Hi,everyone.
Can I set a default value for a list?
I have a list of calendars.
For example, if the current date is February 1, 2020,
I would like to display February 2020 in advance.
Best regards.
Taku.
Hi @taku.s,
I am proposing 2 suggestion for your question.
Step 1. Displaying only current month
Lets say out current period as "Mar 20"
Step 2: I am retrieving current date (If you want to write a formula you can or you can select the date)
Step 3 : i am writing logic to filter current month, current and past month and current and future month
Step 4 : You can apply this filter to your main module.
Thanks,

Yes, it is possible to set a default time period based on another value.
If you have not already created a series of time property modules this would be the best time to do so.
We can use a a boolean formatted filter to set our default.
The first time property module required covers the current time periods.
Create a new module but do not add any dimensions, remove time and only include the following line items.
Name of Module - Current Time Properties
1. Name - Current Period, Format - Time Period Months, Formula - PERIOD(CURRENTPERIODEND())
Create a second module but this time keep time as a dimension ( formatted to months ) and add the following line items.
Name of Module - Month Time Properties
1. Name - Current Period Filter, Format - Boolean, Formula - Current Time Properties.Current Period
The second module can now be used to filter any view in which you wish to only show the current period. Filters and be used to filter both page selectors and girds.
Property modules can be invaluable when you need to filter and/or map across multiple dimensions be it time, lists or versions.
Good luck,
Chris
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. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
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…
