XIRR help needed

Question

As we know below is the function for XIRR in power BI:
= XIRR(<tablename>, [Cashflow], [Date])

Consider the below table

Name of asset	Col 1 (Invested amount)	Col 2 (Withdrawal amount)	Col 3 (Invested date)	Col 4 (Withdrawal date)
Asset 1	-100000	123000	1 Jan 2020	31 Dec 2022

How do I use the XIRR formula in Power BI for the above table given that we have 2 columns for Cashflow and 2 columns for date in the same row. Please note - I don’t want to unpivot the columns and align the amount and dates columns vertically.
So, the question is - how to use multiple columns for cashflow and multiple columns for dates in the Power BI XIRR formula, something equivalent to what can be easily done in excel e.g. =XIRR (Col1:Col2, Col3:Col4)

Hi&nbsp;ashwinkolte&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
Without unpivotting columns, it's difficult.
But if you just don't want to unpivot columns in Power Query, how about unpivotting in Power BI Desktop using DAX?
Please kindly refer to
DAX Unpivot - Microsoft Power BI Community
And below are the measure and the result:
Measure = var _table=

UNION(
        SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Name",[Name of asset],"Cashflow",[Col 1 (Invested amount)],"Date",[Col 3 (Invested date)]),
        SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Name",[Name of asset],"Cashflow",[Col 2 (Withdrawal amount)],"Date",[Col 4 (Withdrawal date)])
   
    )

return XIRR(_table,[Cashflow],[Date])
