When you start Predictive Planning in Microsoft Excel 2007 or later, the Predictive Planning ribbon is added to the ribbon bar (Figure 1, Predictive Planning Ribbon).
Button groups are as follows:
Run—Sets form preferences and runs predictions
View—Displays and manages views of results
Analyze—Filters and pastes results, creates reports, and extracts data to the spreadsheet
Help—Displays online help and information about this version of Predictive Planning.
Note:
If you have an appropriate license for Oracle Crystal Ball, select Help, and then Launch Crystal Ball to open Oracle Crystal Ball for simulation and optimization analysis (see http://www.oracle.com/crystalball for details).
A tooltip identifies each button when you point to it.
In Microsoft Excel 2003, the Predict menu offers similar commands (Figure 2, Predictive Planning Menu).
For online help and information about Predictive Planning, select Help, and then Predictive Planning.
For a list of shortcut keys (keyboard equivalents of buttons and commands), see the Oracle Hyperion Planning Predictive Planning Accessibility Guide, or similar accessibility guide in the Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service.
