Is there any function in Vensim which is the inverse of Delay Fixed function??? Actually, I want to read my next year data to the present year. Please help...

For dynamic variables, you can't do this. It would create what is known as an acausal model - i.e. it implies knowledge of the future. (You can however achieve the same thing via optimization.)

For data variables, you can look ahead. You can use the TIME SHIFT function, or GET VDF DATA to look ahead in the data series.

Depending on what exactly your need is, you might also be able to use the FORECAST function. TREND function is also related.
