Using NAME with Numbered list

HI,

I have a numbered list - 'employees' with the display name property set as Display Name.

I have a system module called employee details dimensioned by employees list. I have created a text formatted line item in the module with the following formula NAME(ITEM(employees)). I expect to see the display name of the line item but I see numeric ids instead.

Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

A numbered list replaces the name of the list item if the Anaplan generated #.

Instead simply reference the display name property and if the module is not dimensioned by the numbered list us the code in a LOOKUP to pull the display name through.

NAME on numbered list will always result in getting the #IDs. As @ChrisAHeathcote rightly mentioned, simply click and refer the display name of Numbered list property & get it in your SYS module.

You can directly reference the Display Name of the Product numbered list. If the numbered list for Product is "Product Flat" and the display name of "Product Flat" is text, then the formula would be

'Product Flat'.Display Name

,if the module is not dimensioned by the numbered list us the code in a LOOKUP to pull the display name through. —>'Product Flat'.Display Name[Lookup:Product]

as long as Product is list formatted. If it is not list formatted, you will need to have the Product code accessible (either in this list or preferably in a module). This is another reason why having codes is so important, especially when using numbered lists.
