• Dates are stored as sequential serial numbers so they can be used in calculations. In DAX, December 30, 1899 is day 0, and January 1, 2008 is 39448 because it is 39,448 days after December 30, 1899.

• period and basis are rounded to the nearest integer.

• An error is returned if:

  • cost < 0.
  • first_period or date_purchased is not a valid date.
  • date_purchased > first_period.
  • salvage < 0 or salvage > cost.
  • period < 0.
  • rate ≤ 0.
  • basis is any number other than 0, 1, 3, or 4.
