Few days ago, I have asked you, Do you want to learn Excel VBA online? and many of you said YES.
So we are starting the program, on next Monday – 9th of May.
VBA Classes is a 12 week online training program that will explain various Excel VBA concepts to you in an easy to understand format. Just like Excel School, we will keep this fun, exciting, interactive and useful. We will learn from each other as much as we learn from this course.
When I announced about this program, a lot of you asked me questions like what topics you will cover, when does it start, how long, how much, how does it work etc. etc. I have answers for all these, but putting them in a post will make insanely large. So I made a small video (18 minutes) explaining how the whole program works. Please watch the video to learn about our VBA Classes.
If you are in a hurry, here is the gist of it.
- The course will cover all topics relevant for a VBA beginner or intermediate user.
- You can take the lessons anytime you want (no live classes, everything is online).
- It is for 12 weeks + 3 bonus weeks (The bonus weeks are run in parallel, so the course duration remains 12 weeks)
- We will have a class project at week 11. We will build something fun, useful & complicated using Excel & VBA.
- Enrollment starts on 9th of May (Monday) and closes on 20th May (Friday).
- Classes begin on 23rd of May and continue till 3rd week of September.
- You can access all the lessons, download material, ask questions etc. until November 30th, 2011.
- The program will be conducted by Vijay, Hui and Myself.
- The program comes in 3 flavors:
- Online Option – $67: View all lessons online, download Excel workbooks.
- Download Option – $97: View lessons online, download HD quality lesson videos & Excel workbooks etc.
- Excel School + VBA Classes Option – $167: View & Download all lessons from Excel School & VBA Classes
If you like this concept, please do these 2 things:
1. Download Course Brochure
We have put together a course brochure to help you understand various aspects of this program. Go ahead and download it [PDF].
Also, Visit the VBA Classes page for details on the course. This is where you can enroll for the program on 9th.
2. Tell us your Name & E-mail ID to get updates about the course

Infact, instead of using =ISEVEN(B3), how about to use =ISEVEN(ROW())
So it takes away any chance of wrong referencing.
I like Daily Dose of Excel
I like it.
Just a heads up, you do need to have the Analysis ToolPak add-in activated to use the ISEVEN / ISODD functions. An alternative to ISEVEN would be:
=MOD(ROW(),2)=0
rather than use a formula, couldn't you enter "true" in first cell and "false" in the second and drag it down and than filter on true or false.
Just for clarification, is Ashish looking to filter by even or odd Characters or rows?
so many functions to learn!
Nice support by chandoo and team as a helpdesk. Give us more to learn and make us awesome. Always be helpful.......
In case you want to delete instead of filter,
IF your data is in Sheet1 column A
Put this in Sheet2 column A and drag down
=OFFSET(Sheet1!A$1,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*2,,)
(This is to delete even rows)
To delete odd rows :
=OFFSET(Sheet1!A$2,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*2,,)
If your numbered cells did not correspond to rows, the answer would be even simpler:
=MOD([cell address],2), then filter by 0 to see evens or 1 to see odds.
I sometimes do this using an even simpler method. I add a new column called "Sign" and put the value of 1 in the first row, say cell C2 if C1 contains the header. Then in C3 I put the formula =-1 * C2, which I copy and paste into the rest of the rows (so C4 has =-1 * C3 and so forth). Now I can just apply a filter and pick either +1 or -1 to see half the rows.
Another way, which works if I want three possibilities: in C2 I put the value 1, in C3 I put the value 2, in C4 I put the value 3, then in C5 I put the formula =C2 then I copy C5 and paste into all the remaining rows (so C6 gets =C3, C7 gets =C4, etc.). Now I can apply a filter and pick the value 1, 2, or 3 to see a third of the rows.
Extending this approach to more than 3 cases is left as an exercise for the reader.
Another way =MOD(ROW();2). In this case, must to choose betwen 1 and 0.

Thankssssssssssssssss
Hi Chandoo- First of all thanks for the trick. It helped me a lot. Here I have one more challenge. Having filtered the data based on odd. I want to paste data in another sheet adjacent to it. How can I do that?
For Example-
A 1 odd
B 3 odd
C 4 even
D 6 even
I have fileted the above data for odd and want to copy the "This is odd number" text in adjacent/next sheet here. How can I do that. After doing this my data should look like this
A 1 odd This is odd number
B 3 odd This is odd number
C 4 even
D 6 even
Hi! Could you please help me find a formula to filter by language?
Thank you!
Chandoo SIR,
I HAVE A DATA IN EXCEL ROWS LIKE BELOW IS THERE ANY FORMULA OR A WAY WHERE I CAN INSTRUCT I CAN MAKE CHANGES , MEANS I WANT TO WRITE ONLY , THE FIG IS FRESH, BUT IN BELOW ROW IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TAKE THE SOME WORDS FROM FIGS AND MAKE IN PLURAL FORM , WHILE USING '' ARE'' LIKE BELOW
The fig is fresh - row 1
Figs are fresh - row 2
The Pomegranate is red - row 3
Pomegranates are red - row 4
=IF(EVEN(A1)=A1,"EVEN - do something","ODD - do something else") with iferron (for blank Cell)
