Syntax Description
VDB(cost; salvage; life; start; end;
factor; type)
Returns the depreciation of an asset for a specified or partial
period using a variable declining balance method. Cost is the
initial value of an asset. Salvage is the value of an asset at
the end of the depreciation. Life is the depreciation duration
of the asset. Start is the start of the depreciation entered in
the same date unit as the life. End is the end of the
depreciation. Factor (optional) is the depreciation factor.
FA=2 is double rate depreciation. Type (optional) defines
whether the payment is due at the beginning (1) or the end
(0) of a period.
XIRR(values; dates; guess) Calculates the internal rate of return for a list of payments
which take place on different dates. The calculation is based
on a 365 days per year basis, ignoring leap years. If the
payments take place at regular intervals, use the IRR
function. Values and dates are a series of payments and the
series of associated date values entered as cell references.
Guess (optional) is a guess for the internal rate of return.
The default is 10%.
XNPV(rate; values; dates) Calculates the capital value (net present value) for a list of
payments which take place on different dates. The
calculation is based on a 365 days per year basis, ignoring
leap years. If the payments take place at regular intervals,
use the NPV function. Rate is the internal rate of return for
the payments. Values and dates are a series of payments
and the series of associated date values entered as cell
references.
YIELD(settlement; maturity; rate;
price; redemption; frequency;
basis)
YIELDDISC(settlement; maturity;
price; redemption; basis)
YIELDMAT(settlement; maturity;
issue; rate; price; basis)
Calculates the yield of a security. Settlement is the date of
purchase of the security. Maturity is the date on which the
security matures (expires). Rate is the annual rate of interest.
Price is the price (purchase price) of the security per 100
currency units of par value. Redemption is the redemption
value per 100 currency units of par value. Frequency is the
number of interest payments per year (1, 2 or 4). Basis
indicates how the year is to be calculated.
Calculates the annual yield of a non-interest-bearing security.
Settlement is the date of purchase of the security. Maturity
is the date on which the security matures (expires). Price is
the price (purchase price) of the security per 100 currency
units of par value. Redemption is the redemption value per
100 currency units of par value. Basis indicates how the year
is to be calculated.
Calculates the annual yield of a security, the interest of which
is paid on the date of maturity. Settlement is the date of
purchase of the security. Maturity is the date on which the
security matures (expires). Issue is the date of issue of the
security. Rate is the interest rate of the security on the issue
date. Price is the price (purchase price) of the security per
100 currency units of par value. Basis indicates how the year
is to be calculated.
