You can enter data graphically to quickly create estimates.
You can work directly in the graph paper grid section to generate
data points for scenarios.
Procedure
- To plot a point on the graph, move the mouse pointer over
the grid area. The point is displayed at the location
of the mouse pointer. The value for the point is displayed on the
vertical axis. The time period for the point is displayed on the horizontal
axis.
- Move the mouse to the required value and time period coordinates
and click to enter the data point. This new data point is the likely,
or nominal, estimate for the required value.
- To enter a second data point, move the mouse pointer to
another time period on the grid. As you move the mouse pointer within
the grid area, the value and time axes update to indicate the data
point. Click to enter the data point.
- The investment analysis enters a new likely estimate and
draws a line between the first and second estimates. Any data between
the two estimates is added based on the trajectory of the connecting
line.
- Enter new data points by moving the mouse pointer and clicking
to capture the data points. The investment analysis editor draws a
smooth curve from the data points and adds data from your input.
