I'm able to fairly successfully calculate a future payoff required to achieve a targeted return (say 12%), on an annual basis, with the following formula

=-NPV(12%,cash flows)*(1+12%)^COUNTA(Periods)

However, I'm trying to adapt this formula for cash flows that are compounded quarterly.

For simplicity, say CF's looked like this:
Q1 '13 -100
Q2 '13 10
Q3 '13 10
Q4 '13 10
Q1 '14 10
Q2 '14 10
Q3 '14 10
Q4 '14 10
Q1 '15 ?

What dynamic formula would you write to show a value that achieves at targeted return of 12% in Q1 '15, with quarterly compounding?

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
This probably won't please every finance guy, but I'm getting close substituting the rate with the output from =(1+12%)^(0.25)-1
