Re: "Reset" on UX Page
Hi @mthakker!
There is a special button for such cases.
However I believe it's more useful than just "reset". And it makes sense to replace "reset" button with "reset page"
Thanks,

Re: how to average on roll up
@SnehaPrabha It sounds like you want UPT to:
- Sum across Products
- Average across Time (at quarters, years, etc.)
- Average across Geo (at Region, etc.)
If that's the case, a simple solution is to have three line items:
- Value (Divisor)
- Formula: 1 (a simple count to calculate the divisor)
- Summary Method: SUM
- Dimensions: Only the dimensions you want to average (which sounds like Country and Time)
- Value (Sum)
- Formula: [your calculation or user input]
- Summary Method: SUM
- Dimensions: All dimensions relevant to this metric
- Value (Output)
- Formula: =Value(SUM) (this looks like a daisy chain, but it's necessary in order to summarize correctly)
- Summary Method: RATIO ( Value (SUM) / Value (Divisor) )
- Dimensions: All dimensions relevant to this metric
Here's what the blueprint looks like:
And here's what the output in my model looks like (where region and quarters average but product sums across the active dimension):
If you want summary method behavior to be different within different levels of the same hierarchy, you need to get more complicated. (Similar to what @nvilkko described)
Re: UX related question!
To improve on this, create a list for each Salary Band and put the text there; then use a list formatted line item for display, not text. Also, there's no need to be doing the text concatenation here…
Re: UX related question!
@aishabhy05, Write the formula for the text format line item with emojis, using IF and ELSE statements for different emojis.
IF Salary < 50000 THEN "🔻" & "Low Salary" ELSE "⬆️" & " High Salary"

Re: Managing Hierarchy with members moving between levels
@Nipsa That is something which should not happen ideally. You need to have stable hierarchies for a system to work.
If members move from one level to another, I believe you are going to lose all the input data at that level - To fix that you will have to load all the new children of this member which moved from being a child to parent to get the data back. And if the data is end user input then end users need to re input their data.

Anaplan Models Not Opening Up/Loading
I am having multiple models not being able to open up in different workspaces. It's stuck on the loading screen and I can't even access production models.

I guess,
I'm late for the bage, but I wonder how nobody mentioned ability to work with pages in the model interface for admins 😅
No more jumping between interfaces 👍️
