you need dates for each period so it can calculate rate of return, were these
monthly or annual reports etc. Guess is your estimate of return, if blank it uses the default of 0.1 or 10%.

Daniela, xiir is a formula for calculating the internal rate of return for nonperiodical payments. If your paymnets are periodical, including the first one, otherwise, u must enter the payment days for all your cash flow Oscar -- omoratto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ omoratto's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35343 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=549560 |

If your cash flows occur with regular frequency (e.g. monthly), simply use IRR. No dates are required. On the other hand, if you "must" use XIRR -- for example, to demonstrate the very small difference between its result and IRR's -- you "must" make up fictitious dates on a parallel column, e.g. 3/1/2006, 4/1/2006, etc. But beware of the latter: choosing fictitious dates will alter the XIRR result. As for a "guess" parameter, I found that none is needed for those particular cash flows. |
