Description

YIELDMAT(settlement, maturity, issue, rate, price, basis)

• YIELDMAT is the percentage annual yield on security that pays interest at maturity.
• $settlement$, $maturity$ and $issue$ dates should be entered either in 'date format' or 'dates returned using formulas'. If dates are not valid, Calci displays #N/A error message.
• Dates should satisfy the following condition:- $maturity$ > $settlement$ > $issue$, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
• $rate$ value must be greater than or equal to zero, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
• $price$ value must be greater than zero, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
• $basis$ value is optional. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be 0.

Below table shows the use of $basis$ values:

Basis	Description
0	US (NASD) 30/360
1	Actual/actual
2	Actual/360
3	Actual/365
4	European 30/360

• If $basis$ value is other than 0 to 4, Calci displays #N/A error message.
