Introduction

A time series list is a list building block that can be used for the X axis of charts that show/compare periods. Since most reports use a chart with time series, this parameter type occurs on most reports. The parameter ´time series list´ is considered as an advanced parameter because it normally it can be left to default. Typical examples for a time ´time series list´ are:

Last 6 months (dynamic list based on @@CUR, @@CUR-1, etc.)
Last 12 months
Current year (Fixed list with members like Jan, Feb, etc.)

CONTENT

Most used dimensions for a ´time series list´ are Period and Year, but also dimensions like scenario and view can be used in a ´time series list´.
