DEPRECIATION

Basic Overview

Description	This function calculates the linear depreciation values of the ValueNode according to the matching depreciation times in the DepreciationTimesNode on the given time level. The result will be the depreciation value for each time period, not the remaining book value of the asset that is depreciated. The DepreciationTimesNode must not have any time level.
Syntax	DEPRECIATION(ValueNode, DepreciationTime [, TimeLevel])
Parameter	ValueNode: Input node with the values that are depreciated over time. Must have the TimeLevel. DepreciationTime: Node that contains the matching depreciation times for the assets in the value node. If a depreciation time is not given or zero, no depreciation value will be calculated for the asset. Depreciation times must also be neither negative nor non-integer. TimeLevel: Name of the time level to which the depreciation times correspond. Optional parameter, if omitted, the depreciation times are assumed to be years.
