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:
When importing data from a Data Hub to another model, I'm seeing values in the target model that don't exist in the source. For example, seller assignments are being tagged with subregions that aren't present in the source data - some assignments are missing expected tags, while others are mapped to seemingly random…
Hi, I need help in pulling a specific view in Anaplan XL. The first grid should display attributes of various projects, while the second grid should present the monthly financial data for these projects. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am working on a solution where the User should only have access to write/edit the list members that they add from an Action on the frontend. This action adds another list member to a selective access list. The problem is, in order to run the action, you need access to the entire list, so you would see all list…
