Is it possible to have the time period be changed to quarterly instead of yearly for the 'play' function on the time slider? When I change the column headings to indicate quarters (i.e. 2012 - Q1) they are imported as separate indicators, not time periods. Any guidance or work-arounds would be appreciated!

Time Slider: Yearly vs Quarterly
Hi,
Yes this is possible, but the import macro currently only recognizes years (hence it extracted the years only from your data). You would therefore either need to insert the data manually, import it one month at a time, or probably the best option - use the following workaround:
1. replace the quarters with years temporarily just to import it in the correct order (e.g. 2001 to 2024)
2. Revert the years back to the original dates (quarters) once it has been imported.
I hope that helps.
Best,
Frank
