Hi all, I want to sort data in Dashboards using time, showing the current year 1st and then followed by previous years, is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Madhumanasa
Option 1:
Create a new line item and rank it in descending order so that current year is ranked 1 and so on. Then in UX sort your view using this rank line item
Option 2:
Create a year formatted line item and populate it with formula. Sort your UX view in descending order based on this line item
Cheers!!
@Madhumanasa,
Sorting is not possible with nested dimensions. You can sort the lists in order to see the sorting in dropdowns and grids, but sorting the Anaplan time with a list would not be possible. For now you can use “show” function in order of selecting line items decide the final showing order just like select line items to show and manually order the months you want to show in required sequence.
Refer to this discussion which happened long back.
Hi, thanks for you message. This sorting of data is with custom time dimension, that should change every year according to the current year. will the rank function apply for this, as i wanted this to be a automated process, that does not require to change every year
In that case, you need to store the current year (manually) in a dimensionless LOOKUP Module and then -1 year as Previous Year and +1 Year as Future Year in different line items calculated and then in your Custom Time System module give current year as 1, Previous Year as 2 and Future Year as 3 using IF ELSE condition and then automated the sort action.
I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context and…
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
