUE or FALSE; if the number is not an integer, it is truncated, and nonnumeric input returns #VALUE!. | Google Sheets provides ISODD(value) to check whether the provided value is odd and commonly uses it together with IF in conditional formulas. | Notion formulas support numbers, logic, and conditional functions, but the official function list does not include a same-name ISODD function, so similar logic is typically built with expressions such as modulo. | Acrobat focuses on PDF form calculations and lets users configure calculated form fields, rather than offering worksheet functions such as ISODD. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can enter and review ISODD directly in worksheet cells, the formula bar, or the Insert Function dialog, which fits everyday spreadsheet work on Windows. | Compared with WPS: It offers a similar function and explicitly documents truncation and #VALUE! behavior. | Compared with WPS: It offers a similar function and is often used in browser-based collaboration. | Compared with WPS: Similar logic can be built with the formula language, but it is not a ready-made spreadsheet function with the same name. | Compared with WPS: It is oriented to PDF form field calculations instead of worksheet formula entry. |

Overall Conclusion
For odd-number checks and worksheet formula entry, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all provide direct ISODD support. Notion is more suitable for database-style formula building, while Adobe Acrobat is designed for PDF form calculations, so WPS remains a direct fit for spreadsheet-based formula work on Windows.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main need | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Odd-number classification | Spreadsheet users | Quickly identify whether IDs or quantities are odd | Enter =ISODD(cell) to return a logical result |
| 2 | Conditional formula support | Finance and operations users | Add odd/even checks inside IF-style logic | Combine ISODD with IF for branch conditions |
| 3 | Fill-down calculations | Everyday office users | Repeated checks across many rows take time manually | Enter the formula once and fill it down |
| 4 | Formula learning and troubleshooting | New users | Need help with syntax and parameter entry | Review syntax from the Insert Function dialog |
| 5 | Direct formula entry | Users familiar with formulas | Prefer fewer dialog steps | Type =ISODD(...) directly in the formula bar |
