Examples of Using the COUPPCD Function

Example 1: Calculating the Days to Next Coupon Payment

Suppose you have the following data:

- Settlement date: January 1st, 2022

- Maturity date: January 1st, 2025

- Frequency: 2

- Basis: 0

To calculate the number of days to the next coupon payment, you can use the following formula:


COUPPCD(“01/01/2022”, “01/01/2025”, 2, 0)


The result is 182, which means there are 182 days between January 1st, 2022 and the next coupon payment date.

Example 2: Using Cell References

Suppose you have the following data:

- Settlement date: A1

- Maturity date: A2

- Frequency: A3

- Basis: A4

To calculate the number of days to the next coupon payment, you can use the following formula:


COUPPCD(A1, A2, A3, A4)


Assuming that the values in A1 to A4 are valid dates and numbers, this formula will calculate the result.

The COUPPCD function is a useful DAX function in Power BI for calculating the number of days between the settlement date and the next coupon payment date of a bond or a security. By following the steps and examples provided in this article, you can easily use the COUPPCD function in your financial analysis.
