Time Range Start Period That is relative to current time period

TristanS

Current:

Time ranges require a fixed start period

Request:

Enable time range start to be setup relative to a specific period such the current time period. Also would be good if you can set up the start period with an offset. E.g. start period is current period minus 3 years.

What occurs in several of our models as that when we update the current year calendar, we have to update the time ranges as well. As the time ranges are generally relative to the current year.

For example, we would have the following types of time ranges:

• Forecast Period Time Range. This would be setup to have a start period = current time period
• Actual Period Time Range. This could be setup to have a start period = current time minus a fixed number of years. E.g. current period minus 2 years.

So found same idea had already been posted back in 2019. But now I can't delete this post lol. So if you support this idea just go to the one posted back in 2019. May be allow a user to delete their posted idea as well.
