See issue PHPOffice#2116. Code for handling end of month (method couponFirstPeriodDate) needed a fix. Fixed it, confirmed it covered the reported issue with no regression problems. Then added some extra similar tests to all the callers of couponFirstPeriodDate, and ... One new test, in COUPDAYSNC, does not agree with Excel. It also does not agree with LibreOffice. It does, however, agree with Gnumeric, and with my (hardly guaranteed) hand calculation of what the result should be. So, I'm going with it (and have added an appropriate comment to the test data). I'm glad to discuss the matter with anyone more familiar than I with how this is supposed to work - those 360-day years are killers.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
those 360-day years are killers.
From memory, there's also a couple of the financial functions where the daysInYear mode is passed as an argument, but completely ignored by MS Excel.... I suspect they pass it in for consistency, so a functions look similar to user in terms of arguments, but it's not documented that it isn't actually used
