# EVEN

The **EVEN** function rounds a number up to the nearest even integer. If the input number is already an even number, it remains unchanged. The function accepts numeric values as well as cell references as arguments. It is commonly used in calculations where results must conform to even-number requirements, such as packaging quantities, batch sizes, or standardized increments.

### Syntax

```javascript
EVEN(value)
```

### Arguments

value - The input number to be rounded off (Required).

### Example

```javascript
EVEN(Column)
```

In the example below, the *Even* measure is created using the **EVEN** function, which returns the nearest even integer of the values in *MEASURE 2*.
