Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway to have random number generator?
Thanks
Hi Lauren,
I don't think it is possible to build this easy way as Anaplan does not have formula to randomly pick up a number and all new inputs are calculated as soon as new cell value is saved.
What you can do is sort of illusion of randomness. It can be achieved by e.g. creating couple of inputs items which are run through couple of conditional formulas, modulus function etc. basing on what your input values are.
But as metioned it won't be real random.

Is there an example of how this has been done?
In case you are still interested in this, I was looking into standard random number generation methods ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation#Computational_methods ) and realized the most common type could be built in Anaplan quite easily - it requires a "seed" value and the time dimension, but was not hard at all to build! I wrote a brief explanation here:
I am trying upload data from a CSV with date. For size reasons, I don't want to dimension the module by date but bring it in as a line item formatted as date. The problem is that person that will be doing the upload is in Italy, and their date format is different. When she does the upload, the date gets messed up…
Hi, when I am assigning the account to the territory I am always facing error as below and account never get assigned to the territory , what could be the reason ? When I use same method for unassign it works .
A while back, I shared a pattern for extracting and reporting on Anaplan audit data using a Python project hosted on GitHub. I wrote that during my time on the Operational Excellence Group (OEG) at Anaplan. The Python solution still works, and plenty of teams are running it today. The problem it solves hasn't changed:…
