Hi,
I am trying to filter on Forcast periods and I cant seem to get it to work.
@ciara
I don't see any filter applied on the view. Can you click on the "+" icon in the Filter Snapshot and Pick the source line item which is supposed to filter your module
Hi @ciara
To only show data in a specific time period you do need to use the Filter—> Time dialogue box like you provided in your 2nd screenshot. I’m not sure if you were trying to use the pivot dialogue for filter or you were just providing the full picture but the pivot dialogue won’t help in this situation.
Having said that, let’s think together ...
Q. How can we filter for forecast period only?A.We have to tell the filter to show only forecast periods of course.Q. Where are we defining forecast periods in the model?
A. That would be in one of the System module regarding time.
This is a case of filtering data in a module based on a rule in a different module.
1. identify the time system module that has the forecast periods defined.
2. Go back to the original module -in need of filtering - click on the little + sign in the time tab if the Filter dialogue
3. Select the module and line item from the time system module
4. create the filter condition
if you have a problem in any of these steps or you are not familiar with the filter dialogue let me know and I can walk you through it.
hi @ciara
In case you need to filter time periods in a module, you need to add a filter on time, so in the Time tab of filters, you can see a plus item and add a time filter , ideally this filter for forecast periods should be in a separate system module, where you can create a boolean for which periods should be fcst periods and then use that as filter
Hope it helps
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…
