Calculate XIRR in SQL Server

  • Hello All,

    Is there any way to calculate XIRR in SQL server using T-SQL.

    Kindly suggest.

    Thankx

  • That the good one!

    There are no such thing in SQL!

    You can code it yourself if you wish and have time to do so (you will need to find good algorithm first).

    Or use XLeratorDB product from http://www.westclintech.com, if you really need it and have some money to spend 🙂

  • can any one give me best algorithm for the same, so i can go ahead with development.

    If sample code provided then its save my time.

    Thankx

  • a quick google search on XIRR turned up this:

  • OK,

    Here we are:

    1. We create a sample table

    create table txns

    (

    PmtAmount money

    ,PmtDate Datetime

    )

    insert into txns

    select -2750,'20080205'

    union select 1000,'20080705'

    union select 2000,'20090105'

    2. Then we calculate your XIRR as per Excel (almost):

    DECLARE @nGuessRate NUMERIC(18,10)

    SET @nGuessRate= 0.1 -- 10% - as per Excel XIRR default

    DECLARE @dtFirstPmtDate DATETIME

    DECLARE @nRateChangeNUMERIC(18,10)

    DECLARE @nResidual NUMERIC(18,10)

    DECLARE @nPrevResidual NUMERIC(18,10)

    DECLARE @nXIRR NUMERIC(18,10)

    SET @nRateChange = 0.1 -- starting point of the rate change

    SELECT @dtFirstPmtDate=MIN(PmtDate) FROM txns

    SELECT @nResidual = 10

    ,@nPrevResidual = 1

    ,@nXIRR = @nGuessRate

    DECLARE @nIteration SMALLINT

    SET @nIteration = 0 -- 100 is a maximum number of calc. iterations as per Excel XIRR

    WHILE @nIteration < 100 AND ABS((@nPrevResidual - @nResidual) / @nPrevResidual) > 1.0/POWER(10,8)

    BEGIN

    SET @nPrevResidual = @nResidual

    SET @nResidual = 0

    SELECT @nResidual = @nResidual + PmtAmount/ POWER((1.0+@nGuessRate),(DATEDIFF(d,@dtFirstPmtDate,PmtDate)/365.0))

    FROM txns

    SET @nXIRR = @nGuessRate

    IF @nResidual >= 0

    BEGIN

    SET @nGuessRate = @nGuessRate + @nRateChange

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    SET @nRateChange = @nRateChange / 2

    SET @nGuessRate = @nGuessRate - @nRateChange

    END

    SET @nIteration = @nIteration + 1

    END

    -- Calculation result

    SELECT @nXIRR AS XIRR

    Now, you can wrap it into stored proc or sql function.

    Remember to check that your payment range contains at least one negative and one positive payment, otherwise you should return some error, check Excel XIRR documentation for other error conditions if any.

    BUT! It may not be what you want. You most likely want XIRR to be an aggregate function. You cannot implement it in T-SQL, but you can do it in .NET as CLR function. Or, buy the product I have told you about in the previous post.

    I might write some article about it if I have spare time...

    Good Luck

  • ok Elutin

    Thanx four your help

  • thanx ...but the xirr value is not marching with MS Excel 🙁

  • An XIRR is just a function name in Excel, it is actually an IRR calculation when the timings for the cash flows are given using a date schedule. This then leads to discounting of the cash flows at the actual time period as opposed to periodic time periods in IRR calculation

    There are more than one way to define the XIRR equation and there are scores of ways of finding the roots of this equation that results in one or more IRR values

    My personal favorite algo to find roots of a given function is the popular Newton-Raphson method that was named after the two mathematicians who independently discovered this method independent of each other about more than two centuries ago. One is the famous inventor of modern day Calculus the English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (whom it seem was Knighted by the King of England thus the title "Sir" is referenced. The other one is Joseph Raphson, I am not sure of his national origin but it sounds like an American name so who knows I didn't look it up

    Code may not always return an XIRR in such a case use a Guess rate other than the last one tried. In other case a Division by zero may be encountered when the differential is zero.

    CREATE TYPE dbo.MyXirrTable AS TABLE

    (

    theValue DECIMAL(19, 9) NOT NULL,

    theDate DATETIME NOT NULL

    )

    GO

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.XIRR

    (

    @Sample MyXirrTable READONLY,

    @Rate DECIMAL(19, 9) = 0.1

    )

    RETURNS DECIMAL(38, 9)

    AS

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @X DECIMAL(19, 9) = 0.0,

    @X0 DECIMAL(19, 9) = 0.1,

    @f DECIMAL(19, 9) = 0.0,

    @fbar DECIMAL(19, 9) = 0.0,

    @i TINYINT = 0,

    IF @Rate IS NULL

    SET @Rate = 0.1

    SET @X0 = @Rate

    WHILE @i < 100

    BEGIN

    SELECT @f = 0.0,

    @fbar = 0.0

    SELECT @f = @f + theValue * POWER(1 + @X0, (-theDelta / 365.0E)),

    @fbar = @fbar - theDelta / 365.0E * theValue * POWER(1 + @X0, (-theDelta / 365.0E - 1))

    FROM (

    SELECT theValue,

    DATEDIFF(DAY, MIN(theDate) OVER (), theDate) AS theDelta

    FROM @Sample

    ) AS d

    IF @fbar = 0

    RETURN NULL

    SET @X = @X0 - @f / @fbar

    If ABS(@X - @X0) < 0.00000001

    RETURN @X

    SET @X0 = @X

    SET @i += 1

    END

    RETURN NULL

    END

    GO

  • The Newton-Raphson approach to finding roots can also be done in an rCTE:

    My mantra: No loops! No CURSORs! No RBAR! Hoo-uh![/I]

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.

  • I've been using this and it works great but it doesn't work if the XIRR is negative, did you ever modify this code to handle that?

  • I got it to work using a guess rate of -.9

    Thank you so very much for sharing this info.
    This post is about 4 years old. Wondering if you have to modify this code any further? I am looking to implement XIRR in Sql server too.

    I got it to work using a guess rate of -.9

    Have you made default rate as -0.9 or pass rate as parameter based on the need? Can you please explain?
    Thank you.

  • The code works great, however, I don't understand how the residuals are calculated.  In the statement below why the residual is not the sum of the discounted cash flows:

     

    SELECT @nResidual = @nResidual + PmtAmount/ POWER((1.0+@nGuessRate),(DATEDIFF(d,@dtFirstPmtDate,PmtDate)/365.0))

    i.e. the following:

    SELECT @nResidual = SUM (@nResidual + PmtAmount/ POWER((1.0+@nGuessRate),(DATEDIFF(d,@dtFirstPmtDate,PmtDate)/365.0)) )

    In this example the subquery generates 3 records.  Not sure which one of the records triggers the while loop. But with a sum statement the residual the the discounted cash flow.  Interestingly, both statements (with and without the sum) produce the correct answer???

    Your view is much appreciated.
