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.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi :)
Sorry i am not completely clear about 2 crucial things
1.  What is the string as is?  
2.  What is the suggested alternative?

I couldn't find the Oasis definitions and i loathe looking through MS Office 
anything.  The link given seems to be specifically about healthcare but may not 
have been written by someone that really knows what they are talking about.  I 
tried looking for something more generic and found this hopelessly detailed 
page in wikipedia

also this unclear (and also long-winded) definition
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/actuarial-valuation.asp

Would it be safer to just rewrite the equation it uses but rewrite in English?

Acturial value is mostly used in finance and insurance.

Actuarial value is a measure of the percentage of expected health care
costs a specific health plan will cover for the "standard" population.
Actuarial value is generally calculated using the ratio of:

*the total expected payments by the plan for essential health benefits*
*__ *

*the total expected costs of the "standard" population for essential health
benefits *

It´s the discipline that uses statistis and math in the way to determine
risk and income (cash flow) and try to estabilish te present value of
future cash flows. In a way it´s similar to TIR.

I also think that string should be as ODFF states. My translation states
that way. I must say that many of descriptions were changed in my
translations.

   You're so right  :-)

   But to simplify even further, how about having it read, To compute
the internal rate of return - profit.

I for one studied economics and had a hard time finding out waht actuarial
means... As far as I understood it it's math based on statistics and
probabilities.
That can be in some way applied to this formula, but it's
t complicated description. Why can't it be just
like it's in Oasis and MS Office?

That can be in some way applied to this formula, but it's 
t complicated description. Why can't it be
