Monthly Quarterly Yearly Periods: The fiscal periods. The number of periods is determined by the report's selected Start Date and Duration. When you select a project, a warning message displays if there are gaps or overlapping dates for the existing fiscal periods included in the project's revenue forecast date range or if there are not enough established fiscal periods to support the project's revenue forecast date range. If there are gaps or overlaps, the revenue forecast periods are displayed using months. If there are missing fiscal periods, `Vantagepoint` automatically adjusts the column heading for those affected dates depending on the value set for the Periods Per Year field in Utilities > Period > Period Setup: If Periods Per Year is 12 or is not 13, any missing fiscal periods display in months. If Periods Per Year is 13, any missing fiscal periods display as 4 week (28 day) periods. If the first or last fiscal period dates do not coincide with their corresponding month start/end dates, partial periods display in those calendar columns.
Column Width	Enter the width for the data columns in inches or millimeters, based on which one you selected in the Unit of Measure field on the Layout tab. Enter inches and millimeters with decimals. For example, enter one and a half inches as 1.5.
Duration	Select the number of reporting periods to display. The related Scale option determines the type of period. For example, if the scale is monthly and you enter 6 here, the report displays data for six monthly periods.
