CUMIPMT

Trying to figure the total interest paid between a start_period and
end_period.
I used "CUMIPMT to give the correct amount but it is a negative value and I
can't use it's negative value when adding a column. I need a positive value.
Can anyone help. Thanks

make the 'pv' a negative value of put a '-' in front of the function's
name.
