help with formula

[so confused]

I need a formula for excel that will round down an odd number in a cell to
the next even number.

I also need a formula example: if a number cell is =a number range (say, 1
to 1-1/2), the new cell should contain a message (such as:"A", "B", "BBC",
etc)

For the first. I'm assuming that A1 is an integer here. If not, the
formula will need to change

=IF(MOD(A1,2)=1,A1-1,A1)

Have you defined what you want for the ranges
Say 1 to 1 1/2 is aa
1 1/2 to 2 is bb
2 to 2 1/2 is cc

If so, I'm thinking that VLOOKUP or LOOKUP will be helpful to you. Do a
search on them and see if they would work.

 

[Lookup formula limitation?]

Do you know?
When i copy a cell A1 from file 1 with 500 words in it to file 2 in B2,
after past I see only 35 words out of 500?

I suspect that none of us knew that. Is there a question here?
