Hello guys
First I would like to say thank to Ms. Emily Ghosh for her last support. I have done many progress since then but I still need help. However, Im kinda stuck in the LEAP exercise since I cant find the answer in the revert to version. My questions might seem dumb but it will be really helpful if you guys can help me. Thanks in advance. My questions are the following:
1.
Is there any option on LEAP to screenshot
the interface because sometimes I want to display what I see on my interface to
be more explicit but I can’t find the screenshot option if there is any?
2.
Can someone please explain to
me this hint because the only way I know the go to the base year and end year
is to go through basic parameters and then year but in this hint it is advised
to
Hint: If you wish to add branches or to edit the base year data you
should return to Current Accounts
3.
Can someone please also explain
this following hint because when I click on the E button, I can’t see the Growth rate option but I rather see
this following: paste-paste special-ditto-reset to
inherited-branch/variable-function-time series-aliases.
4.
My question here is I really don’t
know what they mean by the expression field?
For instance, in the LEAP exercise section 1.3.3. Reference
scenario:
By 2030, 45% of Freedonia’s households will be in urban
areas.
The simplest way is to click on the button attached to the expression field and select “End
Year Value”. Then simply type in the value 45. When you click OK, LEAP will
enter an “Interp” function into your expression. You can also type the
“Interp" function directly into the expression field as “Interp(2030,
45)”.
5.
My question here is should I
enter this example (“business-as-usual development; official GDP and population
projections; no new policy measures.”) at the S scenario/ note section as
indicated in the LEAP exercise section 1.3.3 Reference Scenario or is this just
an example since I can’t find it in the revert to version.
1.3.3
Reference Scenario:
You are now ready to create your first scenario, analyzing how
household energy demands are likely to evolve over time in the Reference
scenario. Click the Manage Scenarios button (S) and use
the Scenario Manager screen to add a first scenario. Give it the name
“Reference” and the abbreviation “REF”. Add an explanatory note to describe the
scenario, e.g., “business-as-usual development; official GDP and
population projections; no new policy measures.”
6.
My last question here is should
I enter this whole sentence (The number of households is expected to grow from
8 million in the year 2000 at 3% per year.) as stated in the above example
above colored in blue in the reference scenario and then note section; or
should I just insert 3% in the expression field at the E button/growth rate as stated
in my question number 3 above.
To be more explicit here is the example in LEAP exercise section 1.3.3:
Now enter the assumptions and predictions of the future
data in Freedonia as described below.
First enter the basic demographic changes that are expected
to take place in Freedonia. The number of households is expected to grow from 8
million in the year 2000 at 3% per year.

- No. But Windows should allow you to take a screenshot of the active window using Alt-PrintScreen.
- This hint means that when you wish to edit data for the year 2010 (the base year for the Freedonia exercises), you must ensure that you are looking Current Accounts.
- The options which appear under the orange "E" (the expression menu) are context-sensitive: they depend on the variable and on the scenario you're currently viewing. For many variable/scenario combinations, the use of an annual growth rate would be very unusual, and hence LEAP does not provide this as an option in the menu. I'm not sure which part of the exercises you're stuck at, but ensure that you've properly selected both the correct scenario and variable before entering a growth rate, by following the instructions carefully. Note that all expressions may be entered by hand (i.e. by typing "Growth(...)", and hitting Enter) even if you don't see the option in the expression menu.
- The "Expression field" is the part of Analysis view into which you enter expressions. On page 7 of our training materials, it is the field labeled "Edit data by typing here". At the far right side of the expression field you'll find the orange "E".
- Including notes within the scenario manager (the window in which you add scenarios and modify their inheritance relationships) is optional. It is for your information only.
- In 2010 there were 8 million households. This information is entered in Current Accounts. In the future, this quantity will growth at 3% annually. Enter this into the Reference scenario for that variable as follows: Growth(3%)
Hello sir,
Thanks a lot for the support. I have finished the exercise 1, although my result isn't exact but that's already a progress. I have started again the same exercise.
