Need Help With Bond Yields - Excel |
|
The first has to do with the how you write the formula or input the data. My traders use the following format:
yield(trade price, redemption price, rate, 2, settlement date, redemption date, "MUNI")
If you use insert function in Excel, the format is:
yield(settlement date, redemption date, rate, trade price, redemption price, 2)
If one of my traders sends me a spreadsheet using the first format/formula, it will properly calculate on my PC. But if I try to edit the formula in any way or replicate it on my own, Excel returns #NUM! We all appear to be using the same add-ins (I have the bond add-in installed).
The other problem is that if I use the second format, the one built into Excel, it returns the wrong yield. The first format of course returns the correct yield. How do I know it is wrong? If I check the yield using a financial calculator or a Bloomberg terminal it matches what the first formula returns.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Cells accept hours over 23,
Adding cells in column returns correct total time.
Have not found a way to multiply these cells by a $ hourly rate.
So use HOUR(cell ref) and MINUTE(cell ref) to capture values in referenced
cell - then use these values to calculate total payment for $rate per hour.
However, the HOUR(cell ref) formula returns the hours in excess of 24 when
the cell contains an hour value in excess of 23 (ie 27 hours returns 3).
I have formulas to add a number of days to a cell containing an entered date and display the resulting new date (ie. 03/01/2011 (c34)+11 = 03/12/2011)
I am seeking to leave resulting formula cell blank until a date is entered in the input cell. Currently when the input cell is empty the formula cell obviously displays 1/11/1900 using the above example.
What conditional format would achieve leaving the formula cell blank until date data in entered into the source cell?
Hopefully a simpler question for your experience level than mine.
On excel, if I divide 462,534.05 by 335 I get 1,380.70. Then if I times 1,380.70 by 335 I get the SAME result of 462,534.05.
I have to account for the difference of not dividing equally so there is some format or accounting function that's preset that I don't want but I have no idea how to fix it or format my excel sheet to calculate as my calculator would.
Please can someone help? Thanks!
Does anyone know a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
I've been struggling with this for a while now and can't believe how hard it is!. I've searched on this site and on others to get some clarification but to no avail.
It's pretty simple really. I have a user form which contains a tex box for a user to input the date I want the format to be dd/mm/yyyy but can't find out how to set the format of the text box to this.
Please can someone give me a bit of guidence or link me to a good rescource if missed it in the search.
Thanks in advance.

The following can be used to simulate the same, and avoid having to achieve the same with VBA's IsDate function:
STEPS:
1- Format the column (ex A) as text
2- Formula to check for valid dates:
=ISERROR(DATEVALUE(A1))
A B
312 $1000
54 $1010
35 $1835
32 $1028
53 $1937
Many Thanks

Can somebody help me, i'm new to excel!
date range that was provided, and to return Early, Late or Ok accordingly.
But I do not want to insert any sheet for different dates & also the format will not be copied & paste in the same sheet. Just at the place of Date the date will be changed & the datas will be entered manually for each day.
In future, when I shall put the date, the datas will show that particular date's datas only.
Can anyone help me ?
The Geomean function doesn't work because it only uses positive numbers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the following in G2:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:D,4,FALSE)
The formula returns the correct result, which in this case is a number - 2
When I fill down my range, the formula copies correctly, but every result is the same. 2.
However, if I go to the next cell down (G3) and activate it by pressing F2, and then hit Enter, the result changes and is now correct.
Any ideas whats going wrong?
I'm not sure how to do this, but I want the Total (column D) to be the sum of the Unit Price (column C) times the Quantity (column A). Is there a formula you can apply to a column or do I have to do it in individaul cells?
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=Range("H10").Value & Format(Date, "mmdd")
This saves it as the correct cell value + the date, but it saves it to my documents. I need it to save to a shared folder on a network drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We will be building 8 "widgets" a day.
We will work 10 hours a day.
There is a 20 minute break at 9:20 am.
Production shuts down for lunch 30 minutes for lunch at 12:30.
Production starts at 6:00 am.
Here is what I can do.
Production cycle time = (10*60)-30/8 or 71.25 minutes
If we start at 6:00 am, the first scheduled cycle completion time = TIME(6,0,0+71.25/1440)
My problem is when I am trying to use a logical "IF' statement to account for the 20 minute break or lunch and still calculate the end of each cycle time through the day I receive a number of error messages.
This is the formula I am trying to make work. I have the cell the formula is in, formatted with a "mm,ss" format.
=(IF(D4+G1/1440>9:20,(D4+G1)/24,(D4+G1+15)/1440))
I have included an attachment to help (a picture is worth a thousand words).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have bought a number of books in an attempt to figure this out, and I am still stumped
I have 2 colombs of data.
AT the bottom of the first, I have created a drop down menu using the "data validation" feature in excel.
At the bottom of the second colomb, I have used an "IF" function that returns a result, which depends on what value is chosen from the drop down menu in colomb 1
The problem I have is that I want the TRUE result from the IF function to be another drop down menu, being the data in colomb 2.
How do you write an IF function where the TRUE result is a drop down menu??
I tried to create a drop down menu of colomb2 elsewhere in the spread sheet, and used that cells location as the TRUE value, but this didn't work either...
ANy suggestions??
the SUMIF function to sum only the cells in the range that are colored. Can
this be done? Can I enter something in the "criteria" part of the formula
that can do this?
=SUMIF(D3:D13,"criteria",D3:D13)
I also tried to use the CELL function's color feature, but I couldn't get it
to work right. I don't know how to get Excel to recognize if a cell is
colored in a formula.
=CELL("color",cell)
It might just be that I don't know what this means in Help:
"color" --> 1 if the cell is formatted in color for negative values;
otherwise returns 0 (zero).
Can anyone help?
For instance,
A B
1 $32.17 8/17/08
2 $43.20 9/12/09
If I go in and update cell A1 to $33.98 today I would like cell B1 to read 2/16/10. But I don't want cell B2 to change.
Thanks
