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

Have a look at this article. It explains the differences and how to do it

Hello team, I am logging into Anaplan through SSO. I would like to create a batch script to import a file into Anaplan. For the Spoke model, I would like to run an process via a batch script to import data from the Data Hub. Can anyone provide me script for both the condition.
is there a way to import data with months in columns (usual excel table view)? I have to transform the data so there are rows to cover each period in the upload data form, but I am wondering if there is a better way to just import the data as is with the months in the columns. please let me know what you think. thank you,
Hello, I am receiving an 'Anaplan Upload Failed' Status Description when testing my integration with a Big Query dataset. The integration imports data from BQ to our Anaplan model. No other details given in the error log. I suspect that Cloudworks is not even picking up the file but am not sure what we did wrong on the set…
