 REMARKS
 
  • This function is only available if you have the Analysis ToolPak add-in installed.
     
  • The settlement date is the date a buyer purchases a coupon, such as a bond.
     
  • The maturity date is the date when a coupon expires.
     
  • The redemption value is the value of the security when it matures. Sometimes referred to as the Par value.
     
  • The "settlement", "maturity", and "basis" are truncated to integers.
     
  • If "settlement" or "maturity" is not a valid date, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • If "pr" = 0, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • If "redemption" = 0, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • If "basis" < 0, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • If "basis" > 4, then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • If "settlement" = "maturity", then #NUM! is returned.
     
  • An example of a discounted security is a US Treasury bill.
     
  • Example 1 - What is the yield of a 20-year treasury bill issued on January 1 2008, with a settlement date of July 1 2009 with a redemption value of $65 and a price ratio of 100. The maturity date would therefore be January 1 2028 (issue date + 20 years).
