Default Settings for new Line Items, Summaries, for Model and Modules
There are two other ideas that exist already one that are by default set sums to off and another that is to set defaults by module. Why limit to just as a whole product or module, why not give a default for builders or similar added to the Model Setting. All models are set to default none for all summaries and line item…

Use Time Ranges in formulas: Make the Time Range a named member in the Time Dimension
If Time Ranges were true named member in the TIME dimensions we could easily control formulas and filters based on a time range. It would also allow for YoY changes in formulas to be maintained easily w/o having to create multiple line items. Many companies need to save off older versions for compliance reasons. Adding the…

Ability to define line item 'applies to' when adding that line item to a module
As a model builder, I would like the ability to define the 'applies to' of a line item when creating and adding it to a module. This enhancement could work by enriching the current box for adding line items and allowing users to set the applies to at this point The benefit of this would be the ability to add line items…

Formula Error Log
As a model builder and workspace admin, formula errors can be costly. My idea is to add an error log that tracks formula and calculation errors. This will help document who was doing what when something goes wrong. It will also help with enablement as you can review the error log and use it for training - ensuring that the…

Day time period format
We currently cannot have Daily as a Time Period format for a line item Use Case: Mapping from a fake daily timescale to Real time. Issue: Currently we have to use a date formatted line item and to map from a Fake Daily timescale in the format 1 Jan 2019 to a date requires a lot of text and string manipulation

Formula to pull dates from History log - Cell Updates
Hi! I would like to be able to pull information about the date/time when a cell is update. Example: If I tick a Boolean field called Final Position to mark a deal as ready to be contracted, I'd like to have an associated Final Position Date automatically fill in with the date that this cell for the deal was ticked

breakback when using average
consider adding ability to use breakback when the summary method is set to average (number entered into the summary period is entered into each of the lower time members). seems like a no brainer. would be used a lot for many % line items that are used in modules. thanks.

Create Function for ADDWEEKS
Please could we have ADDWEEKS as a function to work the same as ADDMONTHS and ADDYEARS the current workaround is to convert the weekly time period into a date then add or subtract 7

Summary Default to None for Numeric Line Items
Can the default Summary for numeric line items be None rather than Sum. This way it's a conscious action to turn the sum on, rather than a need to remember to turn them off. I know there's another post to have this an option that can be set by each module, which would be advanced, but I continue to hear about sums being…

Dynamic List Management Access
Being an Anaplan user, I would like to dynamically set list management access without admin license. Similarly to WorkFlow and DCA, it would be great to have an ability to dynamically limit add/delete/copy actions on the list for the users, who have write access to it. As per now, taking, for example, Workflow: Imagine we…

Create export with all Saved Views in Model
It would be really useful if there was a way to export all Saved Views present in a model - currently, they can be viewed in the Contents Panel on the left side of the Anaplan window, but text can not be copied from that section. There is also the Contents area of the Model Settings that is able to be copied and has an…

Using LOOKUP and SUM with Formula summary method
A detailed description of the enhancement that is being requested. We would like to request an enhancement that would allow to use LOOKUP and SUM with Formula summary method. Currently Anaplan doesn’t allow to do so, although in many cases it is needed and doesn’t break the math. If available, could you please provide a…

Add to Line Item Subset Items from different modules with the same Name
Being an Anaplan builder, I would like to pick line items with same name, but from different modules into one Line Item Subset. The behavior of items in LI SS in that way will be like in numbered list. Benefits: preparing reports, combined across big number of similar metric without creating and fake Line Item SS and…

Increase in more than 1 million times for Breakback line items
Proposal : Increase in more than 1 million times for Break-back line items Benefits : perform large inputs in break-back for initially very small, but non-zero values, excluding the step of force zeroing values by each cell before break-back.

TEXT() function to follow Excel rules
Being a Anaplan builder, I would like to extend TEXT() functionality to work similarly to excel function, exactly: 1) Follow different format conversions 2) Follow preset patterns, to exclude unexpected text from numbers results etc. Example of wrong work to be prevented with new functionality: Text(1504322.40)= 1504322.4…

Show all references (full chain) from a line item in the model map
I would like to visualise a calculation reference chain from a line item as a starting point using the model map. This will help in maintainability of the model and in the ability to refactor model design or calculations.

Re-Order Conditional Formatting Rules
Hi Anaplan, When you have multiple conditional formatting rules or you create a new conditional formatting rule you currently cannot re-order the conditional formatting rules. This can make it difficult when reviewing conditional formatting rules to understand what you have defined. It would be great if you could re-order…

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…

Copy/Import Line Item Formats
To provide self-service modeling we need to allow users to not only add new line items to a module but also to change/update the formats. It would be nice to be able to import line item formats as well. Line items can be imported but then only a model builder can change/set the format. For example: I want to give my users…

Show Subsets in the General List area in settings under the List they belong to
I would love to see the subsets created under the list they belong to in the General List area in settings. It would make using them and maintaining them easier. And, when learning new models, it's really hard to tell the difference b/n a subset and a list and to what list the subset belongs to.

Extend Date format to include Time (hh-mm-ss)
Description: Being an Anaplan Builder, I would like to be able to have a date format with Time in it (hh-mm-hh) Some of our planning tasks are connected with work with exact timing (Date + Time). Currently, we have to upload this data as text and use RIGHT(),MID(),LEFT() functions to extract values. If we have a customized…

Increase the limit of characters in Notes section
HI Team, It would be really helpful, if we can increase the limit of characters in Notes section of a module. Currently it has 250 as a limit. I got stuck here when I tried to copy paste one lengthy formula cos I don't want delete the formula instead I might take that for my future reference. Let me know others thoughts on…

Ability to sort the order of views on a module using Ascending or descending options
Currently when you click Manage Views on a Module you can move a view up or down to change its order. It would be easier if we could have the option to sort in the same way for other objects with an ascending and descending order option or a top or bottom option. In addition you can only move a view once in either an up or…

Totals position for formatted list items
It would be very useful to be able to adjust the behaviour of the totals when displaying a list formatted item. Within a module one can control where the parents appear; it would be good to give this option for list formatted items too. It is possible to "create" this behaviour using dependent drop downs or by activating…

Defaulting values for line-items (vs. modeling via override)
Abilty to have by default a 100% value in a line-item vs. modeling this behaviour with a line item of 100 and putting an override if you do not want 100% (e.g. redemption rates). The default should be able to have a formula behind it. (cfr STET functiona in competitive products) Benefits : 1) Huge UX improvement on…

Ability to view a module side-by-side with it's Blueprint mode
When model building I find myself regularly want to see a module AND it's blueprint mode simultaneously so I can scan formulas, change things in blueprint, and immediately see the effects without having to toggle back and forth. This would be like using split screen in Excel to compare two workbooks side-by-side Toggling…

LOOKUP towards a line item that has less dimensions
Please add an option to use LOOKUP function towards a line item that has less dimensions. For example: I have a line item that has three dimensions: * Client * SKU * Month I try to get some masterdata from Region, Month level that doesn't have SKU dimension. When I try to use [LOOKUP: Client.Region] towards this line item…

Shared weeks (splited by months)
We use ISO calendar split. This mean that a year contains about 52 calendart week and about 63 shared weeks: when a week is located in two months at the same time. This is the only way to move back and forth between Months and Weeks. Currently we have to maintain false Time hierarchy in order to have this option.

Code property
ITEM is not an occupied system property while CODE is. This makes the formulas ITEM and CODE not equivalent and thus inconsistent for Anaplan modelers. Since CODE() and ITEM() are very similar formulas, it would be nice to make their syntax similar. The practice that we use to keep formulas simple is creating “item”…

FIND list items by property value
Currently you're only able to use systm properties: Name and Code to identify List elements. Please add an optional argument in a FIND functions that would allow to use any single exact property in the selected list as a reference.
