<h1>YEARFRAC Function</h1>
<p>The <b>YEARFRAC</b> function is one of the date and time functions. It is used to return the fraction of a year represented by the number of whole days from start-date to end-date calculated on the specified basis.</p>
<p>The <b>YEARFRAC</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>YEARFRAC(start-date, end-date [,basis])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>start-date</em></b> is a number representing the first date of the period, entered using the <a href="Date.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">Date</a> function or other date and time function.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>end-date</em></b> is a number representing the last date of the period, entered using the <a href="Date.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">Date</a> function or other date and time function.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>basis</em></b> is the day count basis to use, a numeric value greater than or equal to 0, but less than or equal to 4. It can be one of the following:</p>
<table style="width: 40%">
<tr>
<td><b>Numeric value</b></td>
<td><b>Count basis</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>US (NASD) 30/360</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Actual/actual</td>
</tr>

<td>Actual/360</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>Actual/365</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>European 30/360</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: if the <b><em>start-date</em></b>, <b><em>end-date</em></b> or <b><em>basis</em></b> is a decimal value, the function will ignore the numbers to the right of the decimal point.
