How to define a Date range for Assumptions
Last updated
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.
The Dates step will only be shown when creating new Assumptions. If you are editing multiple Assumptions, the time range for the Assumptions will be automatically detected.
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.
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.
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.
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.
