Syntax

TBILLPRICE(settlement, maturity, discount)

• settlement - The settlement date of the security, the date after issuance when the security is delivered to the buyer.

• maturity - The maturity or end date of the security, when it can be redeemed at face or par value.

• discount - The discount rate of the bill at time of purchase.

Notes

• settlement and maturity should be entered using DATE, TO_DATE or other date parsing functions rather than by entering text.

• TBILLPRICE is equivalent to using PRICEDISC with US Treasury Bill conventions for the absent parameters.

• maturity must be one year or less from the settlement date.

• discount is a percentage and must be entered as a positive number from zero to one.
