The question is from the Prep Guide.
targetyear=intnx('Year','05feb94'd,3)
I was anticipating the answer 05feb97.However, the value is 13515 i.e., January1,1997. Why is that so?
However, the same functin used on semiyear yield the value as expected.
Eg.
targetMonth=intnx('semiyear','01jan2001'd,1) and the answer is 01July2001.
If you don't include the allignment option, beginning is the default. That is what you got for year (jan 1) and semi-year (july 1)

It just did what you asked it to do. If you want it to find the same point in the interval you need to tell it that.
targetyear=intnx('Year','05feb94'd,3,'same')
INTNX() has 4 parameters, you've specified 3.
The fourth parameter tells it how to align the dates: beginning, same, end, middle.
The default is the beginning, which is being used.
thanks.
