    • frequency = 3, if paid quarterly.
  • basis (optional): The type of day count basis to use when calculating interest for the security (default = 0):

Function Notes

  • COUPPCD will return the #VALUE! error if:
    • settlement or maturity is not a valid date;
    • frequency or basis is not a numeric value.
  • COUPPCD will return the #NUM! error if:
    • frequency is not the number 1, 2, or 4;
    • basis < 0 or basis > 4;
    • settlement ≥ maturity.
  • All arguments are truncated to integers.

Example

To get the previous coupon date before the settlement date for a bond with the terms below, please copy or enter the formula below in a blank cell, and press Enter to get the result:

=COUPPCD(DATE(2021,5,1),DATE(2024,12,15),2,0)

Or, use cell references to make the formula dynamic:

=COUPPCD(C3,C4,C5,C6)

couppcd function 2

As you can see, the function returns a numeric value, which can be converted into a date format. Since in Excel, dates are stored as sequential numbers. By default, 1/1/1900 is serial number 1, because it is 1 day after 1/0/1900. To make the results show properly in date format, you should apply the Format Cells feature:

Select the cells where you want to apply the date format, then press Ctrl + 1. Under the tab Number in the pop-up Format Cells dialog as shown below, choose Date, and pick the type you need in the right Type section:

couppcd function 3

After you click OK, you will see the number is converted to a date.
