Remarks

  • 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.

  • TBILLEQ is calculated as:

    $$\text{TBILLEQ} = \frac{365 \times \text{discount}}{360 - (\text{discount} \times \text{DSM})}$$

    where:

    • $\text{DSM}$ is the number of days between settlement and maturity computed according to the 360 days per year basis.

  • settlement and maturity are truncated to integers.

  • An error is returned if:

    • settlement or maturity is not a valid date.
    • settlement ≥ maturity or maturity is more than one year after settlement.
    • discount ≤ 0.

  • This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.
