data table help

how come when I try to build a data table with purchase price on one side and revenue growth on the other (for IRR calculations), the data table spits out all the same numbers? I tried changing the purchase price and revenue growth in the actual model and it changed my IRR. but the data table spits out the same numbers. Anyone else has the problem?

 

Obviously hard to say without seeing the actual file, but I find this happens when iterations are turned off. Not sure if you have them on or off, but go into tools->options->"Enable Iterative Calculation" needs to be checked.

 

1) is the data table on the same sheet as the input #s / cells? if not, do that

2) try closing excel and reopening and then hit f9 again (make sure you don't have row and columns mixed up)

There's a good chance your problem is caused by,

A. you linked one of your input cells wrong, or maybe your reference cell

B. you need to hardcode your beginning value for drivers, which would be purchase price and revenue in your case. If your drivers for your data table are linked to other parts of your model, the data table often messes up the calculation.

 

Why is this the case for B? I am running a sensitivity table where one axis is Exit Multiple. Exit Multiple is calculated off of "another table" that I have (details irrelevant). If I link both the Exit Multiple flowing through the model, and the Exit Multiple in my data table, to the "another table" I'm using to calculate the Exit Multiple in the first place, then it #REFs out. Can someone explain?

 

The cell that you're selecting for your change in exit year is probably not actually driving your returns. In other words, is your model dynamic such that when you change your exit year, it automatically pulls the right EBITDA, exit multiple, debt and cash, etc, which is then feeding into calculation of your IRR in your data table? It'd be a lot easier to diagnose if you uploaded the actual excel file though.
