IRR error in Numbers

I'm getting an error while calculating IRR in Numbers saying, "IRR can't be currency." I have tried remove currency for the respective cells, putting them on automatic; however, the issue persists. I have also tried different possibilities e.g., entering amount without comma, with comma, with and without $.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!


PS: It's MacOS 10.9.5 (13F34)

IRR takes this form:



So you want something like this:



=IRR(B35:G35,10%)


As you can see the function works with cells formatted as Currency.


There is something strange, though, with your currency formatting. US$ usually takes the form where the , is the thousands separator.


It seems that you have very large positive cash flows after only a small initial cash outflow. I would guess that is not realistic.
