The operator '!=' compares two values and returns the boolean value TRUE if the left value is not equal to the right value and FALSE otherwise.

Syntax

Code Block
 value1 != value2
  • value1 - Number, date or attribute of some type of number or date.
  • value2 - Number, date or attribute of some type of number or date.

Return type

  • boolean

Examples

  • 1 != 2 returns TRUE
  • 1.0 != 1.0 returns FALSE
  • DATE(2012,1,1) != TODAY returns TRUE
  • 5 + 5 != 10 returns FALSE

ANNUITY

This function is able to directly compute an annuity for you. An annuity is a terminating "stream" of fixed payments, i.e., a collection of payments to be periodically received over a specified period of time.

It is computed using this formula:

where

  • J = monthly payment
  • i = rate of interest
  • n = number of terms
  • T = loan amount

Syntax

Code Block
 ANNUITY( [currency], [percentage], [integer])
  • currency - The total amount that should be payed back.
  • percentage - The percentage that should be paid on a loan (As a fraction, e.g. 5% = 0.05)
  • integer - The amount of terms.

Return type

  • number - The monthly payment.

Examples

  • ANNUITY(1000, 0.05, 12) = 112.8254
  • ANNUITY(1000, 0.05, 1) = 1050
