Usage Notes
If Settlement or Maturity is not an integer, it is truncated.
The engine returns an empty cell if:
- Settlement or Maturity is not a valid date
- DiscRate £ 0 or Redemption £ 0
- Settlement ³ Maturity
The Settlement date and the Maturity date should be included within single quotations in the expression for the expression to be considered as a valid expression.
