====== AvgBal ====== This is the average balance function. It returns the daily average balance of a GL account for a given month (or span of months). **AvgBal(AcctNum, AvgBalDate, //PosNeg//, //StartDate//)** ==== Example Usage ==== * **=AvgBal("1010-000", "7/31/2009")** Returns the daily average balance for account 1010-000 during the month of July, 2009. * **=AvgBal("1010-000", "6/30/2009", ,"1/1/2009")** Returns the daily average balance for account 1010-000 during the first two quarters of 2009. * Note the extra comma between the AvgBalDate and the StartDate. That must be included because the PosNeg parameter is not specified. * **=AvgBal("1010-000", "3/17/2009", "C", "10/22/2008")** Returns 'Debit Balance' because the daily average balance for account 1010-000 for the last quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 is a debit balance and the "C" in our formula told Excel to only display the balance if it was a credit. See below for more information about the PosNeg parameter. ==== Required Parameters ==== {{section>parameters#acctnum}} {{section>parameters#avgbaldate}} ==== Optional Parameters ==== {{section>parameters#posneg}} {{section>parameters#startdate}}
