Hello,
I have built a model that requires the use of seasonality data to increase or decrease demand patterns in customer orders. To do this, I have created a data table with one column for months of the year (as a calendar date/time) and another with percentage increase (or decrease) demand. I was attempting to use the TimeNow variable to match the simulation time to the calendar time in the columns (using the 'search' function in an add-on process trigger, a la Search Tables SimBit). Unfortunately, for this to work (conceptually) I would have to fire the process every time step (which is inefficient). And even doing the process this way doesnt seem to be matching TimeNow to a calendar date in my table. Is there a way to extract a calendar attribute (in this case, a month) from the TimeNow variable?
Thanks
