I have a variable with 10 quarters of cash flow. It looks like the following: The variable in SAS is called Axiom. I want to calculate the IRR but I am not sure how. I looked it up but still confused. Thank you,

Note:

I make some experiments calculating IRR in Excel and SAS.

The calculation in Excel and SAS equals if make a daily cash flow both in Excel and SAS. I mean you have 6/30/2013 7/1/2013 7/2/2013 ... and so on 365 points per year most of them are missing or equals zero.

Then you can use IRR=IRR(365, of col:);

Oleg,

It worked perfectly. Thank you for the second email since making a daily data set was the key.
