annual rate of return for a number of investments -
Hi; driving me crazy - how do I calculate an annual rate of return for e.g. 3 different investments in the same company for different amounts at different times? Easy to do one at a time, but I can't get my head around How to calculate the annual ROR for the 3 COMBINED
Here's a revised version of the spreadsheet I posted earlier, with more variable dates of purchase (which XIRR can handle), as well as dividend inflows. Play around by changing the numbers and dates, perhaps to reflect your real life situation. There are only two calculated cells: A8, which contains =TODAY() so it will always be up-to-date; and E6, which has the XIRR function in it.

If there were dividends along the way, they could be added into the cash flow sequence. See attached. You can add more descriptions to the data table, as desired. All XIRR needs are the dates and the cash flow data. The first one needs to be an outflow (negative),
