Hello Pigment Community,

If I update my calendar start date from Jan 2016 to Jan 2021, will it impact the assumptions I’ve already entered for different scenarios? Will I lose any input data because of this change?

Thank you!

Hi,

 

Yes you will, Pigment will recalculate the metrics as per the new calendar, which will start in 2021.

But you will have saved these with a snapshot of course !

 

Warning: if you have input assumptions in FY16 first month and used PREVIOUS() to propagate them, you will loose that and have to input again

If your scenarios are locked, they should be fine. The working scenario will however be impacted.
