What is different about LOOKUP and SUM?
Hi @adisulyadi,
Determining whether to use SUM or LOOKUP depends on how the mapping table is set up between the Source List (where the original data resides) and the Target List (where the formula pulling the data resides).
A mapping table between the Source List and Target List can be set up in one of two places: (1) in a Module, using a List-formatted Line Item or (2) in a List on the Settings tab, using a List-formatted Property.
If your mapping table contains the Target List and maps to a Source List-formatted Line Item or List-formatted Property, then use LOOKUP in your formula. Setting your mapping table up this way says that each Target Item can map to one and only one Source List Item in the mapping table, so we are looking up that Source Item value. This is similar to VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP in Excel.
If your mapping table contains the Source List and maps to a Target List-formatted Line Item or List-formatted Property, then use SUM in your formula. Setting your mapping table up this way says that each Target Item can map to many Source Items, so we are summing up all Source data that is to land in each Target List Item. This is similar to SUMIF in Excel.
Thanks

I've few actions in our Supply model which when run takes some time on the "generating failure dump" step at the end of the action even though the import is a full success without warning or errors. This is just a few seconds when run for a single action, however we have a process with 120 actions, and most of these…
Hi, My org is looking to explore leveraging Google Apps script to extract data out of Anaplan and update already built templates in Google Sheets. We use the Anaplan Extension currently but find it crashes often with the amount of tabs, data, etc. Has anyone used both Anaplan OAUTH 2.0 API and Goolge Apps Script to write…
