Thank you for the confirmation.  that was helpful.  i was having a difficult time getting calculations to work.  There were many accounts dependent on other accounts to get the correct answer.  I believe the issue was that the one account (denominator) in my calculation was bringing in an account from another scenario that was set as balance, and I need it to be a flow account.  I had to bring in the account and add it to the previous period to be able come up with the correct amount.  Thanks again
