Comparing two modules

sunilramakumar

Hi - Because of a unique use case, we had to create two modules with similar information except a couple of columns. I want to compare if the data is correct in the new model. Can you please suggest on how I can do this ?

Hi @sunilramakumar 

 

Without going into too  much details about your your use case i can think of few ways 

 

if you are doing this in a very adhoc way then 

• download data from module 1 and module 2 into excel and use excel 

 

if you want something within  Anaplan then you can do it in 2 ways

 

• create a third module to compare module 1 and module 2 line items ( not the best way)

another way is to use  inbuilt compare functionality however you will have to change few things 

• create a list and add 2 members base 1 and base 2 
• apply this to your module. You only need 1 module as you can have different values by base 1 and base 2
• use anaplan compare function and compare base 1 and base 2 using specific base 

 

i can think of other ways as well like using subsets  but will be great if you can list more information about your query . 

 

hope this helps

Thanks Karan. In addition to the data the original module has some inbuilt formula as well. Is there a way we can compare if the formulas are the same ? I will check the data with the excel solutions that you have advised.

If it is adhoc then you can compare formulas as well using excel just extract modules in blue print mode
