RangeXIRR - script function
RangeXIRR() returns the internal rate of return for a schedule of cash flows that is not necessarily periodic. To calculate the internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows, use the RangeIRR function.
Syntax:
RangeXIRR(values, dates[, Expression])
Return data type: numeric
Arguments:
- dates: A payment date or a schedule of payment dates that corresponds to the cash flow payments.
- values: A cash flow or a series of cash flows that correspond to a schedule of payments in dates. Each value may be a single value or a range of values as returned by an inter-record function with a third optional parameter. The series of values must contain at least one positive and one negative value.
- Expression: Optional expressions or fields containing the range of data to be measured.
Limitations:
Text values, NULL values and missing values are disregarded.
All payments are discounted based on a 365-day year.
Example 1:
RangeXIRR(-2500,'2008-01-01',2750,'2008-09-01') returns 0.1532.
Example 2:
Add the example script to your document and run it. Then add, at least, the fields listed in the results column to a sheet in your document to see the result.
RangeTab3:
LOAD *,
recno() as RangeID,
RangeXIRR(Field1,Field2,Field3) as RangeXIRR;
LOAD * INLINE [
Field1|Field2|Field3
10|5|-6000
2|NULL|7000
8|'abc'|8000
18|11|9000
5|5|9000
9|4|2000
] (delimiter is '|');
The resulting table shows the returned values of RangeXIRR for each of the records in the table:
RangeID | RangeXIRR |
---|---|
1 | - |
2 | 0.5893 |
3 | 0.5089 |
4 | 0.4476 |
5 | 0.4476 |
6 | 2.5886 |
