Excel Finance Trick 14: NPV function Capital Invest Decision

I need to write an Excel function that returns best price of a government bond.

The actual handwritten formula is quite complicated, impossible to display
here, and the input values for this formula are-----------------
Accrued days, Number of coupon period days, Days from settlement to next
coupon date, coupon periods per year, number coupon periods between
settlement & redemption, annual yield, discount rate.

Work four summers, starting at age 16

Save the income in a Roth IRA account

Invest it in a simple, low-cost equity portfolio

Simmer slowly for 47 years

Serve ungarnished (and untaxed) at age 67

If your money is invested in common stocks and you achieve the average
compound annual rate on large-capitalization U.S. stocks, 10.7%, your
account will grow to $9,378 at the end of the fourth year. You will be
20 years old. Invested in the same way, with no additional savings, the
account will grow to:
$25,917 by the time you are 30

$71,625 by the time you are 40

$197,943 by the time you are 50

$547,037 by the time you are 60

And $1,114,423 by the time you are 67

is there a function that will give me this answer without using
multiple rows and columns to calculate this.

Hey everyone I am new to programing in Excel and I do not know enough to wright a function that finds variance of a portfolio. This is what i have so far its messy and does not work.

Function VARPORT(Sa,Wa,Sb,Wb,Sc,Wc,Sd,Wd,Se,We)

va=VAR(Sa)
vb=VAR(Sb)
vc=VAR(Sc)
vd=VAR(Sd)
ve=VAR(Se)


cab=Covar(va,vb)
cac=Covar(va,vc)
cad=Covar(va,vd)
cae=Covar(va,ve)
cbc=Covar(vb,vc)
cbd=Covar(vb,vd)
cbe=Covar(vb,ve)
ccd=Covar(vc,vd)
cce=Covar(vc,ve)
cde=Covar(vd,ve)

VAPORT=((Wa^2)*va)+((Wb^2)*vb)+((Wc^2)*vc)+((Wd^2)*vd)+((We^2)*ve)+(2*Wa*Wb*cab)+(2*Wa*Wc*cac)+(2*Wa *Wd*cad)+(2*Wa*We*cae)+(2*Wb*Wc*cbc)+(2*Wb*Wd*cbd)+(2*Wb*We*cbe)+(2*Wc*Wd*ccd)+(2*Wc*We*cce)+(2*Wd*W e*cde)
End Function

The S stands for a list of stock returns.
The W is what percentage of the portfolio is spent on that stock.
The Covar and Var functions are to calculate the variance of each stock and the covariance between the five.
The three letters are C for covariance and then what stock will be looked at.

This is very confusing to me and I know I just made a big mess, can anyone help or point me int he right direction.

hello all,
i have a decision tree with several branches. There are 4 major decision points (A, B, C, and D) and at each decision point, there are 2 or more possible outcomes that finally lead to 2 possible outcomes (Yes, No).

Each branch has a probability of occurrence of course...and i wanted to know the best way to do a model of this (Monte Carlo sim.?) using excel.

Any suggestions/thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am having some problems in the area of decision making using excel, it is used in business terms, if I send a file can anyone help on it

Hi Everyone
I'm trying to find an Excel sheet for decision making.
Is there someboddy who's got an model ?
Or any Informations about the topic ? (will be wellcome)
Thanx to help me
cordially
Jimy

hello all, i`ve been trying to make a decision tree using excel, the problem
i encounter is that i wish to put information in to b11 which is related to
information in b3, the information in b3 is ether 0 or err and is based on a
"y" or "n" being entered, does anyone know which formula to use which will
print a true of false statement in b11

A coworker unknowingly brought up a long festering issue I've had with Excel in attempting to create a formula using IF and OR that will accomplish the same thing as a VBA script ON CASE loop.

The problem is this: The active cell evaluates the contents of another cell and based upon one of three options, applies a formula that is written in one of three other contiguous cells elsewhere where each of the cell formulas incorporate a value appearing in another cell.

For example, the options are Item, Expense and Hour that will appear in cell D3. The cell containing the decision/pseudo-ON CASE formula is F3. The three different formulas are written in cells AA1, AA2 and AA3 and the formula calculation parameter resides in A3.

Cell F3 evaluates the contents of D3, containing either Item, Expense or Hour. If the content in F3 is Item, then D3 returns a value using the contents of cell A3 applied to a formula in AA1; if the content in F3 is Expense, D3 returns a value using A3 applied to the formula written in AA2; if F3 contains Hour, D3 returns a value using the content of A3 applied to the formula in AA3.

In VBA or even just old BASIC, one could use an ON CASE loop.

Anyone know how to write the IF OR formula that would reside in D3?

Feel free to respond directly to my e-mail, jwdickinson@att.net.


Thanks,

Good morning,

trying to find out what to do with my spreadsheet and the formulas in it.

If you look into the file 369. I can get to the stage where it outlines the mismatch figure. In the example it is 6 Mismatches.

But I cannot seem to get the table belwo right. Everytime I try and copy past the formula, the first set of data is the one from the first line and then I get a #NUM error, due to the fact that there seems to be a number reoccurence somewhere.

I took the youtube tutorial, but even copying that formula did not work.

My table consist of 2 sets of 600 values each.

Can someone tell me why I am getting this error and help me resolve the issue that the result is an existing set of data?

THANK YOU

hi i have writtern the following in a comman button

sub trythis()
dim x as range
set x = range("b1:b20")
for each x in x
if x.text = "June" then
x.copy
end if
next x
end sub

I have in the range names of the month repeated randomly. June appears 6 times in the list

By executing the above code the last cell containing "June" gets into copy mode (the cell is filled with marchings ants effect). Although the loop goes through many cells containing "June" only the last cell containing "June" shows this effect, how extend this effect to all the cells containing the text "June".
