Using different versions in formula

hinamahmood1994

Hi,

I'm trying to create a formula that has 2 different views of forecasts. My current and my previous. Current is pulling in fine. Struggling to create a formula that says Fcst V2 = Previous months Forecast. So if Current forecast is p4. I want my FCST V2 to equal my p3 Current forecast.

Set up a module dimensioned by you "versions" list and create Boolean line items for each, so effectively it is Versions by Versions

Tick each versions against each one, so effectively you have a "diagonal" set of tick boxes

Then in you target formula you can refer to this module:

IF version mapping.IsversionFcst2? then else IF version mapping.IsversionPrevFcst then ..,. etc.

Does that make sense?

Can you not use the function previousversion()? https://help.anaplan.com/anapedia/Content/Calculation_Functions/All/PREVIOUSVERSION.html

Hiya,

So that won't work because my master module source doesn't include versions.
