Hi @saurabh_kumar_kunwar,

For such cases you can use cumulate function ( https://help.anaplan.com/cumulate-1173a903-81bb-4838-a4d0-1c9f9c739aa3 ).

In you case what you can do is:

Write a formula Cumulate(1, 'First period?', *name of the week list*)
Where 'First period?' is a boolean-formatted line which represents the first week of every month.

To create a correct formula for the 'First period?' line item you can do the following:

Create supporting line item 'First week to months level', with formula Item(*name of the week list*) and apply summary "first non-blank
Create a line item 'Month' applied to weeks with month list formatting and write formula Parent(item(*name of the week list*)) /* you probably have the same somewhere in the model, so you can use existing one*/
Finally in the 'First period?' line item write a formula item(*name of the week list*) = 'First week to months level'[lookup: 'Month']

Kind regards,
Kostya
