To handle dates in Anaplan for calculating slope and intercept, convert the dates into numeric values that represent the passage of time
Set up a line item (let’s call it Base Date) with the date format and manually set it to the earliest date in your system (Like January 1, 1900 )
Convert a date to a number for your purpose, you can use the DATE function with the VALUE function.
