	This feature of IFs allows users to create formulas of variables that allow transferability between variables that are either historic and forecasted or variables that are both forecasted. This feature of IFs is similar to [~~http://www.du.edu/ifs/help/use/display/selfmanaged/variable/analog.html~~ Create Historic Analog with Forecast], but offers users more flexibility by allowing them to work with two forecast variables. Select this option and a new window will appear asking you to choose between Computation History or Computation Forecast.		This feature of IFs allows users to create formulas of variables that allow transferability between variables that are either historic and forecasted or variables that are both forecasted.

Select this option and a new window will appear asking you to choose between Computation History or Computation Forecast.

	'''Computation History''': Selecting this will present a new window that will ask you to input a formula. Your formula can be as simple as one letter, as can be seen by reading the Create Historic Analog with Forecast help topic.
