TEST_2_Calc_.XML.TXT Hello, interest rates on call money and savings bonds are now available again. The question is wait or invest.

  • Call money 0,6%
  • Savings bond 2,0%

In 6 months it may be 3%. Therefore the question, can I represent in Excel that, when it is worthwhile to invest now already 2%, if also immediately in the autumn it gives 3%. The bottom line is that waiting may not be so good. Similar to the break even analysis. Thanks for tips. Greetings Markus Anlage_Beispiel

Rename the file from txt to xml, load it into Excel.
