so if I want to compare line item values for A,B,C,D,E but i select them in order of BCDAE for displaying in grid in the management reporting slide feature of Anaplan. How can that be worked out?
@salil16, Sort the grid and and not use the Order action. Order action will sort list items in list and it will re-order the list items for everyone.
Give a refresh button (Data Write Action NUX) and line item to enter the sequence of list items manually.
@salil16 Follow steps below
2. Step 1 should open up the module view below. Then on the far right click on the item highlighted in yellow which will provide you a dropdown selection. select line items
3. Step 2 should open up the Reorder slide bar below. Drag and drop the line items to the position that you want
Thanks for answering @TristanS . Is it possible to have user input the order of these items in the grid? for example…there are 10 list items A to J …he selects 5 list items A to E in the order EBDCA. possible to have the grid showing corresponding line item values in this order?
@salil16 so to clarify do you want each user to be able to order it in their preferred sequence? E.g. user 1 ABCDE, user 2 EBDCA, etc? If yes, then you'd have to include a user dimension for that and the way you can implement it by adding a line item for sequencing, E=1, B=2, etc … and then apply a sort against the sequencing line item
Or if it's going to be a global sorting sequence, all users will see it in that order. You 2 options:
If it's none of the above, please provide more details on the requirement
Salil, This is possible in Board/Worksheet View. Users can go to the Show/ Hide (eye icon), and re-arrange/ reorder/ show/ hide the line item the way they want.
Workaround: I understand you wanted this in Management Report. In Reports, you can give a static view and same view can be built in Board page. In your Report give a link to that Board page. So if user want to rearrange line items, they go to the Board View and do the needful.
HI @TristanS yeah its the first case where each user wants to sort it as per their preference. I have the user dimension inlcluded... but i am getting a different order when i run sorting action and not the selected one…is it due to undefined top level?.
Hi @Dikshant .
Amazing. that worked. Thanks a lot for helping
Also @Dikshant , any idea if this can be implemented for nested dimensions as well…the sort function is working for flat list but if we try to use on nested dimension, the sort is disabled
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…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
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…
