ISEVEN(number) The ISEVEN function returns TRUE if the number is an even integer, or FALSE if the number is odd. If the number is not an integer, the function evaluates only the integer part of the number. Example:
View SketchUp Example
ISODD(number) The ISODD function returns TRUE if the number is an odd integer, or FALSE if the number is even. If value is not a number, the function evaluates only the integer part of the number. Example:

LN(number) THE LN function returns the natural logarithm based on the constant e of the number. Example:
View SketchUp Example
LOG10(number) The LOG10 function returns the base-10 logarithm of the number. Example:
View SketchUp Example
ODD(number) The ODD function rounds the number up to the nearest odd integer. Example:
View SketchUp Example
PI() The PI function returns the value of PI to fourteen decimal places.  
RADIANS(number) The RADIAN function converts the number (in degrees) to radians. Example:
View SketchUp Example
RAND() The RAND function returns a random number between 0 and 1. Example:
View SketchUp Example
RANDBETWEEN(bottom, top) The RANDBETWEEN function returns a whole number between the bottom and top number. Example:

=RANDBETWEEN(1,3)
The previous example returns a 1, 2, 3.

ROUND(number, count) The ROUND function rounds the number to a certain number of decimal places according to valid mathematical criteria. The count argument is optional and represents the number of the places to round the number. If the count argument is negative, only the whole number portion is rounded. Example:

=ROUND(1.12789,2)
The previous example returns 1.13.
