Dear Friends,
I am building an excel database, where I have the date of IPO of more than 1000+ companies and I am interested to find the return after 365 days from the initial public offering. Example what's the stock return of company x which has IPO on the 1st of january 2015 to january 2016.
This is what I am building. if anyone could give me a formula, that would be amazing!!!
thanks!

If you're looking for a price return, you need the closing price on the date of the IPO and on the date a year after. E.g.
=100*TR("FB.O","TR.PriceClose","SDate:18-May-2013")/TR("FB.O","TR.PriceClose","SDate:18-May-2012")-100
Facebook stock lost 31.34% in the first year since IPO.
If you're looking for a total return, you can use
=TR("FB.O","TR.TotalReturn","SDate=18-May-2012 EDate=18-May-2013")
In case of Facebook the result is the same, since the company hasn't been paying dividends since it went public.
Ok I have tried with the 2nd formula you gave. However, I am getting "NULL".
=@TR($C$4,"TR.TotalReturn","SDate=#1 EDate=#2",,$F$4,$H$4)
$C$4= ticker
$H$4=end date
how can i solve this issue?
What are the values of ticker, start date and end date? To tell why a function returns a certain value one needs to know the exact inputs.
The ticker I have placed are RIC, start date and end date are in date format in Excel.
Example:
RIC= CWBR.OQ
IPO DATE= 06/01/2015 (dd/mm/yyyy)
END DATE= 06/01/2016
