Things to be Remember while using Excel Price Function

  • For Calculation purposes, the Date format in Excel is sequential. So By default, Value 1 stands for 1st January 1900, so the next day, i.e., 2nd January 1900, would be 2
  • All the Data parameters used as Settlement, maturity, frequency, and basis value should be integers.
  • If maturity or the settlement day is not a valid date, then the formula PRICE returns the #VALUE! error value.
  • If yld < 0 or if rate < 0 or redemption ≤ 0 PRICE returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If the frequency mentioned in the price formula is any other value apart from 1, 2, or 4, PRICE will return the #NUM! error value as an answer.
  • If basis < 0 or if basis > 4, PRICE returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If settlement value ≥ maturity value, then PRICE returns will return #NUM! error value.
