ETS Forecast Macro - changing the x axis of the output charts

NikBarter

I've got a model that uses the ETS Tool, but the x axis output doesn't correctly show the date as a period. Rather than hacking the output (which I might have to do), I thought that I would play with the macro to see if it was something there.

 

Short story, I ended up changing the macro input (1000 years into the future), but this isn't reflected in any of the workflow - can someone help? (Are the dates hardcoded somewhere?)

 

How can I get the charts to reflect the correct time series in the input?

Just to clarify, I'm using the stock ETS tool (listed under Time Series) and the macro input is the tool 185

Have solved this by adding parameter actions to change the start year and month (%Question.start_year% and %Question.start_month_qtr%), with a control input using the exact same names in the Control Parameter to dynamically change this.

 

For some reason change the year and month string didn't work.
