Hi, this has been posted a couple of times before and I am not sure if this has been solved or not.
How do we ensure that we have the time period updated automatically in Anaplan? Should we always do this manually every Week?
Thanks
Sidd
Hi Sidd,
It depends on your timescale and your purposes.
As an example - we have a model on weekly timescale. It should have 12 months forecast. Which is 48 weeks.
But I've set 56 weeks and filtered all modules to show 48 weeks starting from current week (we have automated interface, which loads current date every night).
It allows to shift time period only once per 2 months.

HI, How do you have the following done?
"we have automated interface, which loads current date every night.- can you please explain? is it through Anaplan Connect?
Also - Time period shift of only once per 2 months - is that a constraint or is it flexible?
Yes, it's done through Anaplan Connect. BATCH script creates .txt file with current date and upload it to Anaplan model using Anaplan Connect.
This is flexible. Lets say users need 10 weeks for planning. You set your model to have more than 10 weeks (14 for example), and show only 10 weeks by applying filters. Now you have 4 future hidden weeks. When date is changed to next week, you'll have 3 hidden future weeks etc...
In this example you should change time period once per 4 weeks. But you can use more or less "hidden" weeks.
Hope screenshot will help.
The July and August releases added several useful capabilities to Anaplan AI, including the ability to create and retrieve saved views and create list import actions. It would be valuable to extend these capabilities to support the full end-to-end user story: creating a saved view and using it as the source for an import…
Hello there, we are using AnaplanXL to pull data from 3 different sources into one Excel file. Two of them are Azure SQL data bases and the third is Anaplan itself. Whenever the Excel is opened 3 pop up windows to log in to each data base appear. Until they appear and everything is entered or clicked already 2 minutes are…
Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.
