About This Feature

Overview

ISODD is a spreadsheet function in WPS Office for Windows that checks whether a given value is an odd number and returns a logical result. It is useful for data validation, conditional logic, and batch analysis when you need to separate odd and even values quickly.

Core capabilities include:

Check whether a single value is odd by entering a number or a cell reference.
Work with conditional formulas such as IF for classification logic.
Support references from other worksheets in the same workbook.
Recalculate automatically when referenced data changes.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Use `ISODD` in WPS Spreadsheet to check whether a value is odd, with support for parameter input, cross-worksheet references, nested formulas, and automatic recalculation.	Excel provides `ISODD(number)` and returns TRUE if a number is odd and FALSE if it is even.	Google Sheets provides `ISODD(value)` to check whether the provided value is odd and return TRUE or FALSE.	Notion supports formula properties, math operations, conditions, and function combinations, but it does not document a standalone `ISODD` function.	Acrobat supports calculated PDF form fields such as sum, product, average, minimum, and maximum, rather than spreadsheet functions like `ISODD`.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can type `=ISODD(` directly in WPS Spreadsheet and continue with formula hints. Distinct: It fits worksheet-based analysis with cross-sheet references and nested formulas.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers the same named function with directly comparable syntax.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers the same named function and notes that it is often used with IF in conditional statements.	Compared with WPS: Notion formulas are designed for database properties and page-level logic instead of worksheet cell formulas.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat calculations are designed for PDF form fields, not spreadsheet-style formula analysis.

Overall Conclusion
If your work focuses on odd-even checks, conditional classification, and recalculation as data changes, ISODD in WPS covers everyday spreadsheet needs directly. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets provide closely comparable function support, while Notion and Adobe Acrobat are better aligned with database-property or PDF-form scenarios.
