Obtaining statistics for specific time period

Post by kaveh.dianati »

Hello,

I have a model which runs from 1980 to 2060 (40 years into the past and 40 years into the future). I would like to use the Statistics tool to obtain summary statistics but only for the future period (2020-2060). Is there a way of doing that?

I tried the Statistics tool menu but there doesn't seem to exist an option to set a specific time range. Just wanted to check if I am missing something.

Many thanks,
Kaveh.

No there is no way to do it. You will need to export to Excel and calculate the stats there.

An alternative might be to calculate what you need in the model itself.

Not so. You can use the Time Axis control in the Control Panel to restrict the period of interest, then use the stats tool as usual.
