Modified Duration on 17bII+ Message #1 Posted by Patrick Landry on 10 Sept 2007, 6:25 p.m. Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could generate lines of coded needed to calculate the modified duration for a bond. I have tried and am not to familiar with all the many programming options available.

Before you start become used to using SPPV, USPV etc. to ease entry of the formulas & save space. Once we have a 17bII+ again which does fully support L() & G() functions, then you should look here!
