Look in HELP for the RATE() function

maybe if you give your data and the expected answer, someone could help
you get the CAGR

Growth Rate)

I am sorry. The rate function will not work for this. The formula for the
function would look like this.
=(J7/F7)^(1/4 )-1 (NUMBER 4 REPRESENTS FOR the count of columns from J
column to F column excluding J column)
I would be happy if some one suggests a custom code for a formula named CAGR
 
Hi Srinivasan

What your formula is doing is basically, taking the first value (or PV), and
the last value (FV), and then from the total range, you want to calculate
the number of years i.e. from F7 to J7 it is 4 to calculate the annual rate.

You can use the rate function as follows:
=RATE(COUNT(F7:J7)-1,0,-F7,J7)

Hi,
here goes a code for a CAGR function I wrote.

Public Function CAGR(Base_Period, End_Period, Base_Value, End_Value)
CAGR = ((End_Value / Base_Value) ^ (1 / (End_Period - Base_Period))) - 1
End Function

hope it helps
