Excel XIRR Function

This post will guide you how to use Excel XIRR function with syntax and examples in Microsoft excel.

Description

The Excel XIRR function returns the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows that is not necessarily periodic. And if you want to get the internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows, you can use the IRR function in Excel.

The XIRR function is a build-in function in Microsoft Excel and it is categorized as a Financial Function.

The XIRR function is available in Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2011 for Mac.

Syntax

The syntax of the XIRR function is as below:

= XIRR (values, dates, [guess])

Where the XIRR function arguments are:

  • Values -This is a required argument. An array or cell reference that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of return. And the values must include at least one positive value and one negative value.
  • Dates -This is a required argument. A series of dates that corresponds to the cash flow payments.
  • Guess – This is an optional argument. An initial guess at the internal rate of return. If it is omitted, and it will be set as 0.1 or 10%.

Note:

  • The values arguments must contain at least one positive value and one negative cash flow value, or the XIRR function will return the #NUM! Error.
  • If you provide an invalid date in the date argument, the XIRR function will return the #NUM! Error.

Excel XIRR Function Examples

The below examples will show you how to use Excel XIRR Function to calculate the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows.

#1 to get the internal rate of return, using the following formula:

Excel NPV Function

This post will guide you how to use Excel NPV function with syntax and examples in Microsoft excel.

Description

The Excel NPV function returns the net present value of an investment by using a discount rate and a series of future cash flows (future payments and income).

The NPV function is a build-in function in Microsoft Excel and it is categorized as a Financial Function.

The NPV function is available in Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2011 for Mac.

Syntax

The syntax of the NPV function is as below:

= NPV (rate, Value1,[value2],…)

Where the NPV function arguments are:

  • Rate -This is a required argument. The discount rate over one period.
  • Value1,[value2],… – the value1 argument is required, the subsequent values are optional. All values should be numeric values, and representing a series of future payments and income, the future payments should provide the negative values, and the income should provide the positive values.

Note:

  • The NPV investment begins one period before the date of the value1 cash flow and ends with the last cash flow in the list. The NPV calculation is based on future cash flows. If your first cash flow occurs at the beginning of the first period, the first value must be added to the NPV result, not included in the values arguments. For more information, see the examples below.
  • NPV is also related to the IRR function (internal rate of return). IRR is the rate for which NPV equals zero: NPV(IRR(…), …) = 0.

Excel IRR Function

This post will guide you how to use Excel IRR function with syntax and examples in Microsoft excel.

Description

The Excel IRR function returns the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows and the cash flows must be occurred at regular intervals (monthly or annually).

The internal rate of return is the interest rate received for an investment consisting of payments (negative values) and income (positive values) that occur at regular periods.

The IRR function is a build-in function in Microsoft Excel and it is categorized as a Financial Function.

The IRR function is available in Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel 2007, Excel 2011 for Mac.

Syntax

The syntax of the IRR function is as below:

=IRR(values, [guess])

Where the IRR function arguments are:

  • Values -This is a required argument. An array or cell reference that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of return. And the values must include at least one positive value and one negative value.
  • Guess – This is an optional argument. An initial guess at the internal rate of return. If it is omitted, and it will be set as 0.1 or 10%.

Note:

  • IRR is closely related to NPV, the net present value function. The rate of return calculated by IRR is the interest rate corresponding to a 0 (zero) net present value. The following formula demonstrates how NPV and IRR are related:
  • NPV(IRR(A2:A7),A2:A7) equals 1.79E-09 [Within the accuracy of the IRR calculation, the value is effectively 0 (zero).]
