ODD takes just one argument, number, which should be a numeric value. With positive numbers, ODD rounds number up to the next odd integer. With negative values, ODD rounds number down away from zero to the next odd negative integer. With one (1) and numbers that are already odd integers, number is unchanged.
Examples
The ODD function rounds positive numbers up to the next odd integer: Negative numbers are rounded away from zero to the next odd integer: The number 1 and numbers that are already odd integers are unaffected: To round numbers up to the next even integer, see the EVEN function.
