✦ Tips
- Because of changes to the depreciation methodology of the French accounting system, this function is deprecated and should no longer be used. It is included for compatibility of old workbooks only.
- Dates should be entered by using the DATE function, or as results of other formulas or functions. For example, use DATE(2008,5,23) for the 23rd day of May, 2008. Problems can occur if dates are entered as text.
- Microsoft Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so they can be used in calculations. By default, January 1, 1900 is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after January 1, 1900.
- This function will return the depreciation until the last period of the life of the assets or until the cumulated value of depreciation is greater than the cost of the assets minus the salvage value.
- The depreciation coefficients are:
- The depreciation rate will grow to 50 percent for the period preceding the last period and will grow to 100 percent for the last period.
⚠ Common Errors
#NUM!
If the life of assets is between 0 (zero) and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 3, or 4 and 5, the #NUM! error value is returned.
