Description

MDURATION(SettlementDate, MaturityDate, Coupon, Yield, Frequency, Basis)

• MDURATION() or modified duration calculates the percentage derivative of price with respect to yield.
• Formula-

If dates are not valid, Calci displays #N/A error message.
• If Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle SettlementDate} date ≥ $MaturityDate$ date, Calci displays #N/A error message.

• The values for Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Frequency} should be 1,2 or 4.

For Annual payment, frequency = 1,

For Semi-annual payment, frequency = 2,

For Quarterly payment, frequency = 4.

• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Basis} value is optional. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be 0.

• If Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Basis} value is other than 0 to 4, Calci displays #N/A error message.

Examples

Consider the following example that shows the use of MDURATION function:

September 10, 2010
September 10, 2014
6%
9.0%
2
1

=MDURATION(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6) displays 3.8035273385670787 as a result.
=MDURATION(DATE(2013,6,1),DATE(2013,12,31),"8%","9%",1,1) displays 0.9174311926605504 as a result.
