Default calculating a discount rate

Hello,
I have a series of future cash flows, and a lump sum offer for them. Is
there a function I can use in Excel to calculate what the discount rate used
to generate that lump offer was? I can trial and error it using PV and
extrapolating a rate, but I was hoping for something that I could plug
Present Value, Future Value and Number of Periods into that would give me the
discount rate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
