Hi,
I would like to know how I can input the first number that I need my Previous Function to read from. I know I need to add to the formula but not sure what to do. Please advice. Images attached.
Thank you

Are you looking for the ability to specify which previous value you would like to pull into a cell?
If so, use the OFFSET function and specify the number of time periods in the past you wish to pull across.
What is that value supposed to be, a zero since I believe it is the first period of your Time Calendar? If so, use Lag() as the last parameter can be used as the default.

Hi @neg177
If the previous hints won't help please try this.
In my understanding, you want some initial numbers in the very first period of your timescale.
For that, I would use a separate module with no time scale but the rest dimensions are the same. Then edit your formula to have an IF THEN function where you would refer to this new module if a period is the first one.
The formula should be like this:
IF START() = <a new line item with initial period> THEN <new module> ELSE PREVIOUS(Ending RTR Balance)

You actually even can combine with the previous answers.
Both OFFSET and LAG function have this last argument "Substitute value".
OFFSET(Value to offset, Number of periods, Substitute value)
LAG(Value to offset, Offset amount, Substitute value [, Non-positive behavior])
You can add <new module> as your substituted value.

I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context and…
