Make the "model open analysis" available
It is very common to face performance issues with Anaplan models. Examples are not lacking, you just have to have a look to Anaplan Community to realize it. Several “best practices” exist: https://community.anaplan.com/discussion/33530/oeg-best-practice-plans-this-is-how-we-model Moreover, a tool exists, the “Model Open…

Dynamic Sum based on Multi-Select in Context Selectors
This is an extension of already requested options to select multiple items in a UX context selector (for reference, see that Idea here and here). I wanted to call out the specific request that it be possible to have dynamic sum based user-selected context items. The point has been mentioned in these Ideas here above but…

New Modeling Experience Idea: New formula editor box to be avalilable in deployed mode
With newest UX for modeling I found the missing opportunity to see the pretty syntax highlighting in models being in deployed mode. The double-chevron icon is unavailable during deployed mode so i can't switch to "New intuitive formula editor so you can highlight syntax to improve accuracy and easily read formulas" which…

Scaling a number in number format options
In Anaplan it is not possible to scale a number. i.e. show the value of a number in Millions or Thousands. Instead we create a scaling line item and divide all the related line items by this. It is a repetitive work. In New UX I have noticed this when bringing numbers from the source. Scaling option can be accommodated in…

Ability to wrap text on line item names
Description of the enhancement required: Word Wrap for Line Items and/or Rows instead of just Columns An example of the enhancement: Ability to wrap text on a dashboard without having to publish the line item as a "selected line item" How would it help their business process: Majority of the line items or members on rows…

Open source module link in NUX
Suggest to add the "Open Source module" ability to the NUX, incl. the current analysis options available in the old UX. Right now our users can use the open source module function in the old UX whenever they want to dig into the details, see all the underlying formulas/comments, and do ad hoc analysis. Especially, the…

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…
-
Apply DCA by User Group/Role
The ability to have user specific DCA is great as it allows fine grain control of line items/modules without add dimensions to them, but... As we are dealing with large models with increasing number of users the DCA modules themselves can become very large thousands of users by thousands of CC plus maybe a few other…

Summary Method per List
In DISCO we create CAL modules that are purely for caulations and turn Summary Method to NONE. There are though many times where to be most efficient you may want to only have the Summary method apply to one list. e.g. you want it to SUM on product only because you can then use it in an Output module which doesn't need the…

Comments within formula
There should be a syntax to add comments within the formula. All programming languages provide this feature, for example: /* comment */ is used in Java, plsql. This will help to temporary remove any part of the formula for testing or add meaningful comments for reference.

Dates in Timesum
Timesum formula currently works with time periods. When the granularity of the data is Days, the formula cannot return anything (although it does not generate an error). The idea here is to enable Timesum to also work with Dates so that we can apply this formula to more granular use cases.

List property formula functionality to match module line item functionality
Hi Anaplan! It would be great if when you are entering a formula within a list property/attribute you can select another list item property by clicking on it instead of having to enter the name each time. This would also need to apply when referencing a modules line item, so clicking on the line item when a formula is…

In blueprint view, show if a line item is used in a filter
In blueprint view, we can see if a line item is referenced by a formula, but not if it's used in a filter. When cleaning models, we can end up deleting items used in filters and breaking filters with no warning.

Validation Button in Formula Editor
I would like to request validation functionality be added to the formula editor in Anaplan. On large models if a formula is entered incorrectly you can wait 8, 10, 12 minutes for Anaplan to process the incorrect formula. I have seen other application in this space have a validation button for formulas which allow you to…

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…

IRR function to operate on a specified time period ranges
Hello team I would propose an idea of IRR function enhancement to operate on more dynamic environment and respect Anaplan time dimension in the same way as TIMESUM function. Why it is necessary? For IRR calculation when the sign of the cash flows changes more than once, for example when positive cash flows are followed by…

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.

Users List as a basic Dimension
Hello, I ran to the several issues when I needed to calculate some values on the Top Users level. * Users list itself doesn't have Top Level and there isn't an option to add it. Therefore you can't get Total number for given line item that applies to Users List. I was trying to do some workarounds (creation of Dummy Users…

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…

Limit user entry for Dependent formatted line item
Currently if you format a line item as a Dependent list, the user gets a dropdown of list items that correspond to dependent criteria, same applies if they are typing the value. However it is possible to copy a name of a list item that is in the list (but does not suit dependent criteria) and paste it without getting an…

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…

Allow hashing out of lines in the formula editor
Issue: As a model builder, we sometimes need to alter lines of code in the formula of a module. It would be really helpful if there was a character (e.g. hash symbol "#") that Anaplan can ignore so that model builders are able to quickly remove certain lines of code from being used in the calculation without having to…

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…

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…

Limit of 60 chars must be removed in the list item / lineitem name
Hi, The current limit of 60 chracters restricts the users to make sophisticated codes in complex usecases. It would be great if this limit cna be extended. Thanks.

Ability to add Folder structure to Lists, Modules, Actions etc
Being able to keep a model clean and well organised is really important in allowing model builders to understand and work with the model going forward. Often we find that as a model grows, the number of lists, modules, actions etc grows quite large and can start to become difficult to manage. This enhancement idea is to…

Timescale - Working days
I really miss the possibility to select Working days as a timescale not only days. I would like to have the possibility to use all of the "time formulas" that is only to be used when you have a timescale. We do our Supply planning on a daily basis but we only works working days the weekends are closed. what we had to to…

Creating New Model with No Access to others by Default
When a new model is created why does Anaplan provide access to other users within that workspace by default. It would be great if this gets restricted to the user who creates the model and then users can be added incrementally.

Calculation on top level selection in line item subsets and list item subsets
Hi Anaplan Community, Currently it is not possible to use a summary top level of a list subset or line item subset in a calculation without using a workaround using a boolean and using the complete list or line item list. If anaplan had the capability to allow modellers to use the top level in a line item subset or list…
