Extracting Capability Metrics Automatically

  You can automatically extract capability metrics whenever a simulation runs. To extract metrics automatically:

  1. In a forecast window, choose Preferences, then Forecast and display the Auto Extract tab of the Forecast Preferences dialog.

  2. Check Extract Forecast Statistics Automatically... and scroll down to the bottom of the data selection list.

  3. Check Capability Metrics, enter a Starting Cell, and then click OK.

Now, when you run a simulation, capability metrics are written to the specified area of the worksheet, along with any other data you have requested.

Note:

For more information about the Auto Extract feature, see Auto Extract Tab. IMPORTANT! Be sure to choose an open area of the worksheet as the Starting Cell to avoid overwriting the model.
