The syntax of the XIRR function formula is:
=XIRR(cashflow_amounts, cashflow_dates, [rate_guess])
cashflow_amounts are investment or redemption amounts.
cashflow_dates are investment or redemption dates.
rate_guess is optional, and is the rate of return you want from the investment.
Let's look at an example of the XIRR function formula:
Assume that E3, E4, and E5 have the following dates 7/12/2023, 8/20/2023, and 9/14/2023 respectively. Further assume that F3, F4, and F5 have the following investment/redemption amounts -1500, 300, 1210 respectively.
The XIRR function formula
=XIRR(E3:E5, F3:f5)
returns 0.0419 or 4.19%.
