Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: Missing arguments, incorrect order, or an unclosed parenthesis can cause an error.
  • Environment limits: Argument values need to match the required date and numeric formats.

4. Check recalculated results after updating data

Entry point: Argument cells and result cell

  1. Change the settlement date, maturity date, or other related arguments.
  2. Check whether the result cell updates automatically.
  3. If the result looks incorrect, review the argument format and reference positions again.
  4. Save the spreadsheet when finished.

Success Criteria

  • UI state: The result updates when the source data changes.
  • Next actions: You can continue expanding the worksheet or copy the formula to other cells.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistakes: If a date is entered as text, the result may be incorrect.
