The functions are organized along the same lines as EXCEL, so there are financial functions, engineering fucntions, statistical functions, math functions, etc. They all work exactly the same as EXCEL (and in some instances are less restrictive than EXCEL) and can be used like any user-defined function in SQL Serverflockenatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257946420572511664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667220180824072004.post-75872137695367283932009-03-11T14:40:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:40:00.000-07:00Piyush,You are correct, the CAGR formula you descr...Piyush,<BR/><BR/>You are correct, the CAGR formula you describe is correct for determining rates of return with no payment stream. For payment streams, it is necessary to use the basic DCF techniques implied by the Rate function.<BR/><BR/>MicahMicah Minarikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534860732247959746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667220180824072004.post-84012759717887415412009-01-23T08:11:00.000-08:002009-01-23T08:11:00.000-08:00I was looking for this function and got your site....I was looking for this function and got your site. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly the CAGR() formula using wikipedia gives the exact value as the Rate() function in Excel.

You may be able to infer the payment based on the delta and periods and then plug them into the function.<BR/><BR/>We actually use this function to calculate yield to maturities on loans. The only drawback is the bullet (full par repayment at maturity) assumption which will lose you principal/discount amortization in the calculation.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if that works.<BR/><BR/>MicahMicah Minarikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534860732247959746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667220180824072004.post-73409545838324636032008-11-26T15:10:00.000-08:002008-11-26T15:10:00.000-08:00Hey, what if I want to calculate an interest rate ...Hey, what if I want to calculate an interest rate on a loan?
