Plan Scenarios

You can use plan scenarios to create different scenarios, versions, or snapshots of a plan. This can be useful if you want to keep a record of different cases or perform what-if analyses.

When you create a plan, it contains a single scenario named Initial. You can modify the initial scenario and create new scenarios from it. Each new scenario is an independent copy of the scenario that it was created from. Any further changes that you make in one scenario are not reflected in other scenarios.

Note:

If a scenario contains cell comments, the comments are not copied to new scenarios created from it.

Every plan has a default scenario. This is the scenario that displays when you open a plan. When you create a plan, the Initial scenario is set at the default scenario.

In addition, the default scenario is used in calculations that reference another plan when a scenario is not specified for the other plan. You can also add calculations that reference a specific scenario in the same plan or in another plan. For more information, see Referencing Plans in Formula Builder.
