CAGR rate in Excel Power Query

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 91

Hi,

 

I'm trying to calculate the CAGR rate using power query but running into a brick wall!  In PowerBi I believe this is the correct formula...

 

CAGR = ([Ending Value]/[Beginning Value])^(1/[# of Years])-1

 ....but in Excel, Power Query doesn't seem to recognise the ^ symbol.  Has anyone had any success calculating CAGR through Power Query before, can't find much about it online!

 

Thanks

    Found a solution, for anyone else who may ever be looking for one!

     

    Used the Number.Power function under the Scientific option and just changed the formula 

    Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns1", "Power", each Number.Power([End]/[Start], 1/[CAGR Yrs])-1, Int64.Type)
