Dear Model Builders,
Please refer my attachd Opening Capex code which I believe not referring to the previous month's closing capex correctly.
Appreciate your help on finding the cause of error and possible solutions.
Thanks
Hi @TD1,
Simplifying the formula will make it easier to understand and troubleshoot, while also reducing the calculation effort % of this line item and improving your model's performance. This line item probably has high calculation effort due to multiple nested IF statements. Here are a few suggestions:
2. Consider separating ITEM(FV01 Versions) in your versions system module if you have 10+ versions.
3. Try to move this part to a system module, too.
These will make the formula easier to fix.
I hope this helps.

Here is an example of how a simple If+Boolean formula optimization can reduce the calculation effort:
Formatted Sales 2 Formula - Calculation Effort = 27%
IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Thousands THEN Sales / 1000 ELSE IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Millions THEN Sales / 1000000 ELSE Sales
IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Thousands
THEN Sales / 1000
ELSE IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Number Unit Input = 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.Millions
THEN Sales / 1000000
ELSE Sales
Formatted Sales 1 Formula - Calculation Effort = 60%
IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.'Input = Thousand?' THEN Sales in Thousands ELSE IF 'SYS01 Sales Number Units'.'Input = Millions?' THEN Sales In Millions ELSE Sales
I'd like to note that calculation effort can fluctuate depending on factors like early exit logic, but the main idea here is keeping formulas short and clean improves performance and makes them easier to read.
Hope this helps! Seyma 🌷🙂
If you want to match numbers, try using PREVIOUS.
PREVIOUS('DEP10 Closing Capex')
Something like this:
IF 'SYS02 Time'.Is First Month THEN [Your IF-ELSE logic here] ELSE PREVIOUS('DEP10 Closing Capex')
Hi, I have a form action button that adds a L5 list item to a hierarchy. L5 does not have selective access but L4 does, but I still see all L4 list items in the dropdown when I trigger the form. How can I only view the ones I should have selective access to? L5 does not have selective access. L4 is also a selector on this…
For auditing purpose I need RTO and RPO details. Could you please share the details and also along with the source URL.
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
