Is there a study that can "speak to" the identity of a number(for spreadsheet programming)?




For instance, if I have the price 9886, is there something I can use that can determine whether the last digit is a "5", and if so, then "abc etc"

Try this:
=VALUE(RIGHT(TEXT(VALUE(E3)),1))=5
This makes E3 a value, makes it a text string, than counts from the right 1 character and returns that character, then makes that character a number, then compares it to 5.

"=VALUE(RIGHT(TEXT(VALUE(E3)),1))=5"

One quick question here though:

If I had 9886.5, would I now have to use RIGHT "2" to go two characters over and reach the "6"?

You'd have to use RIGHT "3" because the decimal point is a position.
