Suppose you are considering the purchase of a hypothetical security. The purchase will settle on 2 April 2010 (settle), the security matures on 31 December 2015 (maturity), and pays interest quarterly (frequency) on an actual calendar days basis (days-basis). =COUPDAYSNC("2/4/2010", "31/12/2015", 4 ,1) returns 89, because there are 89 days between the settlement date of 2 April 2010 and the next coupon payment date of 30 June 2010. |
