Default Annual Return Formula

If you mean the Average return then with your data in A1:B4 then

=AVERAGE(B1:B3)

*Provided* the individual averages are of the same proportion. ie 5/10,
5/100, 5/1000 is 50%, 5%, 0.5% with an *average* of 18.5% but there are 15
*Returns* out of 1110 items which is really a percentage of 1.35%
