Here is the Raw date one column dates (starting at b column, line 2 = dates
by month ), another one with one investments invest1 giving me an XIRR of
-10.5%, the 2nd one Invest2 is giving me 0.0% (which is wrong), the
respective fomulas are =XIRR(F36:IV36,F$2:IV$2) and =XIRR(E37:DG37,E$2:DG$2)

Dear Fred, the g48:dh48 is the cash flows of the investments ie the
investment1 and investment2 cash flows here below; the g$2:dh$2 are the dates
for the investemnts. The data is put in rows. If you want, just copy paste
them in rows, and see what it gives you.

Thanks, Gilles

Dear Fred, I am just trying to understand why I have a 0% Irr on certain cash
flows, while I am not supposed to, please find here after another set of data
that gives me this thing, one investment IRR gives me 0% while it should not.
Please copy this data set on Excel, replace the formulas of IRR with these
ones
=XIRR(D4:IV4,D$1:IV$1) for investment X

=XIRR(D7:IV7,D$1:IV$1) for investment Y

Row 1 = dates
row 4 = cash flows of investment x
row 7 = cash flow of investment y (some rows have been hidden and are not in
the calculation )

Dear Fred, the g48:dh48 is the cash flows of the investments ie the
investment1 and investment2 cash flows here below; the g$2:dh$2 are the
dates
for the investemnts. The data is put in rows. If you want, just copy paste

Gilles,

It's still very difficult for me to decipher your data from your post. As
far as I can tell, you have a series of months, and a series of cash flows,
a lot of which are zero. This is not the kind of data you need to feed XIRR.

Here's what you need to do:
1. Create a range with only the dates (not months, but actual dates) of each
cash flow.
2. Create a similar range with only the actual cash flows. As far as I can
tell, you have about 8 cash flows -- that's all you need to feed to XIRR.
3. Give this information to XIRR.

If you're still having trouble, reply with the data you are passing to
XIRR -- the actual series of dates, and the actual cash flows. I'll show you
how to format the function arguments.

XIRR does work when fed the proper data.
