Re: [GNC] Calculating IRR of an investment account
As for exporting the correct data for the XIRR function in OpenOffice Calc or Excel, the trick is to use the account filtering feature of the transaction report to exclude any internal transactions within the investment account (such as reinvested dividends, etc); only external transactions (money in money out) need to be included for the XIRR calculation, along with (separately) adding the current value of the account at the bottom. Which accounts need to be included or excluded depends on your account structure and how investment contributions, income, expenses and distributions are recorded, so it's not easy to give specific advice without knowing that. Also worth noting that typically you have to reverse signs on the numbers because the XIRR function expects negative numbers for money in but positive for money out. You can just multiply by -1 in your spreadsheet to easily do that.

Re: [GNC] Calculating IRR of an investment account
GnuCash doesn't even claim to have an IRR calculation, so exporting to a spreadsheet is the only option. The advanced portfolio report does have "rate of gain" and "rate of return" columns but they're really just percent return, independent of holding period or timing of cash flows.

Personally, I don't necessarily trust what some program may call the IRR... if I wanted to calculate it, I would export the necessary data to a spreadsheet and then use the spreadsheet's power to calculate it.

Re: [GNC] Calculating IRR of an investment account
I long ago turned off auto-saving drafts for that very reason. Mail.app on MacOS does the same. It will auto-save while you are typing at various stages and you'll end up with multiple drafts of the same in-progress message. I consider that a bug for both apps. I see neither has been addressed in many, many, years. If I need to put a message 'down' for later completion before sending, it costs me nothing to click the 'save draft' button compared to cleaning up the app's mess.

Re: [GNC] Calculating IRR of an investment account
ChatGPT and other 'AI' bots are merely really fancy auto-complete. They produce 'plausible' text, but they have no concept of accuracy or any understanding of the meanings of any of the words used. I have no fear of them because I understand that is what they are. My fear is that others think those bots are more capable than they are, and thus ascribe any degree of reliance upon them. If you have a really large data set of strings, and want various types of averages - they are a good use case. Everything else?—no.

I have tried the manual without much success, and tried two different AIs [ChatGPT and Nova] but both give me instructions that don't seem to exist, such as : 1. Click on the "Reports" menu and select "New Report". 2. In the "Report Type" dropdown, select "Transaction". 3. Click on the "Add Column" button to add the columns you want to include in your report. For example, you could add "Date", "Description", "Amount", and "Memo" columns. 4. Click on the "Grouping" dropdown and select "Date". 5. In the "Filter" section, set the date range for the period you want to calculate the IRR for. 6. Click on the "Customize Report" button to open the report customization panel. 7. In the "Computation" section, click on the "Add" button to add a new computation to your report. 8. In the "Computation" dropdown, select "Internal Rate of Return (IRR)". New report I take to be a new transaction report, but I can't see any add column button, customize report or computation options. Am I missing something, or is AI as stupid as me?
