The Amount field on a cash flow line specifies the amount of the Event. If the Event is a Loan or Deposit, enter the original principal amount. If the Event is a Payment, Withdrawal, or Deposit, enter the amount for a single payment whether it is part of a series or not.
Unknown amounts can be entered by typing [U] in the Amount field.
To enter the Loan, Payment, Withdrawal, or Deposit Amount
- [Tab] to or click in the Amount field of a cash flow line.
- Enter an amount with or without decimals. TValue will automatically add commas. Do not use characters such as $.
TValue has two amount-entry modes: default and Whole Amounts. The default mode lets you enter amounts with decimals and cents. Whole Amounts mode is primarily used for entering very large amounts without cents. To set this option, check Whole Amounts from the Configuration ribbon's Amount Format group.
Tip: Depending on the Event of a cash flow line, pressing [F2] in an Amount field displays either the Loan Details or Special Series menu with options for entering information such as Points & Fees or type of Special Series for that cash flow line.
- Press [U] in the Amount field.
Tip: To solve for Weighted Unknowns, such as five times an unknown, enter 5X in the Amount field.
- Enter all the variables for the schedule you are working on.
- Press [F9], [Ctrl]+[U], or click the Calculate button from the Compute group on the ribbon. The calculated amount will be displayed in the Amount field that was designated Unknown.
