Hi.
I think it is the way it is used.
Say in your formula you have something worth 2000 in 5 years at 8%, you
would write;
NPV = 2000/(1+0.08)^5 =1361.17
In LO the function is for a series of payments, you have 1 payment at 5
years, you would write;
=NPV(0.08;0;0;0;0;2000) = 1361.17

Hello,

I recently upgraded from OpenOffice and everything seems to be working
great. I do have a question about the built-in NPV function in Calc
however. Calculating the NPV of a given cash flow using the built-in
function and doing a manual calculation provide drastically different
results. I am not sure what the built-in function uses, but I am using
the fairly standard formula of:

(Value of Cash flow at period t) / (1 + r) ^ t

Is this expected behavior? I am using a Debian build of version 3.3.1.

    
What specifically are you entering in the NPV formula?

These might help:
