        <para><function>DATEDIF</function> returns the distance from <parameter>start_date</parameter> to <parameter>end_date</parameter> according to the unit specified by <parameter>interval</parameter>.  This function exists primarly for compatibility reasons and the semantics is somewhat peculiar.  In particular, the concept of "whole month" is based on whether the ending day is larger than or equal to the beginning day and not on whether a whole calendar month in contained in the interval.  A similar treatment is given to "whole year".</para>

        <para>If <parameter>interval</parameter> is "y", "m", or "d" then the distance is measured in whole years, months, or days respectively. If <parameter>interval</parameter> is "ym" or "yd" then the distance is measured in whole months or days, respectively, but excluding any difference covered by whole years. If <parameter>interval</parameter> is "md" then the distance is measured in days but excluding any difference covered by whole months.</para>

        <para><function>AMORDEGRC</function> calculates the depreciation of an asset using French accounting conventions. Assets purchased in the middle of a period take prorated depreciation into account. This is similar to AMORLINC, except that a depreciation coefficient is applied in the calculation depending on the life of the assets.</para>
        <para>The depreciation coefficient used is:</para>
        <para>1.0 for an expected lifetime less than 3 years,</para>
        <para>1.5 for an expected lifetime of at least 3 years but less than 5 years,</para>

        <para>Special depreciation rules are applied for the last two periods resulting in a possible total depreciation exceeding the difference of <parameter>cost</parameter> - <parameter>salvage</parameter>.

        <para>With the simulation tool and the <function>SIMTABLE</function> function you can test given decision variables. Each <function>SIMTABLE</function> function contains the possible values of a simulation variable. In most valid simulation models you should have the same number of values <parameter>dN</parameter> for all decision variables.  If the simulation is run more rounds than there are values defined, <function>SIMTABLE</function> returns #N/A error (e.g. if A1 contains `=<function>SIMTABLE</function>(1)' and A2 `=<function>SIMTABLE</function>(1,2)', A1 yields #N/A error on the second round).</para>
        <para>The successive use of the simulation tool also requires that you give to the tool at least one input variable having RAND() or any other RAND&lt;distribution name&gt;() function in it. On each round, the simulation tool iterates for the given number of rounds over all the input variables to reevaluate them. On each iteration, the values of the output variables are stored, and when the round is completed, descriptive statistical information is created according to the values.</para>

        <para><function>LOGFIT</function> function applies the “least squares” method to fit the logarithmic equation y = a + b * ln(sign * (x - c)) ,   sign = +1 or -1 to your data. The graph of the equation is a logarithmic curve moved horizontally by c and possibly mirrored across the y-axis (if sign = -1).</para>
        <para><function>LOGFIT</function> returns an array having five columns and one row. `Sign' is given in the first column, `a', `b', and `c' are given in columns 2 to 4. Column 5 holds the sum of squared residuals.</para>
      </refsect1>
      <refsect1>
        <title>Note</title>
        <para>An error is returned when there are less than 3 different x's or y's, or when the shape of the point cloud is too different from a ``logarithmic'' one. You can use the above formula = a + b * ln(sign * (x - c)) or rearrange it to = (exp((y - a) / b)) / sign + c to compute unknown y's or x's, respectively. This is non-linear fitting by trial-and-error. The accuracy of `c' is: width of x-range -&gt; rounded to the next smaller (10^integer), times 0.000001. There might be cases in which the returned fit is not the best possible.</para>
