About This Feature
Overview
The MIRR function in WPS Spreadsheet is a financial formula used to calculate the modified internal rate of return for a series of periodic cash flows. It is useful for investment analysis, project evaluation, and cash flow modeling because it considers both the financing cost and the reinvestment return rate.
Core tasks in this guide include:
- Insert the MIRR function from the Insert Function dialog when you want guided parameter entry.
- Type
=MIRR(...)directly in a cell or the formula bar for faster formula input. - Review the
MIRR(values, finance_rate, reinvest_rate)syntax and parameter meanings before calculation.
This function is suitable for finance worksheets, teaching examples, and reusable spreadsheet templates. For valid results, the cash flow series should include both positive and negative values and follow the actual order of occurrence.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports MIRR(values, finance_rate, reinvest_rate) in WPS Spreadsheet for modified internal rate of return calculations, with both Insert Function and direct formula entry workflows. | Excel provides the MIRR function for the modified internal rate of return of periodic cash flows and uses the same syntax structure. | Google Sheets provides the MIRR function for periodic cash flows with financing and reinvestment rates. | Notion formulas support calculations, logic, and property-based expressions, but the official formula reference does not document a spreadsheet-style MIRR financial function. | Adobe Acrobat supports calculated fields in PDF forms, which are useful for form-based calculations, but it is not a spreadsheet formula environment for MIRR. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can enter MIRR directly in worksheet cells. Distinct: WPS also provides an Insert Function dialog for guided parameter entry and syntax review. | Compared with WPS: Excel also supports MIRR and is similarly suited to spreadsheet-based financial analysis. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports MIRR, with a stronger browser-based collaboration focus. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database property formulas rather than cell-based financial worksheet functions. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form calculations instead of spreadsheet financial functions such as MIRR. |
| Official Source | — | MIRR function | MIRR | Formula syntax and functions | Advanced form fields |
Overall Conclusion: If your main task is entering and calculating financial formulas in a worksheet, WPS, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets all cover MIRR-style scenarios. Compared with Notion and Adobe Acrobat, WPS is closer to a traditional spreadsheet workflow for direct cell-based financial analysis.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How WPS helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Investment return analysis | Finance staff | You need a return metric that reflects financing cost and reinvestment rate together | Use MIRR to calculate a return rate that is closer to practical funding conditions |
| 2 | Classroom and training demos | Teachers and students | You need to show formula syntax and parameter meanings clearly | Use Insert Function to review parameters and complete example input |
| 3 | Reusable finance templates | Office users | You need to reuse the same return formula across multiple worksheets | Type =MIRR(...) directly and copy the formula to other cells |
