Determining chart periods: example
Scenario start date: March 1 Scenario finish date: April 30 Chart start date: March 20 Period length: 14 days
The scenario is divided into the following periods:
Period | From | To |
1 | March 1 | March 14 |
2 | March 15 | March 28 |
3 | March 29 | April 12 |
4 | April 13 | April 27 |
5 | April 28 | April 30 |
The requested start date for the chart is in period 2. Therefore, LN creates a chart that starts at the beginning of period 2, that is, on March 15.
This example shows that the last period can actually be shorter than the normal period length.
