Using Exl-Plan > Model-Building Procedure > Detailed Guidance on Generating Projections > Completing the Projections
To complete the projections:
| 1. | Re-save the file and make a further backup copy. |
| 2. | Initial projections have now been completed and the appropriate reports and charts can be viewed on the screen or printed. Assumptions can be fine-tuned and the resultant projections can be subjected to critical examination to determine their veracity etc. Be watchful for the following: |
| • | Undesired blips in the cashflow projections arising from unsound assumptions about the credit - see Notes 1 and 2 in the Cashflow Projections and review Assumptions Report No. 7 - Year-End Credit Balances. |
| • | Data-entry errors like entering 300 instead of 3,000. |
| 3. | Save the updated model and make a backup with a new file name. |
| 4. | If desired, do some sensitivity analysis (see Doing Sensitivity Analyses) and resave the results with a new file name. |
At any stage, you can view a summary of projections at the Dashboard (*Output > Dashboard or "bullseye" toolbar button) or Textual Summary Report (*Output > Textual Summary).
