Entering Dates

format.

three-letter abbreviation for the day of the week (for example,
WED).
Selecting the Day-Count Method Affects Calculations
• When you select ACT as the day-count method, the calculator uses
the actual number of days in each month and each year, including
adjustments for leap years.
• When you select 360 as the day-count method, the calculator
assumes 30 days per month (360 days per year). You can compute
DBD using this day-count method, but not DT1 or DT2.
