EACInfo returns an explanation of the referenced EAC function. Various elements of the function can be returned, e.g. a description of the mortality table that was specified, or a detailed explanation of the type of annuity that was specified.

For example: if the function PVSL12 is in cell B11, then the function call EACInfo (“B11”,”all”) in cell A12 will return the following text that spills from A12 to A17.
