How to enter expenses with erratic or irregular growth using Continuation Pages. Set up the first Expense Page with the initial amount and set Expense Period to the length of the first period (e.g. 1 year). Then Edit / Add Continuation Page to continue the expense with a different amount or growth method. Each Continuation Page represents a block of time — change the amount, growth method, or growth rate independently for each block. Expense Period on continuation pages: enter years (e.g. 0.5 = half a year), or enter a negative date code to end at a specific date (e.g. -6.12 = through May 2012 / until June 1st 2012). Example: Year 1 = $12,000; Year 2 (continuation) = $24,000; Mid-2012 (continuation) = $36,000 for half year using -6.12 date code; then continuation with continuous growth at 4%. The Audit Window in Monthly mode shows each block transitioning to the next. Use Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N to add continuation pages quickly when building many periods. Each continuation page can have a completely different growth method — switch from flat to annual growth to continuous growth to one-time as needed.
