This function returns a #VALUE! error when settle, maturity, or last is invalid. Settle, maturity, last, and basis are truncated to integers. If rate is less than 0 or price is less than or equal to 0, a #NUM! error is returned. If basis is less than 0 or greater than 4, a #NUM! error is returned. Maturity should be greater than settle which should be greater than last. Otherwise a #NUM! error is returned.
