Excel Finance Trick #3: PMT function Lender or Borrower

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.

This is somewhat of a financial question:

Is there a formula that will calculate the amortization on a loan from a lender/investment perspective. For example if a $100 loan was purchased as an investment for $50, the accounting treatment calls for the difference to be amortized via effective interest method. This ordinarily would require a table be maintained, accounting for the non-linear cash inflow and amounts that will drawdown on the carry amount, which will determine the current period amortization.

Is there a formula that I can develop which will replace a table and give me the result of the current period amortization based on the carry amount?

Thanks,

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.

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".

I am following this tutorial from youtube. It is a search function to search for a specefic word in an entire row. Here is the first part of the code:

Code:

=SEARCH(C$3,Table2[[#This Row],[DESCRIPTION]])

except i only get a value in the cell that i typed this in, instead of it searching the rest of the row like in the tutorial. i can't figure out how to fix this. anyone know what im doing wrong?

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

When you are making a formula say

=A5 + A6+A7

when you are doing this in cell D423, it sometimes gets annoying to have to either type in A6 and A7 manually or to navigate to A6 and A7.

I know there is a key you can hold down after doing A5 that keeps you on A5 even after putting in the + sign, so that you don't have to navigate all the way back there.

I can't figure it out!

Does anyone know what this is?

Please help!!

Thanks,

Hello there.
First, and before all, I must admit that I am a kind a "dumb" for Excel, because I always were using it, only for better look's of simple tables, schedule's and similar. Although, I was all the time aware of great power's of this program, but newer tested it.
So, finally after few years of tempting, I decided to make a proper "order-list" for the shop in which I work. What I needed is to ,based on products and their prices, make a drop-down box, with list of the products, and after choosing one , proper price will be shown in next column. I find out how to do it with "Excel magic trick #5" on Youtube.
This is what i achieved:

http://i49.tinypic.com/dorzgn.jpg

However,
You see that in row 16, or line 2 in the order box ,we have #N/A below Cena (Price), Iznos PDV (amount of VAT), Cena sa PDV (Amount with VAT), and Iznos (Total amount). If we choose one of the product from drop-down box (now, as You can see none is chosen) and type number in Kolicina(Quantity) column, all this would be automatically changed into proper value.
But what if we have only one thing in order box, instead of 2 or all of 10 ? How to avoid those #N/A, and make instead to be blank cell, which is to be counted as 0, because of final calculation?

In this order-form we have only line 1 and 2 programed to have drop-down box in line Naziv robe (Name of the product). If I putted same drop-down boxes in rest 8 columns, #N/A would be shown in all programed cells bellow, like in line 2...

Kind regards from Serbia

Hello,

I am constructing a make-shift database in excel but can't seem to find a way to get magic trick #213 to work.

What I am trying to do is create a dynamic filter via 16 criteria. I would like any results that match all criteria that I specify and then displays results in a separate table to the right.

Thank you so much for your help - I would attach my spreadsheet to this message if I knew how.

BR,
