Return Value
The RECEIVED function returns a numeric value.
Errors
1. If the argument settlement and maturity are not the valid dates, such as are the non-numeric value, the dates that are earlier than 1/1/1900, the function will return to an error value #VALUE!.
2. If the argument basis is out of range (0-4), the function will return to an error value #NUM!.
3. If the argument investment <= 0, or discount <= 0, RECEIVED function will return to an error value #NUM!.
4. If the argument settlement > maturity, RECEIVED function will return to an error value #NUM!.
Remarks
1. In Excel, dates are stored as serial numbers. Default, Excel is the 1/1/1900 system which means that 1/1/1900 is the first valid day in Excel and stored as number 1 in Excel. So 1/1/2021 is stored as number 44197.
2. All arguments are truncated to integers, if the arguments including time, the time will be ignored.
3. You should better use date with a cell reference or you can directly use DATE function embedded in the RECEIVED function as this:
=RECEIVED(DATE(2022,1,1),DATE(2028,3,20),100000,0.045)
