DOLLARDE function

This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the DOLLARDE function in Microsoft Excel.

Description

Converts a dollar price expressed as an integer part and a fraction part, such as 1.02, into a dollar price expressed as a decimal number. Fractional dollar numbers are sometimes used for security prices.

The fraction part of the value is divided by an integer that you specify. For example, if you want your price to be expressed to a precision of 1/16 of a dollar, you divide the fraction part by 16. In this case, 1.02 represents $1.125 ($1 + 2/16 = $1.125).

The DOLLARDE function syntax has the following arguments:

• Fractional_dollar    Required. A number expressed as an integer part and a fraction part, separated by a decimal symbol.

Formula	Description	Result
=DOLLARDE(1.02,16)	Converts 1.02, read as 1 and 2/16, to a decimal number (1.125). Because the fraction value is 16, the price has a precision of 1/16 of a dollar.	1.125
=DOLLARDE(1.1,32)	Converts 1.1, read as 1 and 10/32, to a decimal number (1.3125). Because the fraction value is 32, the price has a precision of 1/32 of a dollar.	1.3125
