L2 1.5.5 Activity: Create Time Range - Create an FY19 Time Range

JGerloff93

Hello All, 

 

Creating a New Time Range for the above L2 excercise; however, it does not appear that I am allowed to choose a start period that am I am being asked to do (see below screenshots). 

 

My suspicion is that the Model Calendar settings drive this behavior; however, the Introduction to Time Ranges video did not seem to call this out and I am fearful of breaking my model. Thanks for any advice!

 

The request: 

 

 

My New Time Range Options: 

 

Model Calendar settings:

Yes, the Model Calendar will drive some of the options in the Time Ranges tab.  You have your Model Calendar set to Months/Quarts/Years, but it needs to be "Weeks: 4-4-4, 4-5-4 or 5-4-4" for the L2 model.  After you change the Calendar Type you'll see a line below to select the "Week Grouping into Months / Qtrs" and that should be "4-4-5".  Once you make these changes you should be able to select the Starting Period you're looking for in your Time Range.
