History on Formula Changes
Similar to Cell or Module history, there should be an option to get on demand history on formula changes. An option in blueprint mode to select any line item formula and get history option should be added. This will be helpful to track formula change in multiple model builder environments.

Today() Function
I'm wondering why in Anaplan we can only have to input current period in Time. As we're using Anaplan as Supply Chain planification tools and we work really at planning on days level. So it's necessary for us to determine "today"'s date. The solution we use now is to launch an automatic import and update the "Today" item.…

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…

Extend model map to drill down to line items
Drill down model map to line item level At present, model map displays the modules and its data flow across the model However, it would greatly helpful to have a provision to drill down the model map from module to line item level and extend the data flow display across line items similar to value driver tree providing…

Automatic update of Model names in Source model mapping when model names are changed
Hi, Model names in Source model mapping should automatically update when source model names are changed. Also, the name within the Import Data Sources should automatically get updated based on changed Model names. Can we have this feature? Currently, this is not happening and it is confusing when we debug old actions.…

Known Issues on Anaplan Formulas Communication and Subscription
As a model builder and an Anaplan Partner, I would like to be notified of all known issues to existing Anaplan formulas/functions so that I can quickly determine whether the function I am about to use is impacted by known issues and what workarounds are available to mitigate the issue(s) until it is fixed so that my models…

'Concatenate' as a Summary Method for Text formatted line item
It would be great to have 'Concatenate' as a Summary Method for Text formatted line item (along with First Non-blank and Last Non-blank). Sometimes, there might be a need to consolidate bunch of text inputs in a line item at a higher level in hierarchy. This functionality would help achieve that. Also, if this summary…

Usage of Lookup on Users
As we all know, We are not able to use Users formatted line item in Lookup to get particular user data. Can we have option to do the lookup on user formatted line item? It will help us creating consolidated dashboards on what-if scenarios by user dimensions.

Isfirstoccurrence - Argument for whether to consider Case-Sensitivity
I think it would be a better option to have as a model builder. Currently, Isfirstoccurrence deals with Case-Sensitive data as separate occurrences for eg. NA and na would both be seen as separate occurrences. There are many cases where, as a model-builder, You don't want this to happen. So, having an argument to confirm…

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.…

Generate Code for Assign function - similar to display name attribute
It would be nice to have a functionality which can generate code / auto-populate code, just like how a display name is populated. A property, specifying the code attribute could be useful and reduce the effort needed to create actions and line items to generate code. When we create an item using the assign functionality,…

Please change the layout of blueprint view!
The New UX is great and has drastically improved the end-user experience however, the model builder experience has really lagged behind. Anaplan models should be as easy to build as they are to use. There are some really easy wins to be had that will drastically improve the experience for model builders, in this…

Summary Methods Based On Line Items - Product as an example or Weighted totals
Hi All, I feel that the summary methods in Anaplan could be improved further by including more flexible options to use other line items (same dimensionality) to influence summary method. For example on a model I have been building recently, many of the summaries require the product of 2 line items divided by the total of…

Pre-calculation check for duplicate line items
I am sure the acute pain felt when locking-up the model for simply creating a duplicate line item is felt by many model builders. Please could we have a simple check (this already happens elsewhere in the model e.g. actions) that ensures there are no duplicate line items before the model is calculated/refreshed? It only…

Custom Blue Print View
A simple suggestion to help with the organisation and maintenance of models (and I assume a really simple suggestion to implement): Allow model builders to save blueprint views (in the same way it works for regular views) and even change the default model blueprint view for all modules so that we can change the order of…

Subset of Versions
Can we have a subset of Versions so that whenever needed, we can use single version member in the modules? Currently I can think of one use case when we have to drive opening & closing of periods for users to enable data entry only for a specifically opened period or set of periods. There may be better use cases as well…

ALLPERIODS Value function
We currently have time functions to return the MONTHVALUE, QUARTERVALUE, YEARVALUE etc... it would be helpful to add a final function which will return the Time.All Periods value, this would enable developers to avoid having to add summary methods to determine the all periods value. It may be there is a work-around but ran…

Drag & Drop Manage Views
The current process for managing saved views for modules is a bit time consuming. If you have a lot of saved views for a module and you need to sort them out. You need to click each saved view and either click "Move Up" or "Move Down", then it would still take time for the system to refresh. So imagine if you have 10 or…

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…

Version formula to work on single Line Items
Allow the usage of a Version formula in the Blueprint view of a module to work on single line items, as compared to the current state of working with a LISS. The usage of a LISS makes it more difficult to maintain if i need only one calculation to abide a specific logic, and creating a LISS for one formula change and…
