Converting Models with CB.Get... Functions Defined as Forecasts

Users of Crystal Ball 7.0 or earlier versions occasionally used the CB.Get... functions in forecast cells to include current data, for example, in an optimization. If you try to use one of these models in Oracle Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer with Extreme Speed, the model will generate compatibility errors.

To change these models so they are compatible with Extreme Speed, remove the CB.Get... functions from forecast cells. Instead, use the Auto Extract tab in the expanded Define Forecast dialog or Forecast Preferences dialog to automatically extract forecast data to another cell following a simulation. Then you can reference that cell in a forecast formula to retain compatibility while using current data.

If you do not want to make these changes but still want to run the model in Normal speed, you will need to clear Stop On Calculation Errors in the Run Preferences dialog to continue running despite the calculation errors (#VALUE's) that will occur for many of the returned statistics in the first 5 to 10 trials of the simulation.
