XNPV
Calculates the net present value of an investment based on a specified series of potentially irregularly spaced cash flows and a discount rate.
Sample Usage
XNPV(A2,B2:B25,C2:C25)
XNPV(0.08,{200,250,300},{DATE(2012,06,23),DATE(2013,05,12),DATE(2014,02,09)})
Syntax
XNPV(discount, cashflow_amounts, cashflow_dates)
-
discount- The discount rate of the investment over one period. -
cashflow_amounts- A range of cells containing the income or payments associated with the investment. -
cashflow_dates- A range of cells with dates corresponding to the cash flows incashflow_amounts.
Notes
-
XNPVis similar toPVexcept thatXNPVallows variable-value cash flows and cash flow intervals. -
If the days specified in
cashflow_datesare at a regular interval, useNPVinstead. -
Each cell in
cashflow_amountsshould be positive if it represents income from the perspective of the owner of the investment (e.g. coupons) or negative if it represents payments (e.g. loan repayment). -
XIRRunder the same conditions calculates the internal rate of return for which the net present value is zero.
