Currently in Anaplan, when a formula contains an error, the platform proceeds to process the entire model before surfacing the issue. This behavior can lead to unnecessary delays, confusion, and performance strain—especially in large models with complex dependencies.
We recommend introducing a formula validation checkpoint that:
- Terminates processing immediately upon detecting a formula error
- Provides clear, contextual error messaging to the model builder
- Prevents downstream impacts and wasted compute cycles
- or side prompt to show which function condition is correct
This enhancement would streamline development workflows, reduce debugging time, and improve overall model stability and responsiveness—ultimately delivering a better experience for both model builders and end users.
