After you have defined assumption and forecast cells — and, optionally, decision variable cells — in a worksheet model, you are ready to run a simulation. During the simulation, Crystal Ball creates a forecast chart for each forecast cell using frequency distributions to show the range of possible results.
During a Crystal Ball simulation, you can stop, reset, and continue the simulation at any time and manipulate the forecast charts independently, displaying or hiding them as needed. You can use the Crystal Ball Control Panel to perform many of the procedures described in this section (Crystal Ball Control Panel).
During the simulation, Crystal Ball saves the forecast values for later chart analysis and, optionally, reporting and export (Creating Reports and Extracting Data).
