Assumption Dates Step
How to define a Date range for Assumptions
Overview
If creating new Assumptions manually, you will need to specify a date range for the Assumptions. By default the date range is set to the Timings of the Model (e.g. one Assumption per period).
If the Unit for your Assumptions is Constant (i.e. no part of the Unit varies with time), the Dates step will not be shown.
Entry type
Dates can be entered with an automatically generated series of dates, or a manually entered list of dates.
Instructions for each of these options are below.
Date entry
Automatically generated
Start Date / End Date / Number of intervals
Enter the Start date, number of intervals, and End date for the series. The format of date entry depends on the period type of the Model (see details here).
Editing any two of these three inputs will automatically update the third.
Intervals between dates
By default, assumptions will be generated for each period between the start date and end date. You can opt to change this interval: e.g., to generate an assumption for every fourth period, you would enter 4.
Manual batch entry
If you select Manual batch entry, you will be presented with a text box in which you can type/paste a list of dates, which must be in the correct format, as shown in the example screenshot below.
You must include a line break in between each date.
