The Simulate Window

Specify columns and the number of samples in the Simulate window, and then click OK to run the Simulation. A progress bar and a Stop Early option appears. The number of the sample being simulated appears above the progress bar. If you click Stop Early, the simulated values that have been computed up to that point are presented in a Simulate Results table. The window also shows you which analyses are being run at any given time.

The Simulate window contains these panels and options:

Column to Switch Out

The column that is replaced by the Column to Switch In.

Column to Switch In

The column that replaces the Column to Switch Out. The analysis is repeated with values simulated according to the formula in the Column to Switch In. Only columns with formulas are listed in the Column to Switch In panel.

Number of Samples

Number of times that the report is re-run for a set of simulated data. The default value is 2500.

Random Seed

A value that controls the simulated results. The random seed makes the results reproducible.
