Hi all,
been trying for hour and hours. Probably read half of the Internet by now. Still no luck getting this to work. Would appreciate if anyone has some insights or maybe even a solution.
I keep a spreadsheet to track my investment portofolio and I'm trying to calculate the annualized return (%) for active positions I hold.
Each position can have multiple transactions: buy, dividents,sell, re-buy,... and all the data will be in non-contiguous lines.
I keep a seperate tab with the summary of each position. This is where I'd also like to show the annualized return.
The challenge I'm having, is to calculate the position's offset date to be used in the annualized return calculation.
It seems to work just fine for most of my stock/positions, but for some it comes up with a rediculous date (sometimes centuries into the future).
Hard to explain, and a lot of data/formulas involved. I made a small sample sheet to show what I'm trying to achieve, which can be found here (<-- click)
I tried to just use regular 'average' to calculate the date, but the results are not exaclty correct I believe, and this is supposed to be an exact science
.
Who can help me out here? You get to be my hero for the day!
