There is a DAX XIRR function which works great. However, when considering equal time periods such as monthly or yearly, the XIRR results are very close but not exact to what we would get if we were using the Excel IRR functions. It would be very helpful to have an IRR function which works similarly to the Excel IRR function.

RE: Create an IRR function

Moreover, the XIRR () DAX function often returns, "The XIRR function couldn't find a solution" when it works perfectly fine in Excel with identical data. This is a well known bug in Power BI.

Microsoft's response is that Power BI's implementation is different than Excels. This is not a satisfactory answer.
