I currently have an Access module that drops data into Excel and places the cursor below the last row of the last column. I want to programically place Excel's IRR function in this cell. Column A contains the dates and column C the amount field. Code snippet

' Selects c7; first blank cell at the bottom of a contiguous colum
xlWs.Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Selec

Thanks

Forrest

IRR does not accept dates; XIRR does:

Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=XIRR(R1C:R[-1]C,R1C1:R[-1]C1,0.1)"

Tom, thanks for the syntax. I adjusted it to exclude row one which includes headers, but nothing drops in the Excel spreadsheet cell, so I hard coded the referenced cells; again nothing? What am I missing? I have included the entire code module up to your aditional line as modified per comments above. Any thoughts

Look forward to your feed-back as you recognized my need for the XIRR function

Thanks

You don't need to select anyway:

xlWs.Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).FormulaR1C1 = _ 'Selects c7,
blank cell at bottom of contiguous column
"=XIRR(R2C:R[-1]C,R2C1:R[-1]C1,0.1)" 'Tom's line modified

or,
Selection is a property of the Application or the Window, but not the
worksheet

xlWs.Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
xlApp.FormulaR1C1 = "=XIRR(R2C:R[-1]C,R2C1:R[-1]C1,0.1)"

Works lilke a champ. Thanks for the education.

glad it worked - for completeness

xlWs.Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
xlApp.FormulaR1C1 = "=XIRR(R2C:R[-1]C,R2C1:R[-1]C1,0.1)"


should have been

xlWs.Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
xlApp.Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=XIRR(R2C:R[-1]C,R2C1:R[-1]C1,0.1)"
