Good day
I have an SQL server as source of my data. What are my options to import this data to Anaplan?

Sorry for the confusion, the source data is from SQL Database. Can we use Anaplan Connect to automatically import data?

Hi Renier,
The Anaplan Connect guide provides documentation for connecting to a SQL database to extract data. It uses JDBC to connect to your database, and execute a query you define.

Jesse

The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
