[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2222?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18302#action_18302 ] 

Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-2222:
-------------------------------------

See also previous comment. The "alternative" in the proposal was meant as "math formulas for integer periods" the alternative being "another algorithm for fractional periods". As we define the function for fractional periods we'll have to use the second algorithm which now doesn't have an alternative anymore, at least not one that we define..

From the Proposal field ignore the part between
The formula using integer periods ...
and
... hence the TODO in the draft.

> Broken out from OFFICE-916
> DDB lacks a mathematical formula.
> [ed.]
> It does not lack a formula (anymore?), but the current formula is incomplete.
> Constraints are not given.
> TODO: A different algorithm may be used that allows for non-integer periods. OOoCalc uses it, compare with Excel, Gnumeric and KSpread.
