Remove the 'Edit' formula button within the new model building environment.
In a recent amendment to the new model building environment, there is now an 'Edit' button that needs to be selected before a model builder is able to amend an existing formula. This only appears when 'expanding' the formula bar. Whilst I could perhaps understand the reason for this addition in preventing…

Switch Statement Formula
Adding a switch statement formula to Anaplan to get rid of long nested IFs! This would assist in readability (and therefore maintenance) of complex formulae. Switch statements allow you to test a condition, and assign an outcome to each condition. For instance you may have want to test what mode of transport is being used:…

Subset Formula in General Lists
Hi Team, Can we have an option to have "Formula" in the General Lists --> 'Subsets' section. It would be easy to control Subsets using formulae. Thanks Sathya

New Model Experience - formula editing field improvement
I am sharing here one idea that would make the New Model Experience even better than it is now: Automatic formula indentation / keeping white spaces and new line hits in formula text It would be quite nice to be able to keep the formulas more friendly-looking and let devs to work with them easier. Colours in formulas made…

Standardise Zero Formatting between Modules (& Classic UX) and New UX
When setting number formats, the formatting should be consistent across Modules/Classic/New UX. Below, see an example where a material zero balance is formatted as a hyphen as selected. In the New UX, this appears as a non-zero value. The workaround is to round the output to zero, but Anaplan should format consistently…

Be able to navigate/refresh dashboards while processes are running by other users
It will be a lot more efficient for users to be able to navigate and refresh through the dashboards so at least be able to view the information even if other users are running actions or entering inputs. At the moment, the whole model freezes while other users are processing action or entering inputs. This sometimes may…

Display Line Item GUID in Blueprint
I would like to have a unique identifier for every line item in a blueprint displayed either on screen or when I do an export as this will enable me to do more straightforward comparisons between models where the line item name may have changed but not the use of the line item itself. Currently I either have to a code…

Add ability to easily step through / run until X in a Process
I would like the ability to more easily step through the actions in a given Process. Often when trying to debug an issue with a given process, I need to step through the actions in the process to see how the data or views change mid-process. Currently, I need to search for and run each action independently in order to do…

When deleting a formula from a module I would like the data in the module to also be deleted.
When deleting a formula from a module I would like the data to also be deleted/removed from the module. I realise the data can be removed manually by selecting the data in the module and pressing delete, but in a module with many thousands this is a time consuming process, particularly as Anaplan only allows deletion of…

Sort Modules and Line Items Alphabetically in Filter pop up
Please sort Module names and Line Item Names alphabetically in the Filter pop-up window. In modules where there are a lot of a lot of Line Items, it can be very difficult and time consuming to scroll through and locate the correct line item for a filter. This makes for a very frustrating experience as a model builder.

Searh Bar Location within the Formula Area in the New Modelling Experience UI
As a user in the New Modelling Experience, I would like the formula search bar to not cover the body of the formula, so that it is easier for me to navigate my formula while performing a search action within the formula area. Currently the search bar will cover part of the formula upon its invocation, which is not user…

Copy and paste items from a numbered list with duplicate display names into more than one cell
Currently an error is returned if you copy an item from a numbered list, in which there is another item within that list that shares the same display name, and the user attempts to paste this into more than one cell. The workaround for this is to create a new line item, enter a formula, find the code for the corresponding…

New modelling experience: Can we bring back the lists in the settings bar please?
Hi All, Here is my number one reason for staying on the old modelling experience: The new settings bar does not have lists. I liked the old settings bar. I did not think it was too big. It was never an issue. Removing the names of the different settings and only having the icon saves space, but I like seeing the names!…

Add native search functionality into popup screen for deleting/adding actions/steps in processes
To improve the model building efficiency & experience, my customers would like Anaplan to add a native search functionality into the popup screen where we maintain (deleting/adding) actions/steps in processes. Some of these customers' models include thousands of actions, and so it is not feasible for the model builders to…

Subsets as a separate option on the left hand panel similar to LISs
There is a quite a bit of scrolling involved to get to list subsets, especially in large models with lots of them. It will be more efficient to group them together and be accessible with an icon similar to LISS with details of the underlying list presented.

Impact Discovery (Reverse of Drill Down)
Concept: You have entered an adjustment in a cell, you wish to see what line items, cells, items, etc. that are dependent on the entry or are impacted by it. Simply taking the referenced by information and displaying the equations that pull the value and how they change the value (+/-, T/F, Text Change, etc.) Benefits:…

Drag/drop and select multiple for reordering actions in a process
When reordering actions in a process, I would like to be able to drag/drop and also select multiple actions at once, the same way we can when reordering line items for a module. Currently, we can only do 1 action at a time, and move 1 spot at a time using the up/down arrows. This is very tedious and time-consuming when…

Wider "Format" column / column resizing in module blueprint mode
Please make the "Format" column in module blueprint mode much wider. Currently, list-formatted line items with list names of more than a word or two cannot be seen fully, which makes it hard to distinguish between similarly named lists at a glance. The only way to see the full list name is to click into the line item…

Formula Drilldown Highlight for Relevant Sections (esp. IF statements)
It would be really helpful if formula drilldown could highlight (maybe bold or with colors) the sections of a formula that actually apply in a specific calculation. For instance, in formulas with nested IFs, a lot of it will not apply in a particular calculation because the IF condition is not met. However, that is often…

An Anaplan Hash Function
There are times when a code needs to be generated in Anaplan and it would be really handy if we could use a simple hash function to do this (especially as Anaplan's code limit is 60 characters). The Hash function could be a simple one that allows input of text and generates a code limited to 60 characters or less. it might…

Enable Hot Key Refresh for modules, etc.
Hello, I find myself trying to refresh classic dashboard and backend modules with Alt+R, similar to the UX, and it would be great if we can get this functionality on the backend for module build.

Ability to Use Copy Down/Copy Across on a Higher-Level Breakback Cell
Currently, when a builder has Breakback turned on for a line item and selects "Select Levels to Show" in a module and only selects higher levels in a hierarchy, copy down/copy across will not work on these summarized Breakback cells (Fig01). I would like the ability to use Copy Down/Copy Across in a module for on these…

Ability to Export Adhoc from NUX
Unlike Classic, New UX doesn't have the option of allowing users to export the module/view from the dashboard directly without the pre defined actions. Idea is to provide the option to the end users so that they can export the data without running any pre defined export actions.

Ability to create Formulas between models
As a workspace admin, i need to build connected planning between models, meaning direct formulas references between models themselves. This is needed as our current only option is to either use import actions which need to be either run manually, or scheduled through cloudworks or would require a substantial amount of…

New Line Item Text Format Type - SmallText
First, I would like to address that I do not know how the back end of Anaplan is built, so I am unsure as to the possibility or ease of implementation of this idea. The idea is taking a concept from SQL Server. SQL Server has the following data types for storing integer values: bigint, int, smallint, and tinyint. The below…

Lengthb / LENB function
I would like to request a function to get the length of multibyte string in Anaplan. In some countries such as Japan and China, users can use multi-byte characters to enter number and alphabets. Our user wants to avoid entering the list name (i.g. Customer Name) in multi-bytes by mistake. Currently, end users can set same…

Summary Methods Based On Line Items - Product as an example or Weighted totals
Hi All, I feel that the summary methods in Anaplan could be improved further by including more flexible options to use other line items (same dimensionality) to influence summary method. For example on a model I have been building recently, many of the summaries require the product of 2 line items divided by the total of…
