handles N/A
values as follows:- If
cpn
,mat
, orprice
are N/A, the result is N/A. - If
dcb
is N/A, actual/actual is used. - If
freq
is N/A, it is assumed to be 2 (semiannual). - If
issu
is N/A, it is assumed to be 30 years prior to maturity. - If
first
is N/A, it is assumed to be the first date after issue that is an integral number of payment periods from maturity.
