* Refinement for XIRR Fix #2469. The algorithm used for XIRR is known not to converge in some cases, some of which are because the value is legitimately unsolvable; for others, using a different guess might help. The algorithm uses continual guesses at a rate to hopefully converge on the solution. The code in Python package xirr (https://github.com/tarioch/xirr/) suggests a refinement when this rate falls below -1. Adopting this refinement solves the problem for the data in issue 2469 without any adverse effect on the existing tests. My thanks to @tarioch for that refinement. The data from 2469 is, of course, added to the test cases. The user also mentions that an initial guess equal to the actual result doesn't converge either. A test is also added to confirm that that case now works. The test cases are changed to run in the context of a spreadsheet rather than by direct calls to XIRR calculation routine. This revealed some data validation errors which are also cleaned up with this PR. This suggests that other financial tests might benefit from the same change; I will look into that. * More Unit Tests From https://github.com/RayDeCampo/java-xirr/blob/master/src/test/java/org/decampo/xirr/XirrTest.java https://github.com/tarioch/xirr/blob/master/tests/test_math.py Note that there are some cases where the PHP tests do not converge, but the non-PHP tests do. I have confirmed in each of those cases that Excel does not converge, so the PhpSpreadsheet results are good, at least for now. The discrepancies are noted in comments in the test member. |

PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet master branch.
Do you need to migrate? There is an automated tool for that.
