Date and Time Function Arguments
Basis The type of day count basis to use: 0 or omitted = US(NASD) 30/360
(For Securities Functions) 1 = Actual / Actual 2 = Actual / 360
3 = Actual / 365 4 = European 30/360
Date_text A date enclosed in quotation marks that is in a date text form acceptable to Excel. Note that acceptable date
forms vary with system and Excel settings.
Day A number representing the day of the month. If day is greater than the number of days in the month specified,
day aggregates the month and year arguments appropriately and day represents the balance after this
aggregation
Days The number of nonweekend and nonholiday days before or after start_date. A positive value for days yields a
future date; a negative value yields a past date
End_date The last date as an acceptable date in inverted commas or as a serial number
Holidays An optional range of one or more dates to exclude from the working calendar. The list can be either a range
of cells that contains the dates or an array constant of the serial numbers that represent the dates
Hour A number from 0 to 32767 representing the hour. Any value greater than 23 will be divided by 24 and the
remainder will be treated as the hour value
Method FALSE or omitted = US (NASD) 30/360 method; TRUE = European 30/360 method
Minute A number from 0 to 32767 representing the minute. Any value greater than 59 will be converted to hours and
minutes
Month A number representing the month of the year. If month is greater than 12, month adds that number of months
(For DATE function) to the first month in the year specified
Months The number of months before or after start_date
Return_type A number that determines the type of return value: 1 (or omitted) 1 = Sunday; 2 = 1 = Monday; 3 = 0 =
(WEEKDAY only) Monday
Return_type A number that determines on which day the week begins; 1 (or omitted) = starts Sunday nums 1 to 7; 2 =
(WEEKNUM only) starts Monday nums 1 to 7
Second A number from 0 to 32767 representing the second. Any value greater than 59 will be converted to hours,
minutes, and seconds
Serial_num A date / time serial number. Dates should be entered by using the DATE function, or as results of other
formulas or functions
Serial_Number An Excel date / time serial number. Dates should be entered by using the DATE function, or as results of
other formulas or functions. The Excel date serial number varies according to setting of 1900 or 1904 date
system in Tools > Options > Calculation.
Start_date The first date as an acceptable date in inverted commas or as a serial number
Time_text A text string enclosed in quotation marks that represents a time in any one of the Excel time formats
Unit "y" = years; "m" = months; "d" = days; "md" = days ignoring months and years; "ym" = years and months; "yd"
= years and days

Value A value or an expression that evaluates to a value
Value_If_False The value that is returned if logical_test is FALSE
Value_If_True The value that is returned if logical_test is TRUE
Values An array or a reference to cells that contain numbers
Values (IRR and MIRR) An array or a reference to cells that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of
return. Values must contain at least one positive value and one negative value to calculate the internal rate of
return. If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are
ignored.
Values (XIRR and XNPV) A series of cash flows that corresponds to a schedule of payments in dates. The first payment is optional and
corresponds to a cost or payment that occurs at the beginning of the investment. If the first value is a cost or
payment, it must be a negative value. All succeeding payments are discounted based on a 365-day year. The
series of values must contain at least one positive value and one negative value
Width The width, in number of columns, that you want the returned reference to be. Width must be a positive
number
Within_Text The text containing the text you want to find
x_Num The x-coordinate of the point
X_range The range of numeric values of x with which there are associated probabilities
y_Num The y-coordinate of the point
Year The year number as one to four digits
Yld The security's annual yield
Z The value for which you want the distribution
