Is there any easy way to replace a Line Item in the whole model in all formulas? right now i have to check hundreds of modules to switch out a Line Item, which is quite tedious

Hi @GP , 1 of the ways is to copy the entire line items tab to an excel, find & replace your line item and then paste it back. It might need some work in the excel to add the ' before and after the formula but would also save you considerable amount of time. If your line item is generic & present in multiple modules with the same name then you could just rename it for this task to something very unique (both source & target line items) and then after the exercise rename it back to what it was. Hope this helps! :)
yes multiple modules, hundreds..and no, the line item is referred in other formulas in other module line items, its not just doubled by name and content. At least i could use the internal replace function (Ctrl+H) in the formula editor in anaplan, this helped its not just renaming. i want to use another (a new one) Line Item which replaces the old one, and the old should remain im already done - did it manually, but im sure i need to do this again somewhen
@GP - Yes, you could copy this tab to an excel and lets say in this example I want to change the line item "Mapping" to "Mapping new" in the entire model wherever it exists. Copy paste this tab into an excel, do a find & replace for mapping to mapping new & copy back the result.
This way all the formulas referring to mapping earlier now refer to mapping new.
i didn't dare to paste the full line item collumn 😅
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…
