Hello,
I am having issues with the excel IRR function. My current cashflows are currently returning "#NUM!". I have tried adjusting the iterations and maximum change and my guess. Currently my formula looks like "=IRR(B4:B87,-0.3)" and my cashflows are the following:
<colgroup><col style="width: 147px;"><col style="width: 97px;"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
Where the cells with "-" contain zeros and the flows are cells B4:B87. The part that is extremely frustrating is when I add as little as a penny (.01) as the cashflow for the last entry, October 1st of 2015, the formula works and I am getting a return that makes sense.
Also, as a sidenote: I have also tried the XIRR formula to find the same results.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ryan
