Time series specifications include the following:
Inputs can be specified for any time period (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly, or sub-hourly).
Consistency of input formats to resolve variables to any time period.
Relevant inputs are prefixed with clear acronyms to allow immediate or cascaded resolution (e.g., “YR_”, “HR_”, etc.).
To input a Time Series:
In desired cell, enter time series prefix followed by the corresponding ID (e.g., "YR_001).
Time series variables can be referenced directly or cascade down through time. Cascading hierarchies are as follows:
- Annual to Monthly
- Annual to Monthly to Weekly
- Annual to Weekly
- Annual to Hourly
For values that cascade from monthly to weekly, the weekly values will repeat with the same pattern for the entire month.

Referencing a Computational Dataset (CDS):
Any input table column that can reference a time series can also reference a CDS table. See Referencing CDS Tables for more information.
NOTE: CDS references to the Time Series Generic table are not allowed.
