Usage Notes

If Settlement, Maturity, Issue, or FirstCoupon is not an integer, it is truncated.

The engine returns an empty cell if:

  • Settlement, Maturity, Issue, or FirstCoupon is not a valid date
  • CouponRate < 0
  • Price £ 0
  • The following date-related condition is not satisfied: Maturity > FirstCoupon > Settlement > Issue

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.
