future value function needed

Classic Servoy

There are a bunch of financial functions in Filemaker that are, at their roots, Excel functions. ANyway, they are very useful for financial work. I especuilly need the future value “FV” function. This function makes it easy to determine for example, the principal paid on a loan given regular payments at a fixed interest rate for a set term. This is a pretty basic need and the work around is really complex and ugly. Would you please put the equivalent financial functions from Filemaker on on the list - or at least FV?

I totally agree that these functions would be useful if they came “canned.” Rolling your own though is not a big deal – check out the source code of any online financial calculator. My first hit came up with this one and it almost pastes directly into a Servoy method:

Thanks, David. It didn’t occur to me to look for javascript examples of this. That’s way cool. What a great feature of Servoy to be able to make use of such examples almost out of the box. Thanks again!
