In Level-1 under "8.8.4 Activity: Add Formulas to Size, Margin Report Module" why do we need to change the Margin % line item Summary Method setting to Formula.
What is the outcome or output of this change?
Is that a major impact on output?
Hi @IrfanMohammed
By changing the summation method to a formula, you correct a logical error.
Example:
Margin, % on SKU 1 is 5% and on SKU 2 it is 10%. With the standard summation method, you would get Margin, % as 15%, which is incorrect. The summation method will re-divide the formula for the brand Margin by the revenue and get a recalculated Margin % value relevant to the brand.
Attached is a screenshot that shows the recalculation. Without changing the Margin summation, the % on the chocolate will be 1000%, which is fundamentally wrong.
Summary "Formula" at the summary level means that the same logic which is used to evaluate at lower levels will be used at the parent levels . formula summary is used for percentage since percent should depend on the calculation values even at higher levels .
@IrfanMohammed The impact is on aggregated cells ( upper-level cells) from a module.
By default, Anaplan applies a formula only to the cells that are at the intersection of the base members from the lists. To show values in the upper-level cells ( intersection of the upper elements of a list) Anaplan applies the Summary method ( Sum, AVG, etc..).
When the summary method is changed to "Formula" for a line-item, you "tell" Anaplan to re-apply the Formula also to the upper-level cells.
For calculation of the Prices or Percentages, in most of the cases, you will need to change the summary method to "Formula" in order to have correct results in upper-level cells.
Hope it helps

Does anyone have any documentation on the trade-offs of having 1 model for all components of planning (service revenue, product revenue, labour planning), vs multiple models 1 for each and a consolidation model to tie it all together?
I am still now to the calculation of Anaplan XL, i would like to get the proportion in terms of value between child vs parent (within the hierarchy) For instance, i want to get the % of each 08S( child) vs the parent value (BL TS), i would like IN general a formula that give the proportion of child vs parent dynamically,…
Why are non‑admin users unable to view Module information on the Anaplan page, while workspace administrators can? (After click the three dots on the grids right up corner) Are there any configuration options that allow non‑admin users to view module details without granting full workspace administrator access?
