Hi :) Thanks :) I think Computes the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows
is a minor improvement on the 2nd one. Neither make any sense to me but some background reading about the topic made it clear i would never understand enough to get a short simple sentence. The 2nd one suggests that the function can handle a number of inputs and then generate a single output value. The first suggests that you have got to put in several different parameters in order to get a single output value.
