Hello, I've set up the UD-Macro CBAfterSimulation according to the manual and checked the according box in Run-Preferences, but when the simualtion stops it...
Hi, I have an interesting problem that requires the forecast of one simulation to become the assumption for another simulation. Normally, I would just create...
Hi, I'd like to know if any compatibility problem between CB 7.2 and BC 7.3 has been reported. We are considering the migration from version 7.2 to version 7.3...
Please refer to the migration document on our web site: http://www.crystalball.com/support/installation/cb7migration.html ... Subject: [CBUG] New CB 7.3 From:...
Hi, The issue you are dealing with is continuous versus discrete data, which is a feature selection in a decision variable, but not the assumption or forecast...
Hi William, no the syntax was alright. I found out that it won't work in the Workbook Codepage/Module but only in a Worksheet Module. Thanks for your help! H....
Hi, We have a complex Montecarlo model for the yearly budget on Crystal Ball 7.2. We have modelled the budget of every business unit. One of the business units...
Hi, Does anyone know why the sensitivity data you get when you use the Extract Data menu option is different to the data you get via the sensitivity charts? ...
Hello, I would strongly suggest to look at OptQuest - he solver which comes with Crystal Ball Pro. You are actually trying to solve a stochastic optimization...
Hi, For the sensitivity data, there is 2 types. One is the variance and the other is the correlation. When you extract the data, the value is the correlation...
Hi, Actually, the two types of sensitivity analysis parameters show in Crystal Ball are based on the same calculations. More precisely, the numbers in the ...
Hi, A minor correction to Huybert's post: "contribution to variance" values are the normalized SQUARES of the rank correlation coefficients. Also, I sometimes...
Hello Mikel, For very large stochastic optimization models like this one, a single machine may not provide enough computational horsepower to meet your needs....
I agree with Eric's comment but I have another question. Why aren't you using the optimizer that Crystal Ball provides? _________________________ Jay April,...
Hello Jay, We have two main reasons not to use Opquest: 1) We get the model already built with another optimizer and cannot change it since we are not...
Mikel, Hi there, with OptQuest in CB other than identifying potential variable and objective cells, no model changes are necessary. The "Final Value" statistic...
Thanks for all your replies. I think I have used the correct data. As a layman I am indeed interested in contribution to variance. I still don't quite...
Hello, Although I'm not in the legal profession, I am allied with several boards and teams where we produce CB reports to mitigate (or avoid) litigation risk....
Hi Emisky, Risk analysis is actually used a fair bit in legal situations. We have for example been involved in quite a few court cases as a risk analyst and ...
Hi Rachel, A distribution that is not at all related to a forecast can still have a correlation coefficient different than 0, just based on pure change. If you...
Hi, For one of my clients, I used CB to simulate a business plan for a new law firm. Many of the variables you mention were included in our simulation. The...
Matt, I've been thinking about your question and would ask about possibly truncating the forecast results using the filtering capability in the define forecast...
Hi, here is a basic question which has been bothering me for some time -- are there any rules of thumb for choosing a discount rate when calculating NPV for a...
Hi, my opinnion is that you have to distinguish between systematic and non-systematic risk. When you assign input variables to your model you´re in general...
My suggestion for a discount rate is to consider the opportunity cost of the capital that is put at risk in the investment. In other words, if instead of ...
Hi Lingyai_cb, You raise an issue that falls in our list of 'top 10 most common mistakes' (or said it another way, '10 must knows'). In fact among others, I'll...
Down here is the response professor Ignacio Velez Pareja (http://www.cashflow88.com/) gave me about this topic: WACC measures the systematic risk through beta...
Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to help with some of my customer's that use Crystal Ball. We have three installations in our environment and they are...
