Allow for line item subset to be more than just number formatted
Description of the enhancement required: Line Item Subsets are often used to build filter modules, as an alternative to using the Show/Hide functionality. Using a Boolean against a Line Item Subset on a filter module makes it very easy to select which columns should be shown or hidden on a dashboard. An example of the…

Ability to select versions as a list formatted line item for use in lookup statements
Versions are useful as they allow switchover functionality enabling a user to both enter a forecast on a line and see actuals in the same line item. However, comparing versions to eachother (any version to any other version dynamically) requires a "Versions List" and logic to engage that list with the Version you want to…

September 2022 releases and October sneak peek - View Modules Used In Pages
The release this month is helpful but I think it missed expectations. What would be more helpful is to be able to see what UX pages a module is published on in the exact same way the "Used in Dashboards" column is in the Modules. The update would more or less be "View Pages Used in Modules". I used the column in the…

Be able to select a default summary type for a model
In the spirit of trying to keep our models size-efficient, we encourage model builders to set the summary type to "none" whenever possible in calculation modules (trying to follow the DISCO method here!). Unfortunately, when a new line item is created, the summary type always defaults to "sum" and it's very easy for model…

Statistical Functions Package: Normal Distribution
Concept: Include basic Statistical Functions in Anaplan Description: I miss some basic statistical functions among the available functions. These formulas are extremely useful when it comes to calculate chances or risks, which is a common and useful bit within the forecast calculations. A good example is the lack of a…

Version subsets and selection as a format
It would be great if you could select Versions as a format of a line item. This would make it much easier to pull data from a specific version into a module without versions, for example using a lookup within a line item. It would also be great if we could create subsets of versions in models where there are many versions,
-
Versions as list format
Make Versions available as a list-format. Benefits: Allows the end-user to select the version they want to look at from a drop-down making for better variance reporting. Allows you to map from a normal hierarchy into a version dimension *Excel add-in needs to support & support with filters

RANDOM() function
Function that will generate random numbers, between specified min & max values. Excel has two functions to provide random numbers: RAND() generates a decimal value between 0 and 1 RANDBETWEEN( x , y ) generates an integer >= x and <= y It may be worth considering an extension to these functions such as: RANDOM( x , y , z)…

Mouseover Hover Text for Model Builders
I think it would be helpful to model builders if there was a hover over option to display the text of a particular element. There are instances where the description is cut off for certain display elements and there is no option to resize columns for that element (I see this most frequently in the Module Blueprint and Data…

The ability to add a dynamic sub total to a grid
I would like the ability to add a dynamic subtotal to a grid, so when rows are filtered out the total is updated on the fly
-
New Function To Convert Date Format to Text Format
It would be very useful to have this functionality rather than convert to numbers through DAY, MONTH, YEAR and back to text through TEXT function. Best practice would dictate to split these functions out but this increases clutter and causes unnecessary calculations in models.
-
Make Versions a Production List
Enabling Versions as a production list would allow business users (not developers) to add flexibility and enable business users better management of versions. Consider the scenario where there is a variable amount of Forecasts that could happen in a year, or if a Forecast becomes current/next.

Increase the size limit of notes
A description of the enhancement required: The notes on line items is 250 characters which isn’t enough. A story for why the enhancement is required (specifically, how would it aid the business process): When you write a note on a formula, you have to explain WHAT is does, WHY you did it, HOW it’s used etc etc, 250 isn’t…
-
Multi-layer sort
Would be very useful to have a multi-layer sort (not filter) like in Excel i.e. Sort by column A alphabetically, then by column B, then by C. Acknowledging the workaround to concatenate the desired fields into a text line item and sort by that, but to me a publicised workaround is always a pointer to a needed/desired…

User list used as a dimension, allow to create a subset to reduce module size
I would like to use the user list as a dimension so users are not overwriting each others settings, but the module with the data the settings select is big and so is my user list, so this adds a lot of unnecessary model size. Can't there be the ability to create subsets of the user list when used as a dimension, like for…
-
Version Subsets
Ability to create subsets of the versions list Benefits: This will allow versions to be used much more versatile way, as the model-builder will be able to specify which versions will show up in which modules. For example, use forecast & actuals in some modules, but use V1, V2, V3 for scenario planning in other modules.

Stop the mistake research processing
As a Model Builder, I would like to be able to stop the mistake research by using an action button. This processing can be very long when we are building an heavy model (5-10 minutes) and most of the time we already know where is the mistake (format, etc.). That's why we can save a lot of time if we could click to stop the…

Drilldown highlights relevant logic string
When a user uses the drilldown feature it would be awesome if the platform highlighted the particular logic string that was being applied within the formula to determine the final result. This would be helpful to parse long, complex formulas with many possible results. For instance, sometimes formulas have many IF a THEN b…

ITEM function cannot be used on composite lists with Summary of "Formula"
To reproduce: 1. Create a parent list and a composite child list. 2. Create a module with 1 line item with formula "ITEM(Child List)" and list formatted to "Child List". Applies To should be "Child List". 3. Change Summary to "Formula", the following error is shown: The formula for 'mod1'.'item1' is invalid: 'item1' =…

Ability to exclude zero values from AVERAGE calculation
A common requirement we see on customer implementations is to be able to calculate the average of a set of values but exclude zero values. For example if we have the following set of values (10,0,0,8,0), the average excluding zeros would be (10+8)/2 = 9. The current AVERAGE function cannot exclude zeroes and so gives an…

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…

Ability to sum based on boolean
Description of enhancement required Ability to allow to aggregate using Boolean mapping. Currently mapping can only be applied over List elements. It would simplify many formulas if we could simply SUM/PRODUCT over TRUE/FALSE Boolean values. An example of enhancement - See example below *List called "Client" with 3 items.…
