Hi Mark
Try the formula below.
X marks the last bar of each year except when
on the last bar of data.
Y converts the N/A plotted by X on the
last data bar to 0.
Z marks the last bar of each year or the last bar
of data.
A returns the most recent end-of-year
value.
B returns the previous end-of-year
value.
The output line creates a percentage to two
decimal places from A while eliminating potential divide-by-zero errors and
skewed results should B initially return a spurious zero.
This code is essentially just 1 of the 22 display
options available using the Trade Equity Display option. TE would be overkill
for your situation but unless I'm missing something this extract should do the
trick. Check the results anyway.
{Annual % Rate Of Return}
X:=Year()<>Ref(Year(),+1); Y:=ExtFml("Forum.Sum",X,1); Z:=Y
OR
Cum(1)=LastValue(Cum(1)); A:=ValueWhen(1,Z,C); B:=ValueWhen(2,Z,C); PREC(100*(A-B)*(B<>0)/(Abs(B)+(B=0)),2);
Regards
Roy
