Alternate Plan Types and Dates

On reason for defining and using alternate plan types is to enable the use of historical date ranges that are earlier than those in the default plan type.

The historical data source, whether default or alternate, must contain all the dimensions on either the Series or Time axis of the current Planning form. One exception is that an alternate year dimension can be specified for the Year dimension. This is useful when an alternate plan type contains earlier dates than the default.
