LAG function constraints don't allow for some valid scenarios
I would like to submit an enhancement request for the LAG function to be used between time ranges that are not the same but have valid overlap. The constraint that disallows the use of LAG between any line items that do not have the same time range gives the function minimal utility. I understand disallowing instances…

Option to Right-Click action button ---> take me to that action in the Actions List
As a model builder, I would like to be able to get from a dashboard button directly to the action in the Actions list. It would be really helpful to have a right-click "Open in Action List" option somewhat equivalent to a module's "open source" module option but for actions. This would be a far better than the current…

Optimizer on rearranging Applies To for optimal performance
In our current models we have been struggling with performance. 1 big impact is the arranging of applies to. It would be great if we have an optimizer that could determine the optimal Applies to for the performance of a given model. This is based a certain constraints from what i understand 1: Size of given list 2: Arrange…

Right-click to Add / Delete line items in a module
Excel's handling of adding / removing rows is very natural feeling. Sure you can go into the ribbon bar and find the button, but that's much slower and breaks one's workflow more easily than simply right-clicking on a row and selecting "Insert" or "Delete" In Anaplan, adding / removing a line item item are ONLY available…

Advanced Search: Allow use of Boolean Operators etc. in model search
I use the search functionality in Anaplan a lot because otherwise it's difficult to find things. It would be helpful to use operators (like in a google search) to find things. Here's an example: Pretend I have a dashboard named "David's XYZ Extravagant Dashboard - Cost Sheet" When searching, if I miss a single character…

Option to allow the system to automatically set the datatype for a line item
It would be really helpful to me when building complex formulas if I could build it up in pieces without creating lots of line items to do so. Ideally I could build it in pieces without getting plagued with "wrong data type" errors. I'd like the option to let the system adjust the datatype for me instead of just rejecting…

Apply module defaults for timescales
I would like the option to use the "-" setting for time settings in the module blueprint, as per the Applies to Since I rarely use subsidiary views, if I need to change the time from, say week to month, I then have to apply this change to all line items, whereas using a default would save time

Day level calendar setting
Is it possible to have a 'day' level setting in the calendar type. We need to plan at a greater level of time sensitivity than is currently available. At present, we use Anaplan for weekly and monthly - it would be great if we could do the same for daily too.

Show first 100 rows in Drill Down
The message received when trying to drill down onto a cell which references a large list is as below. Instead, can there be a enhancement to add the grid filtered down to the first 100 rows so that users can continue troubleshooting in the Drill Down window? Thanks! Cannot display grid for line item <sample line item> too…

Allow order of CUMULATE function to be defined by the user
The CUMULATE function when used against a list, currently accumulates in the original list order even when the list has been reordered. Anapedia states this is how the function is meant to work, but I would like it to take into account if the list has been reordered, and cumulate in the new order. Description of the…

Bounty Program
This is a platform to share ideas about improving Anaplan platform. But there is something I would like from your side a bounty program, for finding bugs in the platform. Just a suggestion to improve the Anaplan platform further. Thanks, Vamshidhar Reddy

Line Item Format from module
It would be useful to see attributes of a line item without having to revert to the blueprint view I often build formulas in the normal view because I can see the results immediately. It would improve efficiency if I could see the list format, for example, without opening the blueprint view Maybe through a hover over or…

Filter and drill down in lists

Use SUM Rules Dimensioned by Users for Source Data not Dimensioned by Users
I recently posted a question on the forums in relation to a workaround for a bug in the LOOKUP formula. I wholeheartedly feel like the LOOKUP bug (where it doesn't work for parent items that are in the same list as the leaf-level members) should be fixed. And I recognize that there are some workarounds available (as…

Parent Level Inputs
Having the option for user input at a parent level in a module would be very helpful. For example, our users are required to leave commentary on their monthly variance to actuals. Currently, they are only able to do this at the bottom level of our Cost Center hierarchy, but many of them would also like to leave commentary…

Format Date Fields so as to include the Day Name
Currently in Anaplan there is no way to change the format of the date to include the Short name of the day such as Mon for Monday without creating a custom timescale as a numbered list and then defining it in the Description of the Item. I have an instance where I need to provide more details on a date for the scheduling…

Use Page Selector Item in Formulas
The ability to use what is selected in a page selector in formulas and filters would be very useful. Although you can create a custom filter with a cell acting like a page selector, if multiple people are on the dashboard and using the cell, it can cause confusion.

Compare Values Incorrect color for negative version amounts
For a line item that has a saved value that is negative (take net income for instance), a less negative or positive value to compare to should be green, but is highlighted as red when you use color coding with the compare tool in Anaplan. Has this issue been identified before? Seems like it would be an easy fix since in…

Color Theme Formulas
Giving different sections of a formula different colors to organize while writing it. Especially when writing a longer nested-IF formula, it would make the organization of the formula easier as well as decrease opportunities to stall the model.

Locked model greys out Open button but not Copy/Delete buttons in Settings, Modules
Description of the enhancement required: The behaviour in a locked model is odd, while in the model module screen, the open button is greyed out, the Copy and Delete button should be greyed out too since trying to use them will result in error saying the "Sorry, the model has been locked by another user". Misleading to…

Maintain & Return to Model Builder's last Position in Modules / Dashboard / Actions lists
The search feature in these lists is nice, but anytime I have to switch between them I have re-find what I was looking at when I go back. A major, yet simple quality of life improvement for model builders would be when I switch between these lists, hold the scroll position I was on and take me there when I return. For…

Ability to format a cells by logic instead of numbers such as blank or not blank
Hi Anaplan, It would be really useful and if you could format cells by logic instead of numbers directly on the cell. This could work by having blank or not blank in the formating parameters or true or false. Thanks, Usman

Linked Formulas
Forgive me if this has been posted, but I did my due diligence and nothing turned up. It would be awesome if formulas had a click-able hyperlink to its source cells, similar to when you double click on a cell in excel to show a formula and it highlights the precedents. Its also similar to "Drill Down", but instead of being…

Show % formatted items description as a % rather than just showing description as 'Number'
If I format a line item or property as a % it is only shown in the blueprint or grid view as 'Number'. It is not easily identifiable as a % wotjout going into the line item and checking the % option has been ticked and the number of decimla places. Could we have this shown as a format description as 'number% 2dp' for…

Connecting two subsets in formulas
Description: I want to save server space and put all promo packs to a subset, but I have two types of promo packs, which have different calculations. Eventually I am obliged to sum them up without use of subset, which occupies a lot of excessive space. Example of enhancement: Create total promo packs subsets out of two…
