ODDFYIELD Function Explained
The ODDFYIELD Function in Microsoft Excel calculates the odd yield of a security with an odd first period. It takes three arguments: settlement, maturity, and issue. The settlement argument is the security’s settlement date, the maturity argument is the security’s maturity date, and the issue argument is the security’s issue date. The function returns the odd yield of the security.
