combination of properties import code creation
Anyone who has imported on a combination of properties into a list will understand the frustrations that can arise. For me there are two specific frustrations that i can think of a simple solution to. The problems: 1. Importing into a list using a combination of properties ALWAYS creates a new list member even if the same…

Add custom Text Prompt or Dialog Box to Actions
In the new UX, I would love to have the ability to add custom text to the dialog box for imports and other actions, or add a confirmation prompt. For example, "warning: running this submit process will make all entries final and prevent further editing".

Excel add-in German Localisation
As an end user I would like the Excel add-in to be localised for the Standard German language.

Update Target Object of Import Actions
Hi, It would be nice to have the ability to update the Target Object of and Import Action to a module or list with similar/identical definitions vs creating new actions from scratch. We have come across instances when building out a model we determine that an already created Import Action needs to have the source data…

Bulk Copy - Scheduling
We all know how useful Bulk Copy is - When the data across the model needs to be moved from one version to another or from one list item to another list item Bulk Copy plays the pivotal role. WS admin has to perform this task manually all the time as per the need. Can we have an action created when WS Admin runs the Bulk…

Set default file to everyone
Would be really handy if Anaplan did either one of the following actions for import data sources: * Set the default file type as everyone or; * Permanently saves files regardless of default file type selected. This would really assist in debugging and remapping import files.

Have a timestamp on when an action or process was last ran
It would be great to have Anaplan built in functionality to tell a user when an action or process was last ran. This would be extremely helpful in identifing forecast locking, data loads, etc.

Translation of time list for views and exports
Recently I've been working on an implementation of Anaplan to a non-english speaking customer (portuguese in my case). As part of that journey I was very pleased with the fact that in the data imports Anaplan can translate time from different excel languages into the standard time list - in other words months in Excel…

Copy Paste Formatting into other Tools (Excel)
Description: Much like this example, Anaplan formats in odd and weird ways when moving into Excel. Numbers being copied pasted into excel should retain a numbered format instead of scientific notation when pasted into Excel. Example of Enhancement: Values copied from Anaplan have a format attached to the value in the…

Allow process to continue after action failure
As we schedule more processes via Hyperconnect where end users are not triggering themselves, we need to allow for processes to continue even upon an action failure. Perhaps allowing users to choose when creating the process whether or not they'd like the process to continue even if an action fails would be great. Just…

Display Action Notes on the Pop-Up Message, before a Process/Action is Run
In the Actions menu, all processes and actions has a text based "Notes" section. Being very upfront, I honestly didn't even know this section existed until about a few months ago, but I definitely think it can be further leveraged. It would be great if these notes could appear every time, next to your action, before you…

Prompt for Import Data Source name and Import Action name
Something that would considerably help with building cleaner models would be if users could enter names for import data sources and import actions during the import dialogue. This would prompt model builders to assign a considered name, and substantially help to identify import data sources and import actions after the…

Improve time period imports for CSVs
The standard excel format for Month-Year is MMM-YY. I.e. if a user types Jan 20, excel will convert this to a numeric value and display Jan-20. Anaplan does not recognise this as a valid time period when importing. As this is the default excel format, it would be great if Anaplan could recongise this correctly. Rather than…

Anaplan Excel Add-In ( Reset Format)
Anaplan Excel Add-In 3.3 (Read/Write Query) Ability to reset any formatting as currently any changes made to Excel, Anaplan tries to over lay the difference than try to wipe out changes and replace with default view. Currently, we have the reset option in Dashboard, need the same in Excel.

Date formatted columns taking more inputs correctly
Issue: When you copy+paste a table into excel, excel's default behavior for "Date" formatted or similarly formatted information changes the data slightly to a "MMM-YY" format from a "MMM YY" format and you are unable to paste back into the model/load as a basic default using upload. Current Solution: 1) Manually re-enter…

Synchronize filters across tables in Excel add-in
Add ability to synchronize filters across tables in Excel add-in. Working with the Excel add-in and extracting data from different modules, some of the filters across the different extracts overlap. A good example hereof is forecast cycle or specific versions. Currently, we have to change the forecast cycle in each sheet…

Outlook connector for Anaplan to sync schedules for meeting invites and activities from workflow
Hi Anaplan, I believe a great development for the platform would be to have a native connector that links to Outlook or other schedule planning applications. This would allow users to sync their meeting and calendar invites and also sync workflow messages and requests directly with Outlook. This would mean in the most used…

Excel Add-in: remove 1m cell limitation
Hi, Anaplan connection to MS Excel is limited to 1mil cells only. This considerably limits as to what we can do with auto update of data straight from Anaplan to MS Excel. Removing the ceiling on cell count will really boost the efficiency for data analysis. At the moment, users have to either reduce the selection by…

Powerpoint Addin Chart Types
Can we update the Powerpoint Addin to support all of the available charts that are available in the latest version of Powerpoint such as the Waterfall chart as an example. Since it is a case of providing data in the correct format for the underlying Excel spreadsheet that PPT uses as the basis of the chart this should be…

Powerpoint Addin Integration with New UX
For the Powerpoint Addin I would the ability to be able to import Cards and or Pages into the Powerpoint Addin. This will enable me to replicate the views available in the New UX into Powerpoint for those users who would not necessarily have access to Anaplan. The import process should create a dynamic link so that the…

Choose column separator in Exports
When we export modules containing text-formatted line items and we choose csv or txt format, the column separator is automatically forced on 'comma'. If the text within the line item contains any comma in its body, it will shift the following columns and damage the whole file. It would be great to be able to choose the…

Excel and Powerpoint add-ins for Office Online

Ability to select a specific Page for entire Workbook when many Excel Add-in Data Pulls are Used
It would be great if we could set an overall workbook time period that would allow us to set the time period we or any "Page" selection for workbooks with multiple Anaplan Excel Add-in pulls. We would also still need the ability to change individual worksheet/tabs data pulls. For example, we may have a workbook where 90%…

Ability to copy/paste values incl. hidden decimals from Excel
When copy/pasting values from an Excel table to Anaplan, it only includes the decimals shown in Excel. E.g. if the value 0.5499 is in Excel but the cell in Excel is set to only show one decimal place, the value displayed will be 0.5. When copy/pasting to Anaplan, 0.5 will be used and not the full 0.5499. This issue can of…

API customising for UPSERT ENDPOINT
It is required for the deployment of the UPSERT EndPoint as part of the Anaplan API to send only the new and changed entries from the SAP system to Anaplan instead of sending each time the full load file. We are currently trying to get Data from SAP via CPI( SAP Cloud Platform Integration) and we are facing this challange…

Model ID to display in Imports tab
It would be good to see model ID as a column in Actions->imports tab somewhere near Source Label & Source Object. I faced a specific issue when the model has a lot of imports, which were developed during a long period, and during this period, the source model was several times moved/renamed. Then it is nearly impossible to…

Print or get source to target line item mapping through API
Hi Anaplan community, Based on clients needs, I wanted to figure out a way to print out the line items' source --> Target mapping through the Anaplan API. This is when a model builder is doing an import and gets to manually map data from the source file to the target line items but here we can quickly have an array or list…

Time Display of Line Items Formatted based on Time Formatting in the Module
Treat line items in a dashboard based on the Time Formatting in the module when displaying data. For a simple example, I have a customer code, customer name, and its monthly revenue in a module. I only want to see the customer code and customer name at the beginning once, as it is does not have time applied to it, but I…

See mappings for file imports
Hello, I constantly run into the same issue and I'm hoping that someone can help suggest a solution. When I create an action that imports from a csv file into a list or module, I always find it difficult to re-open up that import action and revise (or just view) the mapping that was previously created. Instead, I have to…
