PMT supported function in TM1 web

Hi all,

I am using TM1 v10.1 and excel 2007.

In the cognos TM1 Developer Guide\Supported Excel Functions - TM1 Web - Finance Functions: it states that the PMT function is supported. However it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I have created a TM1 worksheet containing the following:

Loan Value
Loan Rate
Loan Term
Monthly payment

I have hard coded values against the first three and put the following formula against Monthly payment:

Code: Select all

=PMT(G8,G9,G7)
. In excel it displays the corrcet result.

However, when viewed in TM1 Web the Monthly payment calculation = #ERR!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

I'm not sure what PAYMT is - is it an excel function or TM1 function? I can't find it in either. PMT calcuates the monthly payment on a loan...

From the reference documentation
This is a TM1® rules function, valid in both TM1 rules and TurboIntegrator processes.

PAYMT returns the payment amount of an annuity based on a given initial value or principal, an interest rate, and a number of periods. An annuity is a series of payments made at equal intervals of time.

Syntax
PAYMT(principal, interest, periods)
Not sure if this is the function you were looking for

Anthony,

Apologies I was searching for PAMT in the devleopers guide when I said that I couldn't find it. I've had a read and it looks like this may be able to help me, so many thanks. Still not sure why PMT doesn't work but I have logged this with IBM.

Thanks again.
