Hi,
I am using a TIMESUM average and I'm wondering if there is a way to exclude zeros from the average. Formula: TIMESUM(Build Factor, TIME.'Q2 FY16', TIME.'Q4 FY19', AVERAGE) Pictures attached.
Hi @nawalker56 ,
First of all, try not to use hard coded time references. There are multiple potential issues if you write the formula like that. Instead, use a module to define the start and end of the timesum and then use that (see image below).
For the average calculation, in the source module use another line item to mark a data point to be 1 or 0 depending on whether it is non zero or not. Then, in your destination calc module, use two timesums - one to sum the data and one to sum the non zero data point count and divide the first one by the second. The below screenshots and formula should help:
Non zero Data:
IF Data <> 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0
Final Formula:
TIMESUM(Source Data Module.Data, 'SYS01: TimeSum Bounds'.Start, 'SYS01: TimeSum Bounds'.End) / TIMESUM(Source Data Module.Non Zero, 'SYS01: TimeSum Bounds'.Start, 'SYS01: TimeSum Bounds'.End)
Hope this helps!
set format to 0 decimal places
and if still you want to hide the zero values then apply filter >0.
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
