Loans calculations adopting "french" method

My problem is how to calculate the principal repayment and the interests repayment of loans, adopting the so called "french" method. This method of rembursement is based on a constant flow (per year or fraction of year), being this flow the sum of varying interest and principal repayment.
Is anybody so kind to help me some way?

Hello,

I used this accounting method in my model that I submitted to the Forum on the 9-3-04 for review. Let me know if you have questions.

I found a draft solution.

Hi,
attached is a draft model which addresses the problem. It works correctly only if no new borrowings take place after the main loan starts. I think that - anyway - this kind of credit line doesn't allow new borrowings after the start.
Any comment is welcome!

I don't know if this is what your searching for, but it might help.

Good Luck, Jeroen
