Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to load a file into a module with brand new list members and it's attributes?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan,
You can't create new members when loading into a module, however an alternate approach is to create an import action with the file loading into the list to create the members + an import action with the file loading into the module to store the data and then putting them in a process that you publish onto the dashboard?
Regards,

Great question.
@wquan is correct. I would just add that the module that you load the attributes into should be a system module, a module that only uses one dimension (using the list you are working with). In your planning module, you can lookup the attributes from the system module with a LOOKUP function. The benefit of doing this is that you only have the attributes calculated one time (in one cell) vs being copied X every other dimension.
Here's a link to learn more about the DISCO method (the "S" stands for system).

Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them.

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…
