Is there a similar function to PMT? =PMT(rate, period, pv, fv) etc? Have not been able to find one. Thank you.
Hi David—
There isn't a similar function to PMT in Smartsheet.
You may need to consider storing the values (rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type]) in specific cells and then manually calculate with a formula.
This is equation with 4 columns (ignoring two optional args in PMT)
=(Pv@row * R@row / IntPer@row) / (1 - (1 + R@row / IntPer@row) ^ (-n@row * IntPer@row))
R = APR %
Pv = present value
IntPer = interest periods per year
n = term in years

Hi All,
I have the same requirement to re create the excel formula "PMT". The above formula does not include the future value and type aspects.
Also the Amortisation Template in SS doesn't line up with the required calculations either.
Trying to build a quote calculator for our customers to use.
The file attached shows the working out of the Excel formula.
Excel formula =PMT(rate,nper,PV,[FV],[Type])
The PMT function syntax has the following arguments:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
This has ALREADY been solved by Mr Williams above but thought this might be useful for someone else to visualise it...
Using the above I initially created helper columns named the same as the references in the formula
Then realised what it was doing and made the following formula from the entries in a single column called "Loan Values":
=ROUNDUP(SUM(($[Loan Values]$4 * [Loan Values]2 / 12) / (1 - (1 + [Loan Values]2 / 12) ^ (-$[Loan Values]$3 * 12))), 2)
(Works with or without absolute references "$". The Yellow cells are my User Entry variables. Work in progress)
The "12" is the number of months in a year just in case that wasn't clear.
Also, I used another one of Mr Williams' tips from another thread for the Date. Using a Date column type on the far left, I then used:
=([Start Date]@row + "")
This displays the "date" as plain text in my loan values column. The end date is then worked out automatically using this formula:
=([Start Date]7 + SUM([Loan Values]3 * 365) + "")
Why? because when I create a report for display on dashboards I will exclude the Date Column for a neater look.
ROUNDUP to 2 places is also used BUT not needed really.
The layout is inspired by a free Microsoft template
Nice work @ON_Again

I don't suppose you happen to have a Smartsheet solution set up for present value (PV). I'm looking at this excel explanation and am at a loss of how to recreate it in Smartsheet.
Thanks,
Is there an easy way to quickly drag down the same cell values to 1,000+ cells? Important: I have the sheet filtered, as I only want this to be copied to specific rows. I have over 1,300 rows on the sheet, so I can't just use the column formula functionality. I was hoping I could just double click the bottom right corner…
Hi everyone, hoping for a little help here, I recently did a survey of 240 employees with 9 yes or no questions. I am hoping to create either a linebar or stacked linebar graph showing the 9 questions in a single chart with the question being on the left axis. When I try to do a report to create this graph, Im unable to…
I have given someone access as an Admin to allow them to create new sheets and edit existing and they keep being told they do not have access to edit. What could be causing this?
