Try ODDFPRICE

Price a long first coupon period

=ODDFPRICE(A2,B2,C2,D2,E2,A4,100,2,0)

The first coupon covers nine 30-day months, so it pays 4.5 per 100 face value rather than the regular 3. Settlement is on an unpaid quasi-coupon boundary, six months before the first actual payment. Discount cash flows 4.5, 3 and 103 over one, two and three half-years at 2%, then subtract accrued interest 1.5. Dates are Excel serials, rates are annual decimals and frequency is 2. The bond terms are synthetic.
