You need to use the annual rate divided by the number of periods. For example, with a 5% annual
rate

Annual:
=FV(0.05,1,0,1000,1)

Monthly:
=FV(0.05/12,12,0,1000,1)

Daily:
=FV(0.05/365,365,0,1000,1)

All the financial functions work the same general way.

I see the formula for calculating annually compounded interest. Is there a
function formula for daily compounding of interest?
