AMORDEGRC function
Deprecated French declining-balance depreciation function for old workbooks
Microsoft has deprecated this function following changes to French depreciation methodology. It is retained for compatibility with old workbooks. Returns the depreciation for each accounting period by using a depreciation coefficient. The browser adapter uses original dated examples and the legacy declining/half/final schedule, with 0, 1, 3 or 4 day-count bases and whole-unit rounding. The purchase year supplies the Actual/Actual denominator. It supports local source edits and array periods; native-client version differences and workbook round trips remain unverified.

Try AMORDEGRC
Read a legacy declining-balance charge
=AMORDEGRC(A2,B2,C2,D2,1,E2,0)The original asset costs 1200, with a 0.20 annual rate and a five-year life. The coefficient is 2, so the first full-year charge is 480 and the next is (1200-480)*0.40 = 288. Dates are Excel serials for January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027. Microsoft has deprecated this function; this example helps read old workbooks.
