IRR CalculationsHow do you use the Function for IRR if you have an outlay of cash at the start and then you receive the same amount of cash indefinitely?
Hi Laurie!
If it's a single outlay:
Rate = CashFlow/Outlay
Rate will be the effective rate for the periodicity of the cash flow.
With a monthly cash flow
Annual Effective = (1+CashFlow/Outlay)^12-1

PMT calculation is negative numberI'm using the PMT formula and it is correctly calculating the figure I need,
but always saves it as a negative number. Is there a way to change this so
that it is a positive number?
Thanks!
One way:
= -PMT(...)
One way to think about PMT's treatment of signs is as cash flows. If you
received money in a loan (positive pv argument), then payments will be
outgo (negative payment). OTOH, if you made an investment (so you paid
out cash - a negative pv), then your monthly returns (PMT) will be
positive.

You can do it with macros by setting the range to

.Calculation = xlManual
.MaxChange = 0.001

Global Calculation ???Using Excel 97
I have a number of spreadsheets where I have to do a convert all amounts
with a calculation. Is there a global way to do this. There's quite a few
cells and spreadsheets ... would be nice to not have to tell each cell to do
this. (even using the fill function would be onerous).
Thanks a bunch for any short-cuts.
Diana
Hi
Do you want to apply the same formula to these cells, or what? You can make
use of a macro to achieve your goal, but the macro itself will be difficult
to write without any guidelines?

calculate a productivity percentageHi guys.
I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to calculate the productivity of my
team via excel. What I need is to set an average so that if they complete 12
tasks within an hour this is 100% performance.
My two columns are Productive time (in minutes) and forms complete. If it
falls below 12 an hour I need the percentage to reflect that.
Any help?
Hi,
If we assume a data layout of:-

C1 = 12. The standard units per hour productiion rate

Conflicting CalculationsHello all,
I have audited my formulas over and over and am seeing an odd behaviour in
Excel 2007 SP2. I am comparing cost rates. One contract price will be
0.0140 per minute.Another contract price will be 0.0159.
Each will be compared against the same minute field. Obviously, if you
multiple the first contract price by the minute it will be less than the
second contract price. However, when you add both columns up to get a total
of about 40,000 records, the second contract amount totals less than the
first contract amount. Impossible, right? I even tested with a sumrpo...
How to calculate portfolio performanceI currently calculate my portfolio performance using the formula:
=(H2/H1)-100% (H1 is beginning value, H2 is current value)
I will soon begin making withdrawals from my investment account. What
formula would I use to account for money that is withdrawn? Using the
current formula it would be counted as a loss.
e.g.
1/1/2008 value = $10,000.00
2/1/2008 withdraw $2,000.00
2/28/2008 value = $8,100.00
I made $100.00, not lost $1,900.00. So what formula do I use to correct
this?
Thanks,
Joe

Problem in calculating the outcomeDear Expert,
I have problem in doing a task.
Say below ...
A1 is name. B1 to Z1 is comprised of 25 names ...
A2 is Shifts. There are 12 Shifts in a week.
Even it works, they may have different working hours in a shift.
So, wanna calculate the total hours for shift 4 regarding who did it...
In this case, the answer is 3+4+2=9
For Shift 3, total hours are 2+4=6
Name Jimmy Fiona Cindy Crystal Peter Peggy John
Shifts 1 3 4 2 3 4 4
Hours 3 2 3 4 4 4 2

Calculating date/timeHi all
I need to ascertain when a given action needs to be completed by, by
adding a SLA (service level agreement) to the current date and time.
Note:
- SLAs may be anything from 1 minute to 2 weeks
- Weekends must be ignored (not included in calcs)
- A work day is Monday to Friday 6.30AM to 7.00PM
So, for example, if it's Friday 4PM and a SLA is 4 hours, the required
completion time should be Monday 7.30AM.
I've looked at Chip Pearson's site for date/time calculation, but my
problem does not appear to be addressed. Any direction is much
appreciated.

Calculating the percent effective based on a set weight.I am trying to rate the performance based on a predetermined
percentage weight.
Example:
Bob has a 7% quality rate
Tracy has a 8% quality rate.
Larry has a 9% quality rate.
This particular category has a 30% total weight.
(The other categories - [production etc.] adds up to 70% totaling 100%
effective).
Question:
With a goal of 8%, how do I figure their effectiveness based on a 30%
weight?
Since I'm dealing with quality, the lower the number the higher their
weight.
Example:
Bob has a 7% (cell A2) quality.
The goal is 8% (cell A1).
The weight is in A3, (30%).

What is the present value as of 6/30/2004?

No calculation on new machineI run XP Home with Office 2002
I have just installed my programs to a new machine.
Excel is behaving differently on the new machine:

ii) I can insert a calculation, SUM for instance, into a cell and I
get a 0.00 result.
iii) Format > Cells provides three options, Border, pattern and

What have I miised?

That depends on the type and specification of the loan. It might also
depend on the jurisdiction of the loan. For example, the computation
for Canadian mortgages can be very different.
For a typical US loan with monthly payments and no balloon payment, the
CUMIPMT() function might give you what you want. See Help ...
