NOMINAL

Converts an effective annual rate into a nominal annual rate.

Summary

This is the inverse-style transformation of EFFECT for a chosen compounding frequency.

Remarks

  • effect_rate is annual effective yield; npery is periods per year.
  • npery is truncated to an integer before computation.
  • Sign convention is not cash-flow based; this function converts annual rate representation.
  • Returns #NUM! when effect_rate <= 0 or npery < 1.
  • Result formula: npery * ((1 + effect_rate)^(1/npery) - 1).

FAQ

Is NOMINAL an exact inverse of EFFECT?

It is the corresponding transformation for the same integer npery; both functions require positive rates and npery >= 1.
