+### Referencing forecasts
+
+Inforiver can adjust open forecasts to match a defined target value. Let’s consider a report that captures the projected revenue based on the quantity and sales. The report contains a forecasted quantity field as well as a projected quantity data input field. The formula uses the projected quantity for closed periods and the forecast quantity for open periods. When you set a goal for the Revenue measure, Inforiver will adjust the forecast quantity to align with the goal.
