problem calculating rate of return
I have a strange problem when trying to calculate function IRR. It gives me
a divide by zero error, which I don't understand. According to the help-file it shouldn't be able to give me this error. It occurs when I insert the following numbers into cells A1 to A11. -10687 -44634 -45750 -5249219 1669875 1249913 11050 878220 815253 =IRR(A1:A10;0.25) Can someone explain why this happens? Thanks in advance Regards Thijs van Bon |

problem calculating rate of return
You're right in both instances, but it doesn't solve my problem.
1 the formula includes the formula cell. I made a mistake in copy-pasting to the newsgroup... has nothing to do with my problem 2 second arguemnet is optional try =IRR(A1:A9) This is not an option for me, because I need to know the IRR for a percentage of 0,25 (and several other percentages for that matter), so I can't leave out the second argument. My question still stands: Why does it give this error? |
