The first thing you should do is use Help to learn
about the PMT function. You will find that its
parameters are: PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv,type).

In the example you give, PMT() computes the
periodic payment necessary to reduce an initial
principle amount given in C4 (a loan, for example)
to zero over a number of periods given in E4 at a
periodic interest rate given in D412(!).
