MicroStrategy ONE

Fvschedule (Future Value Schedule)

Returns the future value of an initial principal after a series of compound-interest rates are applied. Use this function to calculate the future value of an investment that has a variable or adjustable rate.

Syntax

Fvschedule <Basis> (Argument, PV)

Where:

Argument is a set of applicable interest rates.

PV is the present value of the investment.

Basis is a parameter that indicates the time-count basis to be used. The default value for Basis is 0, which is typically used by American agencies and assumes 30-day months and 360-day years (30/360). Possible values for this parameter are listed in the following table.

Basis value Application

1 (actual/actual)

Assumes actual number of days in each month, actual number of days in each year.

2 (actual/360)
