Mod Function

[Lizz45ie]

The Mod function returns #Num! error value. Here is my formula:

=MOD(H3*100,2)>0.5

The above formula is used in my net value column. If the Net value is above
$3 million I get the #Num! error.

An interesting limitation/undocumented feature/bug of the MOD function.

I modified by formula from the suggestion: I got a Run Time error '5':
Invalid procedure call argument. "=MOD(MOD(H3,134217728*100,2))"

If you were following this work-around:
=MOD(MOD(number,134217728*divisor),divisor)

then your formula should look like
=MOD(MOD(H3*100,134217728*2),2)

Thanks for your suggestion. It didn't work.

If you were following this work-around:
=MOD(MOD(number,134217728*divisor),divisor)

then your formula should look like
=MOD(MOD(H3*100,134217728*2),2)

Can you tell what you are trying to accomplish? Why do you think you
need MOD?

What isn't working? Error? Wrong result?

FWIW, as a worksheet function
=MOD(MOD(H3*100,134217728*2),2)
works for me up to a value of 999999999999.99 in H3.

If you are using VBA there was a different approach suggested on the
site below.

I have four columns in a Excel 20007 macro that uses Visual Basic. The
columns should sum in the Net value column of the report with a value of
3,304,384. Here is the formula a I put in my macro:
"=MOD(MOD(H3*100,134217728*2),2)"

Instead of the formula summing the values I get #NUM! in the Net value.

The Mod function returns #Num! error value. Here is my formula:

=MOD(H3*100,2)>0.5

The above formula is used in my net value column. If the Net value is above
$3 million I get the #Num! error.

You could eliminate the MOD() function:

=((H3-INT(H3*50)/50)*100)>0.5
