Date Display

Post by klaus »

Hi,

in Vensim i have defined time bounds from 0 to 36 month. Then i selected the corresponding Date displays (2018-01-01, 2018-02-01, 2018-03-01,...)
It works fine in Vensim. But in Sable (Graphs and Tables) the original time lables (0 to 36) are shown.

Thanks for your support

Sable cannot pick up the time bounds from the Vensim model. But I should be able to limit them in a future version of Sable.

Thanks for your quick reply.

So there is no way in Sable displaying Date labels instead of Time labels in graphics and tables like in Vensim?

Best regards

Can you give me an example of what you want to display?

Are you using a Sable table or an embedded Vensim one?

Sorry for the delay.

You will need some extra parameters in your model (year, month of year, day of year). Once you have these, you can insert a row in a Sable table, go to the "Format" tab and select "Use Custom Series". In here, type something like
@year@-@month of year@-@day of year@

This should give you the output you need.

You might also need to play with the number formats
@year,%.0f@-@month of year,%.0f@-@day of year,%.0f@
