Time dimension per version

Besides the features Switchover period and Edit from... to... offered in version settings, I would welcome the possibility to edit the time dimension per version. As for now all versions automatically take all time dimension cells. By customizing the time dimension per version, one could really reduce the model size for certain setups. Let me give a simple example, where each version happens at a different time during the year:

 

Versions and implied time needed:

Actuals: Current and last year

EOY Forecast: Current year

Budget next year: Next year

Strategic plan:  latest FC + Budget + [ Y+2 , Y+5 ]

 

As you can see this setup forces the users to set the time dimension to Y-1 until Y+5, however not every version will need this broad dimensions. Therefore by limiting the time cells stored by versions, one could reduce the model size and optimize performance for calculation modules.

 

Open for feedback on the idea.

 

Kind regards,

Mickel
