XIRR DAX - Bug

Hi Anonymous ,

You table has positive and negative values on the same day, it’s invalid input there is no way to search for a solution when the values fluctuate violently on the same day. The input to XIRR should be one value per date.

You need to use Group By in Query Editor to group by [as_at] column and filtering the leading row when using the XIRR function. e.g. Column = XIRR(FILTER('Work', [as_at] > DATE(2013, 6, 30)), [Total], [as_at]), XIRR will find a solution.

Remember the assumption of XIRR is that there are a few large investments upfront (big negative numbers on the first few dates) and then recoup your investment over a long period of time with mostly positive cash flows. The best chance for XIRR to find a solution is to make sure input data follows the pattern. The other input patterns don’t make financial sense anyway.
