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

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