About the TimeDataView dimension
Planning Business Modeler generates a TimeDataView dimension for each model that you create. The TimeDataView dimension contains summary values for specified periods, such as YTD, and a cumulative summary, Todate, for each account in the model. That is, the TimeDataView dimension offers the following two views of an account:
Periodic view. Gives the incremental numbers of the period for the account.
Cumulative view. Gives the sum of all previous periods for the account.
Dimension members
The following table shows the members of the TimeDataView dimension. These members are automatically created by Planning Business Modeler.
