Performance of line items calculations with cell count 0
Anaplan platform gives to modelers great flexibility in terms of how it is used, once in a while leading to situations, where modelers design solutions, which were never considered by Anaplan Platform developers. One example like that is usage of a single element list with subset as a module dimension - to turn on or…

Defaulting filters in Assign Action Screen
Assign functionality can be used, for example, to add products to customers. But how will we make sure, that only active products will be added? We can define a filter in assign actions (we can't use Boolean as a filter, but we create a list formatted property for that purpose). The main problem is, that when we open the…

Day Period
When using Weeks as a Calendar Type in Anaplan Time, there is no easy way to aggregate from days to months. We would be able to use TIMESUM function, but you cannot used simple Dates to indicate start and end of the month as function parameters -> it needs to be Period type. Unfortunately line items with Period type can…

HyperBlock Performance Improvement: TRUE-->TRUE change
The Anaplan platform leverages a patented in-memory, Java-based, planning engine for calculation called Hyperblock", as we can read in the CIO Guide White Paper on anaplan.com. The engine allows to rapidly calculate billons of cells. It is also important to understand that it recalculates only what needs to be…

Assign Action - Disable unassign
Assign Action dialog window allows end users to assign new elements, but also to remove already assigned elements. In some scenarios it is not desired, as modelers are no in control here (we cannot put any validation if an element can be removed / unassigned). The idea is to add a configuration option (Boolean) to allow…

Add ability to assign a functional area to a new module in the create a module dialogue box
It would save time to not have to always go back to the modules tab and assign a functional area if I could do it upon creating the module, which seems sensible!

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…

Breakback function by selected Line Item
Hi Team, It will be great to have an option to select the Line Item which will be taken as a source to calculate phasing for Breakback function. At the moment split is done based on the items, in which I input amount. Unfortunately in some business cases it's required to use another metric for phasing. This can be useful…

Please fix opening a menu from the drill-down view (i.e. to open the source module)
Hi, Currently, if you drill down through several layers of modules and try to open the menu of a module to open the source module it appears as if the menu has not opened. I have learned from experience that the menu does actually appear, but seemingly in a random position further up from the drill down tabs, and floats…

Ability to reference a Line Item generically.
I am requesting the ability to use a generic 'me/myself/self/here' reference in functions that require a Line Item. An example: Original: PREVIOUS(Total Average Balance) + MOVINGSUM(Total Average Balance, -11, -10, AVERAGE) New: PREVIOUS(Here) + MOVINGSUM(Here, -11, -10, AVERAGE) The benefit of this is: if the Planner…

Include Formula Change Detail in Model History
Currently the model history process only captures that a line item was edited but it doesn't specify if it was a formula change, applies to, etc... and it doesn't include what the formula is/was. This came up recently in trying to research what had happened with a formula that had previously been updated and it's otherwise…

Dependent dropdown - Based on line items
HI Team, Just realized that the dependent dropdown will work only based on the property that the list has. As we are following the best practice not to create properties in a list, can we make the dependent dropdown based on line items. Agree/Disagree or Any comments? Regards, Kavin.

Selective Module reordering
I often find that I want to re-order modules within functional areas, but using the ascending/descending order, re-orders all module, not just the ones selected. It would be great if the sort, could be restricted to the highlight modules The following shows how it could look Note that the other modules are not included in…

Restore Open Dashboards and Modules Tabs when Model is closed accidentialy (or due to login timeout)
I'd like to see an option that we re-logging into Anaplan - I can re-open my most recently used model and any correspoding tabs (dashboards, modules, etc.,) that were open. Sometimes the model is closed automatically after login time-out, other times the model is accidentially closed by selecting the Anaplan logo at the…

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…

Formula Bar Changes Color When It Is Active
It would be helpful if the formula bar changed color when it is active. As an indicator, This could help people avoid clicking around on different line items and entering in incorrect formulas. See the screenshot below as an indicator of what this could look like.

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…
