Hi, I want to use Rank Function.
I want to rank "Num" with Location-Product.
I input formula into RANK Lineitem.
But the Rank function doesn't run.
What is the problem?

I believe it is TIME dimension. Since every time member/item is considered to be a separate block logically it won't rank across blocks. To test this hypothesis you can get rid of Time dimension and use the same formula and see Rank working perfectly.
Since there are no duplicate time periods, it will consider every cell to be unique and rank every cell as 1. Remember One Whole List (Non Hierarchical) is considered to one block whereas in case of TIME and VERSIONS every Item of these is considered as one block. Hence rank works differently on TIME dimension.
Hope that helps

To work around this you could map your Anaplan Time to a Fake Time List, perform the rank and then map back to Anaplan time.
Set up a list with items 1-n where n=number of periods in your timescale +1
Set up 2 mapping modules - 1 dimensioned by Anaplan Time and 1 by Fake Time. Have line items in those modules to pull in the appropriate mapping.
Set up a module with the same dimensions as above but replace Anaplan time with the Fake time list
Lookup the data you want to rank using your Fake Time -> Real-time mapping module
Calculate the RANK
Pass the rank info back to the Anaplan Time module using your Anaplan Time_Fake time lookup module.
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…
