Hi I'm trying to use the Microsoft.VisualBasic IRR function, but to no success.

double[] values = new double[73];
            for (int j = 1; j <= 73; j++)
            {
                values[j] = C158_Calc;
            }

            B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(values, 0.1) * 12;

I'm having trouble in this line:

B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(values, 0.1) * 12;

I'm not sure how to call the values

B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(ref values, 0.1) * 12; //<-- add ref

Thanks,

I've figured out that the array is not getting the values.

#
double[] values = new double[73];
#
for (int i = 1; i <= 240; i++)
#
{
#
double BW154_Calc = 0.0;
#
if (i == 72)
#
BW154_Calc = (C152_Calc * 12 / G169_In) * 100;
#
if (i == 240)
#
BW154_Calc = (C152_Calc * 12 / G170_In) * 100;
#
 
#
num3 += BW154_Calc;
#
 
#
// calculate 6 year IRR
#
if (i == 1)

C158_Calc = H30_Out + C152_Calc;

if (i >= 2 && i <= 72)

C158_Calc = C152_Calc;
#
if (i == 73)
#
C158_Calc = C152_Calc + num3;

 

// total 6 year IRR
for (int j = 1; j == values.Length - 1; j++)
{

values[j] = C158_Calc;

}
 
// calculate 20 year IRR
double C160_Calc = 0.0;
if (i == 1)
C160_Calc = H30_Out + C152_Calc;
else
C160_Calc = C152_Calc;

Hey, this function is still not working:

Try with a simple set of known data first. E.g:

double[] testvalues = new double[] { -100, 200, 300 };
B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(ref testvalues, 0.1);

Jip, that worked. Why won't my values?

Sorry, can't help you with that one. I have never used Financial.IRR Why not try testing with a small array of your values and see if the number of elements (or total value) is the problem.

try this

B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(ref testvalues, 1);

try this

B162_Calc = Financial.IRR(ref testvalues, 1);

Thanks for the input but this thread is over a year old.
I think by now the original problem has probably been solved.
