NOM: the nominal interest.
P: the number of interest payment periods per year.
Calculates the effective annual rate of interest on the basis of the nominal interest rate and the number of interest payments per annum.The functions whose names end with _ADD return the same results as the corresponding Microsoft Excel functions. Use the functions without _ADD to get results based on international standards. For example, the WEEKNUM function calculates the week number of a given date based on international standard ISO 6801, while WEEKNUM_ADD returns the same week number as Microsoft Excel.
Syntax
EFFECT_ADD(Nominal rate;Npery)
Syntax Description
Nominal rate: the annual nominal rate of interest.
Npery: the number of interest payments per year.
Lower limit: lower limit of integral.
Upper limit: optionally, the upper limit of the integral.
If this value is missing, the calculation takes places between 0 and the lower limit.
Returns the number corresponding to an error value occurring in a different cell. With the aid of this number, you can generate an error message text.If an error occurs, the function returns a logical or numerical value.
Syntax
ERRORTYPE(Reference)
Syntax Description
Reference: the address of the cell in which the error occurs.
Number: the value of the function.
Lambda: the parameter value.
C: a logical value that determines the form of the function. C = 0 calculates the density function, and C = 1 calculates the distribution.
The result is the factorial of the number with increments of 2.
Syntax
FACTDOUBLE(Number)
Syntax Description
Number: if the number is even, the following factorial is calculated: n*(N-2)*(n-4)*...*4*2.If the number is uneven, the following factorial is calculated: n*(N-2)*(n-4)*...*3*1.
Number: the value for which the F distribution is to be calculated.
degrees_freedom_1: is the degrees of freedom in the numerator in the F distribution.
degrees_freedom_2: is the degrees of freedom in the denominator in the F distribution.
Looks for a string of text within another string. You can also define where to begin the search. The search term can be a number or any string of characters. The search is case-sensitive.
Syntax
FIND(find_text; text; position)
Syntax Description
find_text: refers to the text to be found.
text: the text where the search takes place.
position: (optional) the position in the text from which the search starts.
Returns the inverse of the F probability distribution. The F distribution is used for F tests in order to set the relation between two differing data sets.
Number: probability value for which the inverse F distribution is to be calculated.
degrees_freedom_1: the number of degrees of freedom in the numerator of the F distribution.
degrees_freedom_2: the number of degrees of freedom in the denominator of the F distribution.
Specifies that a number be displayed with a fixed number of decimal places and with or without a thousands separator. This function can be used to apply a uniform format to a column of numbers.
Syntax
FIXED(Number; decimals; no thousands separators)
Syntax Description
Number: the number to be formatted.
Decimals: the number of decimal places to be displayed.
No thousands separators: (optional) determines whether the thousands separator is used. If the parameter is a number not equal to 0, the thousands separator is suppressed. If the parameter is equal to 0 or if it is missing altogether, the thousands separators of your current locale setting are displayed.
Rounds a number down to the nearest multiple of significance.
Syntax
FLOOR(Number; Significance; Mode)
Syntax Description
Number: the number that is to be rounded down.
Significance: the value to whose multiple the number is to be rounded down.
Mode: (optional) If it is indicated and is not equal to zero, if the number and increment are negative, rounding up is carried out based on that value.
Extrapolates future values based on existing x and y values.
Syntax
FORECAST(Value; data_Y; data_X)
Syntax Description
Value: the x value, for which the y value on the linear regression is to be returned.
Data_Y: the array or range of known y's.
Data_X: is the array or range of known x's.
Displays the formula of a formula cell at any position. The formula will be returned as a string in the Reference position. If no formula cell can be found,or if the presented argument is not a reference, the error value #N/A is set.
Returns the future value of an investment based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate (Future Value).
Syntax
FV(Rate; NPER; PMT; PV; Type)
Syntax Description
Rate: the periodic interest rate.
NPER: the total number of periods (payment period).
PMT: the annuity paid regularly per period.
PV (optional): the (present) cash value of an investment.
Type (optional): defines whether the payment is due at the beginning or the end of a period.
Parameters marked as "optional" can be left out only when no parameter follows. For example, in a function with four parameters, where the last two parameters are marked as "optional", you can leave out parameter 4 or parameters 3 and 4, but you cannot leave out parameter 3 alone.
Number: the value for which the Gamma distribution is to be calculated.
Alpha: the parameter Alpha of the Gamma distribution.
Beta: the parameter Beta of the Gamma distribution
C = 0 calculates the density function C = 1 the distribution.
Returns the inverse of the Gamma cumulative distribution. This function allows you to search for variables with different distribution.
Syntax
GAMMAINV(Number; Alpha; Beta)
Syntax Description
Number: the probability value for which the inverse Gamma distribution is to be calculated.
Alpha: the parameter Alpha of the Gamma distribution.
Beta: the parameter Beta of the Gamma distribution.
The result is the greatest common divisor of a list of numbers.The functions whose names end with _ADD return the same results as the corresponding Microsoft Excel functions. Use the functions without _ADD to get results based on international standards. For example, the WEEKNUM function calculates the week number of a given date based on international standard ISO 6801, while WEEKNUM_ADD returns the same week number as Microsoft Excel.
The result is the binary number for the hexadecimal number entered.
Syntax
HEX2BIN(Number;Places)
Syntax Description
Number: the hexadecimal number. The number can have a maximum of 10 places. The most significant bit is the sign bit, the following bits return the value. Negative numbers are entered as two's complement.
Places: the number of places to be output.
