Return to Financial Consolidation Model Overview.
The Month_YTD dimension holds figures in monthly granularity. All figures are stored as Year-To-Date figures which is the range of beginning of the fiscal year until the end of each month. The dimension is created and maintained through the Time Editor.
Some of the settings are mandatory for the models to work correctly, as indicated in the table below. Please note that the settings for “Past”, “Future” and “Fiscal Year Start” should be set up according to the “Day” Dimension.
