IRR calculation: have excel IRR function choose the amount of cells depending on the projection years input box

I am trying to create a template that I can use for certain type of modeling to automate things.

One of the things I need in there is an IRR calculation. I have currently set it up that the dates populate off the projection year input cell. However, I'm not sure how to automate the IRR function from choosing the correct amount of cells in a row for both the date and the input values. I do not know macros, so I was wondering if there was another way of doing this? Thanks

mossy695Example:

Dates in an array from C4:C85 Cash flows in an array from D4:D85 Date input cell in I2 Formula is: =IRR(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("D4:D",MATCH(I2,C4:C85)+3)))

That or you can be normal and use xirr.

 

xirr still need an input range. I don't like indirects personally but mossy's approach probably works - i'd do something like (using same setup as above)

=XIRR(D4:offset(D4,0,I2-1),C4:offset(C4,0,I2-1))
