Used IRR formula in a Model but it is returning NaN as result whereas when Same numbers are given as a input to IRR formula in Excel it is returning a numbe
Hi,
Looking at the information you've provided it seems like that the formula is correct however you've not provided an estimate for the IRR (im not sure that this is needed or has any relevance) but you could try adding one and see if this makes any difference. The NaN is normally a result when a calculation calculates something infinite. This could be to do with the summary method. Have you tested the '8-1275-Mark-20/2/2019' to make sure the IRR is correct for this.
In the IRR example here - https://help.anaplan.com/anapedia/Content/Calculation_Functions/All/IRR.html?_ga=2.176266661.1219197203.1551085839-636186280.1545216924 the transactions have a top level / total whereas yours do not maybe you could try adding this.
I hope this helps!

Interesting!
If it is calculating the correct IRR for the others then it must be correct.
My other thoughts are that maybe the IRR calc has an upper limit to what can be calculated?
Could be worth contacting support@anaplan.com and seeing if this is a known anaplan issue?
Thanks,
Hi,You've done nothing wrong here, this is not working correctly.
I've tested this and this results is unexpected, it is being raised with our development teams.
As a workaround you can use a timerange instead of the date value.Using IRR(Source.Cashflow) which gives the value 49,665.2%(you will need to give Terms a top level)
Hi @MarkWarren
Will you post here to let us know once this is issue is resolved?

Hi Vamshi,
Change the module Timescale to "Year" Format.
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
