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!

Thanks for the reply!
I did try with an estimate but like you said it did not make a difference.

Yes I tried IRR for '8-1275-Mark-20/2/2019' in excel and it gave me exact answer as anaplan.
I tried with top level also but it did not change anything.

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)

It should be in the Platform release notes when it gets released, best to check there on each release.

When I put Time range I am getting all the months in each year. That is making it cumbersome.

A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
