 - Avoid using ISERROR or IFERROR functions to capture an error returned by XIRR. If some inputs to the function may result in a no solution error, providing an alternateResult parameter is the most reliable and highest performing way to handle the error.
 
 - To learn more about using the alternateResult parameter, be to check out this [video](https://www.microsoft.com/videoplayer/embed/RWLzrC).

+- When the absolute value of initial payment is small, the calculation likely fails to return a valid result.

+- Avoid including 0 values in payments. They will not impact the final result, and using 0 as initial payment will fail XIRR() calculation always.
