I have a stream of cash flows for a financial model that I am building (pasted below). I am trying to calculate the IRR of the Gross and Net lines. For the Gross line, I entered the following formula =XIRR(G19:AD19,G17:AD17,0.5) and I get the result of 47.16%. I then try to verify that XIRR result by doing entering the following formula =XNPV(AK19,G19:AD19,G17:AD17. AK19 is the cell where the XIRR result was calculated. The result of that XNPV formula is -0.09795349. I was expecting the result of the XNPV to be much closer to 0 than that. Does this mean that my IRR calculation is not correct. Can someone please verify this for me? I would be grateful. Thank you in advance for your help.
