Cycle 3650

Gary Beardsley

Hi Board Platform

Does anyone know what "Cycle 3650" does? I attach the details of the dataflow where I found this. There's a selection on 40 months (I assume all picked) prior to the dataflow

Hi Gary

The choice of an offset of 3560 (that happens to be 356 x 10) may indicate that the intent is to cumulate over the last 10 years to selected date. But the cubes are weekly, so that'd be 70 years: so most likely this calculates from the beginning of time (well of the time range) to the selected period. In this case I would rather use a cycle of 9999 to clarify the intent.

Hi,
In the Board Manual, you can get more information about Cycle at the below link under the Time Functions.

Thanks,

Hello,

a huge cycle like this is, in most cases, used to create an overal cumulated value. Normaly the cumulation is "reset" (will start again) after the amount of periods defined in the cycle
