Level 3 — Finance and dates

What this level covers

The finance formulas, and the dates they depend on. NPV, IRR, PMT and the time value of money, EOMONTH and YEARFRAC and the day-count conventions that decide what a period actually is, plus the statistics that show up in a forecast. Sixty-nine scored cells.

One workbook. Lessons to read, practice grouped by topic, then a mixed checkpoint. 69 scored cells.

Instructions
What this level covers, how to work it, how it is marked.
Lessons
One card per topic. Read the card, then answer that topic on Practice.
Practice
The questions, grouped by topic. Orange cells are yours to fill in.
Checkpoint
Ten mixed questions with no topic headings, to see what stuck.
Score
Your result, by topic and overall.
Solutions
A worked answer for every question, shown when you ask for it.

A toggle at the top of the Test tab stays on N while you build, so you are working blind. Flip it to Y and every cell you filled turns green or red in place — no separate answer key. Values are compared, not formulas, so any construction that lands on the right number scores. The in-sheet coloring needs Excel 2010 or later; the Scoring tab works in any version.
