Interest Income (Historical) Formula in Excel

Get historical interest income data for any publicly traded company or financial instrument directly in Excel with MarketXLS. Using the built-in "Interest Income (Historical)" formula helps you make more informed decisions by examining an entity’s earnings from lending activity over a chosen period. This guide will show you the function’s syntax, parameters, and easy-to-implement examples.

Understanding Interest Income (Historical)

Interest income is the amount a company earns from lending money or from allowing other entities to utilize its funds. Here’s why this metric is important:

• Historical Analysis: Assess trends in a company's interest-based revenue over time.
• Investment Decision: Compare interest-related performance across different symbols, including stocks, indices, options, and cryptocurrencies.
• Strategic Planning: Use income insights for balance sheet management and profitability forecasting.

Syntax and Parameters

=hf_Interest_income(Symbol, Year, [Quarter], [TTM])

?? Note: If the data is unavailable for the specified date range or symbol, the function may return “NA.” Ensure your MarketXLS license is valid.

Return Value

• Returns a numeric value representing the interest income, if found.
• Returns “NA” if an error occurs or data does not exist for the specified period.

Special Cases and Limitations

• Symbols must be recognized by MarketXLS. Invalid or delisted symbols will return “NA.”
• When using last-year, last-quarter, or last-12-months parameters (e.g., "ly-1", "lq-2"), MarketXLS calculates the correct historical period automatically.
• Always verify the licensing tier to use historical fundamentals.

Examples and Usage

Below are common scenarios demonstrating how to use the formula:

1. Retrieve interest income for Microsoft for a specific year:

   =hf_Interest_income("MSFT", 2022)

2. Retrieve interest income for the S&P 500 index for the last quarter:

   =hf_Interest_income("^SPX", "lq")

3. Retrieve trailing twelve months (TTM) data for Microsoft for year 2022, quarter 3:

   =hf_Interest_income("MSFT", 2022, 3, "TTM")

4. Retrieve interest income for an option contract:

   =hf_Interest_income("@MSFT 110122C00020000", "ly-1")

5. Retrieve interest income for Bitcoin/USD pair:

   =hf_Interest_income("BTCUSD:DEFAULT", "lt")

? Pro Tip: You can reference cells or date functions in Excel, such as:
• Using a cell reference for Year: =hf_Interest_income("MSFT", A1)
• Using direct year strings with special notation: =hf_Interest_income("MSFT", "lq-2")

Common Questions

1. Why am I getting “NA” instead of a value?

   • Possible reasons include invalid symbol, data unavailability for the specified date, or an expired MarketXLS license.

2. Does this function handle different date formats?

   • Yes. You can use direct inputs like 2022, special keywords like “lq,” or references to cells and date functions.

3. How does the function handle performance and large datasets?

   • MarketXLS caches historical data for faster retrieval. However, retrieving many symbols in bulk may still require moderate time.

4. What if I only have annual data for a symbol?

   • If you request quarterly data but only annual data is available, the function may return “NA” or revert to the available data.

Use “Interest Income (Historical)” in conjunction with other MarketXLS historical fundamentals (Revenue, R&D Expenses, Gross Profit, etc.) to gain comprehensive insights into a company’s financial performance.

?? Note: Always confirm symbol formats and parameters when using advanced keywords like "lq" or "lt" to ensure accurate results.
