Common questions about IRR in WPS on Windows focus on errors, result checking, and filling formulas across multiple cells; this section includes 3 frequent questions and a glossary.
FAQ
What should I do if the IRR function shows #VALUE!?
- Check whether the referenced cells contain text, extra spaces, or other non-numeric content.
- Make sure the calculation range contains valid numeric values.
- Clean the invalid content, then re-enter or confirm the formula.
Why does the IRR result look different from what I expected?
- Check whether the referenced range is correct and whether the cash flow order is correct.
- Make sure the data includes both outgoing and incoming cash flows.
- If needed, review the
guessargument or inspect the related cell values again.
How do I use the IRR function in multiple cells?
