The security settlement date is the date after the issue date when the Treasury bill is traded to the buyer. maturityDate is the Treasury bill's maturity date. The maturity date is the date when the Treasury bill expires. price is the Treasury bill's price per $100 face value.
VDB (cost, salvage, lifetime, startPeriod, endPeriod) VDB (cost, salvage, lifetime, startPeriod, endPeriod, depreciationFactor) VDB (cost, salvage, lifetime, startPeriod, endPeriod, noSwitch) VDB (cost, salvage, lifetime, startPeriod, endPeriod, depreciationFactor, noSwitch)	Returns the depreciation of an asset for any period you specify, including partial periods, using the double-declining balance method or some other method you specify. VDB stands for variable declining balance.	cost is the initial cost of the asset. salvage is the value at the end of the depreciation (sometimes called the salvage value of the asset). lifetime is the number of periods over which the asset is being depreciated (sometimes called the useful life of the asset). startPeriod is the starting period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. startPeriod must use the same units as life. endPeriod is the ending period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. endPeriod must use the same units as life. depreciationFactor is the rate at which the balance declines. If factor is omitted, it is assumed to be 2 (the double-declining balance method). noSwitch is a logical value specifying whether to switch to straight-line depreciation when depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.
XIRR (values, dates) XIRR (values, dates, rateGuess)	Returns the internal rate of return for a schedule of cash flows that is not necessarily periodic. To calculate the internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows, use the IRR function.	values is a series of cash flows that corresponds to a schedule of payments in dates. dates is a schedule of payment dates that corresponds to the cash flow payments. rateGuess is a number that you guess is close to the result of XIRR.
XNPV (rate, values, dates)	Returns the net present value for a schedule of cash flows that is not necessarily periodic. To calculate the net present value for a series of cash flows that is periodic, use the NPV function.	rate is the discount rate to apply to the cash flows. values is a series of cash flows that corresponds to a schedule of payments in dates. dates is a schedule of payment dates that corresponds to the cash flow payments.
YearFrac (startDate, endDate) YearFrac (startDate, endDate, basis)	Returns the fraction of a year spanned by the interval of time between the two dates.	startDate is the starting period for which you want to calculate the fraction. endDate is the ending period for which you want to calculate the fraction. basis is the type of day count basis to use. For example: 0 - American 30/360 (default) 1 - actual/actual 2 - actual/360 3 - actual/365 4 - European 30/360
Yield (settlementDate, maturityDate, couponRate, price, redemptionValue, frequency) Yield (settlementDate, maturityDate, couponRate, price, redemptionValue, frequency, basis)	Returns the yield on a security that pays periodic interest. Use Yield to calculate bond yield.	settlementDate is the security's settlement date. The security settlement date is the date after the issue date when the security is traded to the buyer. maturityDate is the security's maturity date. The maturity date is the date when the security expires. couponRate is the security's annual coupon rate. price is the security's price per $100 face value. redemptionValue is the security's redemption value per $100 face value. frequency is the number of coupon payments per year. For annual payments, frequency = 1; for semiannual, frequency = 2; for quarterly, frequency =4. basis is the type of day count basis to use. For example: 0 - American 30/360 (default) 1 - actual/actual 2 - actual/360 3 - actual/365 4 - European 30/360
YieldDisc (settlementDate, maturityDate, price, redemptionValue) YieldDisc (settlementDate, maturityDate, price, redemptionValue, basis)	Returns the annual yield for a discounted security.	settlementDate is the security's settlement date. The security settlement date is the date after the issue date when the security is traded to the buyer. maturityDate is the security's maturity date. The maturity date is the date when the security expires. price is the security's price per $100 face value. redemptionValue is the security's redemption value per $100 face value. basis is the type of day count basis to use. For example: 0 - American 30/360 (default) 1 - actual/actual 2 - actual/360 3 - actual/365 4 - European 30/360
YieldMat (settlementDate, maturityDate, issueDate, interestRate, price) YieldMat (settlementDate, maturityDate, issueDate, interestRate, price, basis)	Returns the annual yield of a security that pays interest at maturity.	settlementDate is the security's settlement date. The security settlement date is the date after the issue date when the security is traded to the buyer. maturityDate is the security's maturity date. The maturity date is the date when the security expires. issueDate is the security's issue date, expressed as a serial date number. interestRate is the security's interest rate at date of issue. price is a non-negative number or currency specifying the security's purchase price per $100 of face value. basis is the type of day count basis to use. For example: 0 - American 30/360 (default) 1 - actual/actual 2 - actual/360 3 - actual/365 4 - European 30/360
