Prior Year YTD total option for Time Ranges
Hi, We have a large reporting requirement for reporting versus prior year for reporting month and Year to date. The month is easily achievable but if we want to create views that compare Prior year to date versus current year to date its a lot more fiddly. Alot of our monthly reporting is done through the Excel Add in and…

Ability to designate modules by their specific role in DISCO
DISCO is helpful for model builders to use as they build from scratch, or even getting up to speed in an existing project. I think Anaplan should have a way to designate which part of the DISCO framework each module is being used for. (similar to "Functional Area") While there is the "Functional Area" column that could be…

NEW UX: Drilldown to be formatted & have the ability to be expanded
The current drilldown functionality in the New UX is not compatible for complex formulas. It would be a great improvement if the formulas can be formatted (like in the classic) with bolded text for functions, and indentations for IF/THEN/ELSE. It would also be ideal if the drilldown window can be expanded to cater for…

Wider "Format" column / column resizing in module blueprint mode
Please make the "Format" column in module blueprint mode much wider. Currently, list-formatted line items with list names of more than a word or two cannot be seen fully, which makes it hard to distinguish between similarly named lists at a glance. The only way to see the full list name is to click into the line item…

Standardise Zero Formatting between Modules (& Classic UX) and New UX
When setting number formats, the formatting should be consistent across Modules/Classic/New UX. Below, see an example where a material zero balance is formatted as a hyphen as selected. In the New UX, this appears as a non-zero value. The workaround is to round the output to zero, but Anaplan should format consistently…

Manage Pre-Allocation in List/Config
I read a good article on LinkedIn by our colleague Mark Warren. It was about Pre-Allocation for avoiding model saves. Model saves may have impact on performance. Please see the LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mark-warren-45649ab_reducing-saves-in-data-hubs-activity-6796397489789399040-uGOR The led me to the…

Source Models mapping Vs Import Data Sources/Imports
Hi Team, When we rename the model and remapped to the same model with a new name in Model Settings-->Source Models, it is not reflecting dynamically in Import Data Sources/Imports. To see the new model name, we have to manually re-map the Import actions. It would be great if we have this feature in Anaplan- As soon as the…

Update Subsets dynamically - Formula driven Boolean
It would be nice to have the subsets updated dynamically using a formula driven boolean linking to the subsets as a formula, just like how we have the option to link Display Name to a formula in a module. This would certainly eliminate much needed efforts of running the action every time when we have to update the subset.…

Additional modes for Formula Scope
Whilst the current method for formula scope encompasses the existing options (Actual, All Versions, All Versions Except Actual and Current), there is sometimes a need for formula scope to be applicable to specific versions outside of this scope - For instance, side loading of a budget. Whilst Add Version Formula covers…

Ignore boolean flagged items/periods when using the AVERAGE function
Description: As a model builder, I would like to be able to include an additional parameter in the AVERAGE function which is to be used to exclude flagged items or periods from being included in the calculation of average values. Use Case: There are numerous circumstances where I have been required to exclude certain items…
-
Include Row Labels in Modules
Similar to Include Row Labels within the export dialogue, it would be really useful if model builders could display list properties in modules. This would be useful in both the NUX and classic dashboards. Illustrating with an example: consider the list hierarchy L1 Regions, L2 Countries, L3 Cities. The L3 Cities list has a…

Conditional Formatting for Swtiched Over Cells
Using Native Switchover functionality when the forecast data gets overriden by the Actuals can we have a color code functionality which will highlight Actual Data in Forecast version. As of now it is just editable vs not editable.
-
Summary of Visible Items Only
Note: please send Kudos to this post to get it on the roadmap. Please can either model builders or end users have the option to toggle the summary method used on lists where it is possible to view the total of visible items only. For example, consider a list Countries in a module with one line item, Revenue. Countries…

Option for setting standard totals positions on rows
Totals position on rows defaults to "after" for each new module. Would be good if one can set the default on model level.

Reorder button in Manage Views
As a model builder I would like to have the "Reorder" button in the "Manage Views" section of a module so that I can re-arrange my views quickly and easily. On big models with many views this could be a bit tricky. However, I agree that if builders keep on top of it as views are created and use naming conventions, this…

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…

Analogue of SELECT CASE function
This would allow to exclude nested IF-THEN-ELSE constructions.

Automatic Sum in Drilldown View
Ability to select multiple cells in a drill down window and see the sum on the back end, as you can on a dashboard.
-
Synchronize to Specific Level of Hierarchy
Ability to select a level of the hierarchy to show and have synchronization based on selection. Ability to have separate tables built out for a hierarchy to drill down into without creating separate modules. If we could select the level to show in addition to having synchronization based on selection it would eliminate a…

Adjust Column Widths in Blueprint Mode
Being able to adjust column widths in Blueprint mode would be great. Rather than having to open an 'Applies to' menu, format menu, or copy and paste notes, and formula references, it would be great to adjust column widths in the blueprint mode. Alternatively, it would be helpful to have a "view" window or cell (similar to…

After logging-in user continues to linked-to model
Annoyance: URL link provided for specific model > user clicks it > user not signed in to Anaplan so taken to log-in screen > after logging-in, user is taken to models dashboard, *does not* continue on to model at original link. All other tools used by me at Anaplan (with the frustrating exception of SFDC) would drop you…
-
Formula Break-Down Without Space Penalty
Currently, to adhere to best practices it is beneficial to break out parts of a complex calculation into separate line items for logic traceability and audit-ability. However, in many models we're constrained by space and can effectively reduce space (especially in large multi-dimensioned modules) by combining logic in…
-
Mass Change of Apps Associated Model
Right now if I duplicate an App to point it to a test environment I have to change each page from the manage models screen. It would be nice to be able to either copy and paste the model change to all the page lines or have a select all feature that lets me change all of them at once.
-
Actions Used in Pages
Currently we can find , In which Dashboard the Process and actions were published by referring "Used in Dashboards" column in Actions tab. Similar to that, we shall have "Used in Pages" column so that we can find in which Page(s), the given process or action was published.

Optimizer Error Handling
Hi As a Model Builder I like to see the exact constrain failure for my variable definition while constructing an Optimizer action. Currently Anaplan gives are generic message for Optimizer failure, in case we use multiple constrains for a solution and any one constrain doesn't meet the criteria process fails, if Anaplan…

Keep Source Number Format for Line Item Subsets
Would love for Anaplan to have the ability to keep the source format when doing a collect function. For example, when looking at a P&L report, Gross Profit is a $ but Gross Profit Margin is a %. When bringing values in as a COLLECT, would like those number formats to remain intact.

Quarter To Date and Half-Year To Date in the Time Summary Period
It is great that we have Quarter Totals and Half-Year Totals in the Time Summary but we also need the ability to calculate Quarter To Date and Half Year To Date, the same concept as the Year To Date (currently available). This is crucial when analysing To Date performance which is required in most of our monthly reporting.…

Formula Validation when using Line Item Subset with SUM
Please implement the same validation rules when using SUM over a Line Items Subset as are present for using SUM over List dimensions. Currently no error message is shown when creating a formula with SUM over an unneeded or incorrect Line Item Subset while an error message appears when doing the same for SUM over a List…

Allow model builders to create formatting templates
Add a functionality for model builders to create templates for modules. Pain point: within our organization we use the same customized formatting(background and font colors) for all modules. Every time we must set up formatting manually. We would appreciate the possibility to create a customized module template. Thanks,…

Option to change card type
Option to select a card and change the type of the card would be a nice to have feature. For example, selecting a grid card and changing it to a chart. Presently we have to delete the previous card and create a new one. Meaning reapply filters, reselect line items, re-pivot the dimensions, re-select the levels to show.
