Hi, Anaplan Community,
I have a question about the Waterfall Chart in the UX.I'd like to have the positive values start from 0 instead of the previous line item. I would appreciate your input/assistance.

Hi @sosunkwo ,
It looks like the setup does not have formulas for sub-totals and totals. In this case, I believe Gross Margin should be derived from previous line items which will assign relationships to display the waterfall.
Please check if the below helps you:

@Vinay VaradarajMplease can you elaborate.
Waterfall charts need summaries defined by way of formulas. Below is the same example with blueprint view:
Sub-total = sum of the first 4 line items
Total = Sub-total + copay + Other costs
By doing this, the system assigns parents and summaries to line items which help in displaying waterfall charts:
So effectively, you need to have sub-totals/totals line items which aggregate the underlying information to display waterfall chart. These columns for sub-totals/totals start from zero unlike the rest.
Hope this helps!
@Vinay VaradarajMWhere are your Net Demand & Gross Margin Line items?
Basically, the line items which you would want to start from zero should be your sub-totals/totals, which in this case are Net Demand and Gross Margin.
regards,
We're looking to feed live or near-live Anaplan data into Claude through MCP, but our current approach — exporting CSV files via the Anaplan Bulk Export API, loading them into MySQL, and querying from there — has a significant lag (hour-long turnaround). Curious if anyone has found a faster path, whether that's through the…
Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.
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…
