Description

We’ve just released HyperFormula 3.2.0, bringing improvements in two key areas: expanded Excel function coverage and large-scale computation support.

This update is especially relevant for teams using HyperFormula as a calculation engine in financial systems, analytics platforms, or AI-powered applications that depend on Excel-compatible formula semantics.

New Excel functions: IRR, VALUE and N

In this release, we expanded function coverage with three new functions: IRR, VALUE, and N to better support Excel-based projects, especially those involving financial calculations and explicit type conversion.

  • IRR: Native support for Internal Rate of Return, enabling direct evaluation of financial models without custom implementations.
  • VALUE: Converts text to numeric values using Excel parsing rules, reducing the need for manual data cleaning.
  • N: Implements Excel-consistent type coercion, improving determinism in advanced formulas.
Improved Scalability

We’ve refined the dependency graph architecture to remove reliance on JavaScript’s Map size limits. HyperFormula has now been validated on datasets exceeding 30 million cells, confirming stable operation at that scale.
