Hi,
Need help creating a formula that will look at LI for a rolling 5 day forecast and return back the max number of those 5 days. I set up a systems module that looks at the forecast for 5 days, and then tried to use it in the formula below.
Hi @neg177
To achieve this, you need to make a lineitem that only has values for the rolling 5 days. It's formula will be ' IF Rolling 5 days Forecast THEN Max cash demand ELSE 0'. The MAX of this lineitem will be your desired result, it can be achieved by setting the summary for this lineitem and MAX and referring the top level in the target lineitem.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mandeep
Please try the following formula.
TIMESUM('Rolling 5 day forecast', -4, 0, MAX)
@ravi
Please do not use TIMESUM() with Time in the Applies as it can have performance issues:
@rob_marshall
Does this performance hit also apply to MOVINGSUM?
Can the following formula solve the problem without the performance hit?MOVINGSUM(Line item, -4, 0, MAX)
No, MovingSum() does not have the same performance issues that TimeSum() does because MovingSum() was specifically made for line items with Time in the Applies To and TimeSum() was not. Here is a video which talks directly to that:

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…

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…
