date and bond calculations
Win XP HE, XL 2002 - follow-up: microsoft.public.excel.misc
Hi, What is the best way to enter a maturity date to calculate PRICE function? If I am not looking at an actual bond with a stated maturity date but I want to run a theoretical one, using today's date as settlement (I can use function today() here) but maturity I wd like to say today + 10 years for example; instead of having to input the actual date 2015,4,29 for example, is there a way of using s'thing similar to today()+10 years or today + (360*10), etc. and how would one actually enter it in the formula (price for example)? Tx! Also, is there a way to extend bond price calculation functions in excel, some free add-ins, etc.? Tx? S |
using the edate function I found the price of a 100 face yielding 6% and
coupon 5 % semiannual redeming in 10 years =PRICE(TODAY(),EDATE(TODAY(),10*12),5%,6%,100,2) =92.56126 "saturnin02" <saturnin02_at_hotmail.com wrote in message ...
