LBO - Sensitivity

Hi all, every time I do a LBO and find the right answer (corrected version available) my sensitivities always seem off (not showing the same irr / Moic as in returns calc with same entry / exit multiple. Excel settings seem fine (iteration and automatic calc for all incl data tables are on). Could you help? Have a test soon

One of the common mistakes is to forget that all data (row and column) serving as input in your table must be hard coded. For example, if you are doing a sensitivity on an exit multiple, you can’t link your input to the initial input in your model, you need to hard code it.

If the table is set correctly, this is the only trick I know that may help. Good luck !
