Loan database - Interest period
Hi all
I am creating an interest calculator report for our finance folks. I have a duration field to count the number of days between key dates for interest calculations but am running into 2 challenges:
- The number of days between dates comes back as duration (# of days) and not a numeric value. I need it as a numeric value to complete interest calculations.
- There are hundreds of loans and we need to be able to fill in the date interest is applied for all of them at once for the calculation. Ideas or is grid edit the best option?
Thanks!
Jesse
If you have a field called [# of days]
which is a formula numeric field type, you can use
ToDays([End Date] - [Start Date])
Yes, probably grid edit is the best idea. The alternative would be to export the data to excel, including the key field, which is probably the record ID field, somehow fill in the dates in excel and then import that one field and the record ID back into your database.
