    I did read the help and found it a bit confusing. So if my results for the 19 months is -26.0%. That means what?

    Excel: Internal Rate of Return Function (IRR)?

    Thanks for the info. The formula works, can you explain what this formula is doing? Why doesn't a positive # work for the guess and why doesn't the value change when I use guess of "-.5" or "-.9"?

    Dynamic Excel charts

    I forgot to mention that the excel data is comming from Access. My alternative would be to create the charts in access, and export them to excel. I never used chart in Access. Can anyone help with this alternative. Please refer to my initial question. Thank you.

    Can I typecast in a Select statement?

    Select CLng([Part ID]) From table WHERE [Part ID] >0 I get an error in the expression. Problem out of the over 20000 rows some of the part ids have letters. Would this blow up the Clng function?
