She has $20,000 to invest today at 9% to pay a debt of $47,347. How many
years will it take her to accumulate enough to liquidate the debt? I tried
NPER and got an error. How do I use this function properly?

Did you get the #NUM! error?

If so, most likely you did not follow the conventions regarding SIGN of the
