How to Use the Power BI DAX function COUPDAYSNC

COUPDAYSNC is a DAX function that calculates the number of days between the settlement date and the next coupon payment date, based on the number of coupon payments per year. In this article, we will explore how to use the COUPDAYSNC function in Power BI, step by step.

Syntax of COUPDAYSNC Function

The syntax of the COUPDAYSNC function is as follows:


COUPDAYSNC(settlement, maturity, frequency, [basis])


where:

- `settlement` is the settlement date of the security.

- `maturity` is the maturity date of the security.

- `frequency` is the number of coupon payments per year.

- `basis` (optional) is the day count basis to use. If omitted, the default value is 0.

Example of COUPDAYSNC Function

Let's look at an example of how to use the COUPDAYSNC function in Power BI.

Suppose we have the following data:

- Settlement date: 1/1/2022

- Maturity date: 12/31/2027

- Frequency: 2

To calculate the number of days between the settlement date and the next coupon payment date, we can use the following DAX formula:


COUPDAYSNC(“1/1/2022”, “12/31/2027”, 2)


The result will be 181, which means that the next coupon payment date is 181 days after the settlement date.
