Examples
In this example, an income statement module has line items on rows, time on columns, and versions on pages. The model has three versions: Budget, Actual, and Forecast, in that order. The page selector is set to the Actual version.
The formula in the Forecast Revenue Costs line item uses the NEXTVERSION function to retrieve the value of Revenue Costs from the Forecast version, which is the next version.
