how to get a value of last week in a quarter

please help.

we have scenario to get the value of a numbered field of last week in a quarter. For example we are in Q 1, we want the value of week 13 (which is last week in first quarter).

do we have any functions available to get the value?

Try using this instead of the +85

Hi anilp,

If you're using Anaplan time, set the Time Summary of the line item to closing balance
This way, the quarter value will always be the value of the last week in the quarter

Then in your destination line item, simply refer the quarter line item by using a quarter lookup

Let me know if you need more help

Thank you anirudh for reply.

Hello @anilp

What @anirudh was referring to is the following...

Change the summary method of the line item -for which you need to obtain the last value in the quarter- from the default SUM to Closing Balance. This way, the value of each Q will be the value of the last week in the quarter.

Now that you have the value you want in each Quarter, you can directly reference it and it will equal the value of the last week in the quarter.
Anaplan has native functions to reference Quarter values, but we don’t have a native function to reference Week x of the year.

assumption for that solution to work are:
1. You should be using Native Anaplan Time.

2. Module is dimensioned by weeks
