Why is the line item format selectable?
Why do we need to set a format for the line item on creation, can it not be a read-only field and set based on the formula/data. Anaplan knows when we get it wrong, why not just set to what it is supposed to be?

Ability to get to know "Published on" App/Page feature
Since we are moving away from classic dashboarding slowly and NUX being the future of reporting in Anaplan we may need to know where the modules have been published on NUX. Hence proposing an idea of having an ability to get to know about the "Published on Page/App" feature in Anaplan Models. It needs to be precise to tell…

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.…

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…

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.

Group/Ungroup Hierachy Items in Module
Not sure if this has been posted earlier but it would be awesome if we have group/ungroup feature in Anaplan on dimensions within a module. Basically Tree View of Modules which will help in grouping & ungrouping of list items based on the parent nodes. This should be applied only if the list is in rows or columns

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…

Subtotal in bottom right of Anaplan
Hi, I would like an enhancement made where, similar to Excel, when I highlight a series of cells with numbers in a column or row or both, I want a Total, Count, and Average to appear in the bottom right of Anaplan so that I can quickly look at measurements of the data I've selected in a module. Thanks,

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…

List Inheritance
Where lists are in a hierarchy, it would be really helpful if Anaplan natively understood the concept of inheritance. Here's an example. Consider two lists in a hierarchy: * L1 Countries * L2 Cities L1 Countries is the parent to L2 Cities. Within an attributes module, each L1 Countries list item is assigned a currency.…

Insert Line items – Format settings
The reason behind the ask is because Anaplan is not letting the model builder even to add dummy line items (Divider with None as a format) if the model exceeds the size as it takes the 'number' as default. I hope to resolve this concern, probably Anaplan can let the developer choose the format of the line item before…

Add option to search for data anywhere within the table of a module, not just the rows dimension
Pretty self-explanatory but I want the ability to search for data or text or part of a formula anywhere within a module, not just the rows column. Identical to what Excel does with ctrl+f.

Add module's name to the Line Items grid in the Modules section
It'd be great to have a module's name in the Line Item's grid. Especially when I extract it to Excel

VARIANCE command
When we define an item we can set the number Format to Numeric and tag if an "Increase in Value" is Good/Bad/Neutral. Why do we not have a VARIANCE function to utilise that increase in value indicator? So if we have three different Versions ("Actual", "Budget" and "Actual vs Budget" and 1 item called "Sales" (with an…

Is there a way to set a numerical goal and track its progress throughout the quarter on a Dashboard?
I am looking for a way to communicate a sales goal by product and channel on a monthly basis. Please let me know if you have any ideas, Thanks!

Select parent level
I would like to see a formula similar to parent but "inverted". When I have an unbalanced hierarchy and need a parent a similar level I would like to choose level from the top instead. example: invparent(item,3) which would always give the level 3 item for all parts of the list instead of trying to find our a way to get a…

Provision to input code while inserting elements into a list
While inserting a elements into the list, currently the UI only accepts the name, not the code. Can you please make Code and Name available while inserting elements into the list.

Quick way to open referenced Line Item or List Property
It would be great to have a quick way to open a referenced Line Item or List Property from an existing formula. It can be very tedious & time consuming to hunt through the modules & lists, then again through the line items & properties to locate the reference, especially when there are multiple levels of references to…

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…

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…

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

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.

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…

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…

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”…

Ability to use Concatenate (&) in a Select Function
I would like the ability to add an Concatenate to Select Function. For example SELECT: VERSIONS."Budget "&NAME(Current Year). As we have multiple Budget Version, the current version in play and the future version. So in our variance reporting module it would select the correct version as budget. Similar with forecast ……

Prompt to open list when creating
I am adding a new list, it would be useful to either open the list immediately afterwards (or prompt for opening). This could work in the same way as creating a module. The logical next step to creating a list is to add members to the list. It would be more efficient to be able to add members to the list as part of the…

Right-click a part in a formula ---> take me to that module / List / etc.
Similar to some other feature requests I've made... 1. Open From Drill Down (delivered) 2. Open From Filter View it would help model building workflow if I could right-click a module or list that appears in a formula and it give me the option to open the module, or show the list. Again, this is so I don't have to leave…
