Extend the number of future years
For the purpose of calculating lease contracts in IFRS 16 it's sometimes needed to have wide time ranges in the model. Currently, the amount of future years is limited up to 50 years and past years up to 20 years (link). This means you have a maximum time range of 70 years. We experience that some lease contracts extend 70…

Anaplan Model Builder Line Item Diagram View
As a model builder, it would be great to have a "diagram view" available when reviewing code/line items. This concept originates from an actuarial modeling software called "Prophet". Basically a model builder would be able to enable/disable diagram view. If enabled, a precedent/dependent tree would appear at the top of the…

Ability to view a column in module blueprint showing "Used in Filter", similar to "referenced by"
Similar to how a column for "referenced by" can show me other modules where a line item is used, and "used in dashboard" can show me where it's on dashboards, as a modelbuilder it would be helpfult to have a way to tell where a line item is being used to drive a filter.

View a module's blueprint view side-by-side with its data view
I would like to be able to see the changes I make while in blueprint view of a module affecting its data view in real-time. Currently when I change something in blueprint (ie. a summary method) and have to toggle back and forth to see its affect. Unfortunately, depending on how far down in the list of line items the one…

Need a way troubleshoot a formula by stepping through it piece-by-piece
Much like most coding languages or even excel's formulas, to aid in writing complex code / formulas, there needs to be some way for a developer / builder to see how the individual components of it resolve one by one. I'd like a way to step through a formula to see where it's going wrong, and see values of the components so…

Allow the Create action to work with a numbered list that has no parent hierarchy
The Create action only works with numbered lists that have a parent hierarchy. My numbered list does not have or need a parent hierarchy so to satisfy this rule I have to create a dummy list (e.g. a List called All with a single member called All) and made that the Parent of my numbered list. (I also checked whether I…

Add formula drill down in NUX
Suggest to add formula drill down to NUX. When working with the NUX, there is no formula drill down option. This is a key feature for our users as they need to see how the numbers are being calculated when doing root cause analysis. At the same time, the specific values going into the formula should be shown as they are…

Ability to enter decimals without leading zeros via new UX forms
When we are using the forms in the new UX to create list items, the form with a number formatted line item is not letting the user enter decimal numbers without leading zeros ".05". When entering the number directly into the cell, it accepts it but when using the form, it gives an error saying it is not a valid number.…

Calculation Function / Formula context specific suggestions
When typing in a calculation function, show a dropdown box that provides possible matches Example 1: In the formula box when you type "Da" a tooltip suggests "DATE, DAY, DAYS, DAYSINMONTH, DAYSINYEAR.." etc Example 2 (List/Module specific): When typing "Employees. " a tooltip suggests your available Properties or Line…

Ability to move to different Workspace from the model itself
Current State Scenario: If you are working on a model and you wish to move to another model in different workspace you have to go back to Home screen then go to Manage Models-> Select Workspace ->Select Model Idea: From the current model we hit Manage Models->Select Workspace-> Select Model. This eliminates the need to go…

Ability to Comment Code
The ability to put comment blocks and indents within your formulas, so as to allow model builders to better document and format their code within the models for readability and understanding purposes. This will help align Anaplan's language back to the basic features all other development languages used in an enterprise…

Ability to customize Dimensions for line item summaries
I would like the ability to customize the dimensions across which the automatic line item summary will apply. Currently, we can only specify Summary (for all selected dimensions) and Time Summary. This means that for multi-dimensional line items, if I need a summary over one dimension I am forced to summarize over all…

Tree View not available due to large lists
Tree View have to be available even if the list is large. Anaplan could show it on different pages, but it's a big limitation to the client if they can't see the tree view list.

Adjust Size of List Items in Columns
We have an option of adjusting our Row Size, this is useful when we don't want to show the dimension of the module. There are cases when we don't want to show Rows as well as Columns of the module like the typical 2-D/excel way of displaying things. Hence Proposing an idea of Having an ability to adjust the Size of the…

Click through Formula
Formulas should be clickable. Ex: If formula for one line item is as follows: Sales.Actuals When we hover over Sales or Actuals then it should become underlined and clicking on Sales should automatically open Sales module.

The ability to see entire Note, Applies to, Referenced By fields inside blueprint view
It would be great ot see the entire Note section in the blueprint view without having to copy and paste it into another tool, double click into the note section, etc. Double clicking into the note section isn't ideal in Standard (Non-Deployed) models, as it can lead to the accidental editing/deletion of the note field. One…

Line breaks in free text fields
Please add the feature to enable line items and data with free text, with all characters including line feeds. Ctrl+Alt+Enter creates a line feed while entering the data, but it is lost when the data is referenced.

Set conditional formatting by formula
Description of the enhancement required: Improve conditional formatting by allowing formulas. An example of the enhancement: Have it function similar to excel where formulas can be used to test for conditions. How would it help their business process: Extra line items must be used to check for a condition, if conditional…

Show Multiple Spaces in Module Names (Bug?)
Not sure if this is a bug, or just a weird feature. If you enter multiple spaces in a module name, Anaplan will trim to a single space when displaying the module in the modules panel. For instance 'Country P&L' becomes 'Country P&L'. This becomes an issue when using the search function to try and locate a module. The…

Ability to drag and drop an Import action in a Process
Hi Team, It would be really good if we have a Drag and Drop feature of an Import action (in addition to Up and Down arrows) in Edit --> Process. For instance, if a Process has more than 40+ Import actions, then it would be difficult to move a newly added import action/ an existing action to the 22nd place. Thanks Sathya

Categorizing the content panel based on the Module Categories
I have always wondered what are the benefits of categorizing the functional areas of the modules. In content panel we only see functional areas and not the categorization. It would be great if this categorization can be applied to the content panel. This would help not only the admins but also the end users and I also…

Support of basic excel functions like RAND, RANDBETWEEN, RANDARRAY
It would be nice to have these Random number generating functions. These functions revery useful to generate some test and demo data, rather than inputting numbers and copy forward or importing from an excel. Can all be used for other purposes that I can not think of now.

Summary method shown when drilling down
I suggest a simple addition to the drill down feature that displays the summary method that was applied to the line item. This is because it is sometimes not readily apparent (especially to an end user) how a top level summation has been calculated.

LOOKUP does not work on list parents and only leaf items
When a LOOKUP is done on a parent item in a module, the result does not resolve to the column with that respective parent. Subsequently the value shows 0. To reproduce: 1. Create list with leaf item and parent 2. Create module with column 1 as "Data", column 2 as "Parent", and column 3 as "Lookup", using list from 1. as…

Filtering a list based on a property
When in a list grid view, enable a list to be filtered on a property. This is only possible by creating a module using the list and creating line item linked to properties.

Search Option while Selecting Lists for Module Dimension
There should be an option to search lists while applying to modules. In our use case, we have too many lists/subsets to scroll and select the appropriate one. Changing a dimension is even nightmare when multiple lists are applied to the module. Ideally, It is should be similar to how we add actions to a process ( Click and…

Open modules using 'Referenced By' column
It would be really helpful if the 'Referenced By' column opened all modules associated to the line item (similar to clicking on a functional area name to open all associated modules). This could be achieved by SHIFT+LEFT CLICK to differentiate from selecting the cell rather than following the hyperlink. This would be…

Deactivate Formula Scope if Versions = Not Applicable
Hi, In a module blueprint, there is a field called 'Formula Scope'. For modules where Versions = Not Applicable, using 'Formula Scope = Actual Version' or 'Formula Scope = Current Version' will nullify the calculation of any formula in a line item. This is potentially dangerous, because: 1. If there is a formula + Formula…

Add XOR formula
Title says it all, a XOR formula would be really helpful and reduce formula length when trying to test an exclusive or. For those unfamiliar, here is the logic table for XOR. It acts as an OR however if both inputs are TRUE, then XOR returns false.
