Sample Usage

Syntax
DOLLARDE(fractional_price, unit)
  • fractional_price - The price quotation given using fractional decimal conventions.
  • unit - The units of the fraction, e.g. 8 for 1/8ths or 32 for 1/32nds.
Notes
  • DOLLARDE is used to convert from prices specified on certain securities exchanges with minimal increments (e.g. 1/8 or 1/32) into decimal format. These prices may be transmitted on electronic exchanges as 100.01 for 100 1/8 or 100 1/32 depending on the system and minimal increment. DOLLARDE(100.01,8) results in 100.125 whereas DOLLARDE(100.01,32) results in 100.03125.
