Help with XIRR formula

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:43:31 GMT

Hi Folks

I'm having trouble making an XIRR function work, I have the following formula:

=XIRR (
 ( { $ < DT_TransDate = { '<=$(=Only(DT_ReportMonthEnd))' } > } _rCashflow_Drawdown + _rCashflow_Distribution )
 +
 ( { $ < DT_TransDate = {'$(=Only(DT_ReportMonthEnd))' } > } _rCashflow_FMV )
 , MonthEnd ( DT_CashflowDate )
 )

For information, the individual formulas for drawdown+distribution and for FMV work as expected, giving the correct values against the correct dates (FMV Being only against the last month end). But when I try the above in an XIRR expression, it will always return NULL.

I couldn't find anything on the forum related to XIRR so I'm not sure if anyone else out there is even using this function.

Any help appreciated as usual,

You have mistake in set analysis/ When you use range of values you should use double quote mark " and your formula would look like:

=XIRR (
( { $ < DT_TransDate = { "<=$(=Only(DT_ReportMonthEnd))" } > } _rCashflow_Drawdown + _rCashflow_Distribution )
+
( { $ < DT_TransDate = {"$(=Only(DT_ReportMonthEnd))'" } > } _rCashflow_FMV )
, MonthEnd ( DT_CashflowDate )
)

What is this? Why this is a part of your formula? You cant use it like that...

=XIRR ( ( { $ < DT_TransDate = { ' } _rCashflow_Drawdown + _rCashflow_Distribution ) + ( { $ < DT_TransDate = {"$(=Only(DT_ReportMonthEnd)" } > } _rCashflow_FMV ) , MonthEnd ( DT_CashflowDate ) )

Delete it.
