There are a number of keyboard shortcuts that simplify the entering of the Number field on a cash flow line. TValue allows you to simply update the field using the following shortcuts:
- Press [+] to increase the Number by 1.
- Press [-] to decrease the Number by 1.
- Press [Y] to convert the Number - which is viewed as years - to the Number of payments based on the compound period.
- An example of this is if your compound period is set to Weekly and you enter 3Y in the Number field, the Number field is converted to 156 as there are 156 weeks in 3 years.
- Another example is if your compound period is set to Monthly and you enter 30Y in the Number field, the Number field is converted to 360 as there are 360 months in 30 years.
