Configure the model calendar type to Weeks: General if your source data is daily or weekly. If your data uses a custom fiscal year, use this calendar.

Note: PlanIQ doesn't support calendar periods in the data, such as P1 FY15.

To configure Weeks: General:

  1. Select Time  in the model settings bar.
  2. Select Weeks: General from Calendar Type dropdown.
  3. For your source data and forecast results, use these settings:
    • Start Date: Select the start date for your historical date time period.
    • Number of Weeks: Enter the total number of weeks that cover the time period of your historical data plus the length of your forecast horizon.
    • Current Period: Select your current period from the dropdown.
  4. Select Apply.
    Make sure you always adjust your model calendar settings so they cover the length of your historical data and forecast horizon.

For additional information about the model calendar settings, see Set the Weeks: General calendar.
