How to change the Analysis Start Date

Sometimes you may want to change the Start Date for an analysis. For example: You lease 20,000 sf starting September 2006 and in June 2008 you add 5,000 square feet (see the TIP below for doing this in the lease analysis programs in the Silver Series).

The methodology for the example above is to do 2 LseMod analyses, one for the first space, one for the second space, and then combine them in LseSum. Once in LseSum, you can use the Calculate Totals commands on the Management Summary or the Annual Totals report to get the total cost and the NPV.

However, you MUST set the start date for the second analysis to be the same start date as for the first space. The Analysis start date is different from the Lease start date. Making the Analysis start dates the same will allow the costs to “line up” in LseSum, i.e. costs in 2006 will not include the 2^nd space and costs in 2008 will include the second space.

On the Inputs sheet, go to the Lease Term section and click on the button Show Special Date Options.

Next, click on the button to the right in Optional - Special Date Adjustment.

Finally, make the Analysis Start Date the same by changing the month to September and the year to 2006 and by selecting Yes in #3. You MUST select yes in #3 in order to change the start date for the NPV calculation.

The result will look like this.

And on the Financial Summary Report it will look like this if you are using the Lease Year format.

TIP: In the lease analysis programs in the Silver Series users can change the square footage leased on the Additional Inputs sheet.
