When I finish the model and try to simulate I got the following message so what is that mean ?

ERROR: The variable- auxilliary enterprise revenue -and perhaps others require a data file be specified.
ERROR: Unable to correctly load in exogenous values - aborting.

Thank u very much

sounds like the variable "enterprise revenue" has been specified as an external DATA type, ie it has no equation and its values will be contained in a separate vdf file.

You need to put the name of the vdf file containing its values in the "Data Sources" entry, under the Advanced tab on the simulation control dialogue box.

The variable would be named "auxilliary enterprise revenue" not "enterprise revenue" if it is not visible on a view then you can put it on one using the Shadow Variable sketch tool.
