Hello Anaplanners - I am trying to add a 2nd column on this module that calculates variance between 2H Budget minus Forecast as you can see in the 2nd pic. 1st pic shows my versions. Every time I attempt to create a new row for this calculation, I get the error that you can see in the 3rd pic. At a past company, I was able to essentially stage the data because our versions module had a "Parent" column. Is there an effective workaround to calculate the a 2nd variance column as I'm trying to do? Many thanks.
Hey - Can you add in single quotes so formula reads instead: forecast - '2h budget'. I don't think it likes you are including numeric values that are not escaped in your formula.

As @jnoone says, sometimes the ' s are needed. so if in doubt, point and click rather than typing in.
Generally anything other than a space (e.g. -, >, number etc.) will need 's.

We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. 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…
