Hi All,
Has anyone completed exercise # 4.8.2 Activity: Import Data into E2 Employees# List? I am not able to procced with this, can anyone j
@nilvshah
Good callout. The first step is to recognize that E2 is a "Numbered" list. Meaning, it doesn't need a Name because Anaplan will assign a number to it. So your mapping of the file should look like this:
Thanks so much... it works for me...
Explained so well, eloquently and succinctly @JaredDolich!
This was really helpful.
@JaredDolich
what do you mean anaplan will assign a number to it? It seemed like that's what we did when we used the code (column 2)

Hey! Great question, my answer was a bit ambiguous. Let me 'splain.
Every list has two unique identifiers. A name and a code. Both are TEXT formatted. When we create a numbered list we allow Anaplan to fill in the name identifier for us, in this case it's number-looking even though it's really text. So the first three list items would be given #1, #2, #3, respectively for their names. When we use a numbered list, you cannot use a column in the input file that refers to the name because Anaplan has already put a value in there. So, we have to use code instead.
In this example, with employees, we cannot use the employee name because Anaplan has no unique record that refers to the employees name. We have #1 and a code, presumably their employee ID. So when we import data, we must import using the code not the name.
Hope that helps!
Hi, I have a worksheet for end users to enter new hires into, for which the list item which persist across versions. I am having an issue where the end user can delete a list item using the grid functionality because the Current Version value is blank, but I want to prevent them deleting them (as data will be lost from…
Hey everyone, I wanted to share the Anaplan Python SDK with you. It's a Python Library that wraps all Anaplan APIs and makes it easier to interact with Anaplan programmatically. It is mostly designed with Data Integration Scenarios in mind, but it does support all APIs including ALM, SCIM, Audit, and Cloud Works. Please…
Hello, I am receiving an 'Anaplan Upload Failed' Status Description when testing my integration with a Big Query dataset. The integration imports data from BQ to our Anaplan model. No other details given in the error log. I suspect that Cloudworks is not even picking up the file but am not sure what we did wrong on the set…
