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:
Hi - I cannot seem to create a migration for Assignment 3 and it will not allow me to update the hierarchy and proceed further. It seems to think that a link has already been created, but I don't see anything. Any ideas?
There was an error rendering this rich post.
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
