Hi All, Recently I have seen great customization to UX (numbers to percentage), it was really good when it comes to line item subset (combination of numbers/% value). It would be good if we are able to customize the negative sign in UX, as management would prefer to view numbers (if negative used bracket), % value (if…
Idea to have an ability to make the notifications dynamic. So lets say, particular workflow is supposed to send out notification that Person X has completed the task, the notification should dynamically mention that 'Person X has completed the task'. X should be dynamic for names X, Y etc.
Currently, the styling of action buttons in Anaplan UX is limited to a predefined set of colors and formats. While functional, this constraint can hinder the ability to create visually engaging and intuitive dashboards—especially when tailoring experiences for diverse user groups. We propose expanding the customization…
Currently in Anaplan, when a formula contains an error, the platform proceeds to process the entire model before surfacing the issue. This behavior can lead to unnecessary delays, confusion, and performance strain—especially in large models with complex dependencies. We recommend introducing a formula validation checkpoint…

Thank You Anaplan team for implementing Beta version, Need selection base filter Need Export functionality Need cell count details Column same as MB/GB Details
I couldn't find any formula to do this, but I want a way to put on the page/grid the connection details. This is so I know what connection I'm in rather than going into Connections details to see it. Is there an XL3 formula to return this value?
Hi, I need help. I have a hierarchical Line Item Subset (LISS) in my model. Sometimes, I want to select a parent item directly in a filter, so that only the parent is displayed — not its children. The challenge is that on a LISS, I cannot tick a parent in a module (since Anaplan only allows selecting child items). I tried…
The default date format in Anaplan is mm/dd/yyyy. How do i change the date format as dd/mm/yyyy. For example, In my source file the date is 7/12/2020 which is dd/mm/yyyy. I would like to maintain this format in anaplan. If i reference the date 7/12/2020 in my period formula the output should be Dec-20 and not Jul-20.
Both name or title of the node in hierarchy chart is limited to certain characters, is there any ways to accommodate more text such as for certain nodes or specific/final level of nodes? Attached with an example of not showing full wordings. Thanks.

Hi all, i'm checking the value for the shipping cost but i found something strange The formula looks correct to me, and I also reviewed the module behind the lookup function, which seems fine.
