Description Unknown 2002-11-17 19:40:20 UTC 
There is an inconsistency in the online help. The title for the IPMT section
reads "PPMT".
Comment 1 rialnis 2002-12-09 01:12:27 UTC 
Please could you provide a step by step description of how to get to
the IMPT section in the help file that you describe so that I can
confirm please.  I've tried the index and find sections but IMPT
brings back no results.
Comment 2 Unknown 2002-12-09 14:22:09 UTC 
Search for "IPMT" (you have mispelled it in your comment). Then select
Financial functions part three. It is in there, but the title says PPMT.

The example says "IPMT", but the title, and a lot of the text is wrong.

IPMT is payment on interest, PPMT is payment on principal.

Thank you for the steps - found it very quickly thank you.

I can confirm this issue for the following:

Win98: Build 643

FPE->UFI: Pls check
Comment 5 Uwe Fischer 2003-03-17 10:54:12 UTC 
changed the descriptions of PPMT in scalc/01/04060119 and IPMT in
scalc/01/04060118. They were exchanged by error because the english
translators had mixed up the german KAPZ and ZINSZ text.
