Question about time dimension

Hello,

this is a dumb question...can someone please tell me if there is a difference between the two time dimensions? the second on is an existing one and I manually created the first one. they are both sorted by hierarchy but look very differently (the YTD part), trying to understand why here...

thanks so much!

The component sort sense is probably different between the two. Provided the element weights within the consolidations are the same, you'd get the same results.

Is this supposed to be a trick question? The first dimension has 14 periods while the second one has only 12. Also, following the YTD logic the second dimension is missing 13-YTD.

No it’s not...sorry I was just trying to understand why the YTD part looks so different.
