Numeric Output Files can contain time series output such as history, forecasts, fitted values and confidence limits as well as statistical output such as the forecasting model specification and summary statistics. These files can be saved in text, spreadsheet, ODBC or XML formats. You can include output for all items forecasted, what is currently displayed (including filters), the currently selected item or the Hot List. If you will be importing the forecasts into another application these are the files you will likely want to use.

You can specify the format and content of Numeric Output File in Numeric Output Settings. The operation of the Numeric Output Settings dialog box is described in The Numeric Output View.

You can preview the contents of the current Numeric Output File by clicking the Numeric Output icon on the Reports tab or selecting Show from the Numeric Output icon drop-down on the Home tab.

You can save a Numeric Output file on the Export tab. First, on the left of the tab, select if you want to export the report for All Items, the Hot List or the items Currently Displayed in the report. Then, click the Numeric Output icon to save the report.

You may open Numeric Output settings without previewing the report by selecting Settings on the drop-down of the Numeric Output icon on the Reports tab or the Export tab.
