Quarter to Date Ability

Anaplan has a great Year to Date summary in the Time settings, is there an easy way to show quarter to date (QTD)?

Accepted answers

There isn't a method as easy as the YTD approach. There are various ways in which this can be modelled, for instance try...

Set up a line item with no applicable lists except time
Call the line item something like 'Quarter Start Month' and make it a boolean
Tick the boolean for the first month of each quarter (we could calc this but not essential)
For any line item where you want a QTD view, create a second line item. So for 'Sales', have 'Sales QTD'
Give the new line item a calc along the lines of.... IF 'Quarter Start Month' THEN Sales ELSE 'Sales QTD' + Sales
If you wanted to do this for a whole module of line items then a line item subset might be the way to go.

I have some vague recollection I saw this available at one point with my own eyes, but everywhere I look on Community I find old posts that refer to the feature not existing. However, I do…
