When using list versions, how do I make the movingsum formula include the forecast output for previous months in the calculation of a given months forecast??I cant include a "previous" function within the movingsum formula
@estebanmartinezanavate
This is the constraint that MOVINGSUM has. To achieve this functionality, break your formula in two different line items. In the first line item calculate the PREVIOUS value and in the second calculate the MOVINGSUM of the previous value.

@estebanmartinezanavate the trick is to know that most of the Time functions, if you "look in the past", you can reference the line-item itself, including the MOVINGSUM function (like a recursive reference).
Below is an example to calculate the Forecast months as AVG of the previous 12 months:
in a line-item called '12 months average for FCT' you can put a formula like:
IF Actual Month? THEN Actual Input ELSE MOVINGSUM('12 months average for FCT', -12, -1, AVERAGE)
How to consider a month as Actual or not, there are different ways to do it...
You can have the same approach for this formula also when you use Versions.
Hope it helps

Reading your query closely can I clarify your question.
Are you looking to include values from a diffferent version in your MOVINGSUM?
For example;
Current version is Forecast P2.
Do you need to pull the MOVINGSUM value relating to a previous version, in this case Forecast P1?
Hello team, I am logging into Anaplan through SSO. I would like to create a batch script to import a file into Anaplan. For the Spoke model, I would like to run an process via a batch script to import data from the Data Hub. Can anyone provide me script for both the condition.
is there a way to import data with months in columns (usual excel table view)? I have to transform the data so there are rows to cover each period in the upload data form, but I am wondering if there is a better way to just import the data as is with the months in the columns. please let me know what you think. thank you,
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…
