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:
Hello Everyone, I am seeking guidance on how I could create a workflow process in Fluence consolidation workspace, using the ADO import task. Does anybody know what kind of information I need to fill in these fields? I have watched the ADO training but only explains the data transformation and integration within Anaplan…

Hi I would like to set up pagination in management reports by assigning a page number to a list item and its parent but I also want to be able to keep a block of parent and list items together and not split over two pages.
