Hi Herman,

If I understand your question, are you trying to replicate something like Excel's NOW or TODAY formula?
As far as I know, there is no such formula yet in Anaplan. Pressing an action button can produce different results depending on the Action dedicated for that button.

I know someone created a workaround for this by referring to Excel using Anaplan Connect. The idea is to copy the result of NOW or TODAY function from Excel to Anaplan as a result of that Action button.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Regards,
Leo

A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
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…
