Can First Non Blank formula be used for numbers as mentioned.
When i try to, i get an error as follows,
Let me know if you are able to successfuly use this formula for numbers.
Thanks

No way, as far as I know we can not use FNB on number formatted line items. It has to be removed from Anapedia as It will create confusion to many. Thanks for pointing this out.

Just a thought, did you try to change the summary status to None?
@rob_marshall
Yes! and as expected It doesn't work.
@Misbah
Yep, just tested it out and you are correct, it does not work
I tried with all summary options, it dint work.
Correct
@thanasis
Yes, you can.
Would a workaround to this issue be converting the number to text? Then using FIRSTNONBLANK against the text and then converting it back to number?
I have a use case where I have 3 modules.
I have 1 module that is:
2 flat lists x line items (Amount- number). (Acquirer and Product flat are the lists). I have another module that is:
L4 Acquirer (which rolls up to L1 Product) x line items (Amount- number)
Lastly I have a System module that is:
L4 x line items (Acquirer & Product flat properties)
If I want to allocate the amount found at intersections in the module with 2 flat lists and apply it to only 1 row of the hierarchy, would firstnonblank against the properties get me there?
Right now the formula is Amount module.amount[LOOKUP: SYSModule.Product, SYSModule.Acquirer].
Problem is the amount is being applied to all members that return the same Product and Acquirer, I only want it to apply to 1.
I.e. if I want to apply $1M to Product A, Acquirer A, instead of showing as $1M in the L4 module, I am seeing $12M because there are 12 members in the hierarchy with Product A and Acquirer A.
Look forward to hearing suggestions. Also ideally this solution would be quick (even if not truly best practice) would prefer a hot fix rather than a full architectural redesign as I have explored that route but we don’t have much time with the client as I am a bit tight on project deadline.
Does anyone have any documentation on the trade-offs of having 1 model for all components of planning (service revenue, product revenue, labour planning), vs multiple models 1 for each and a consolidation model to tie it all together?
I am still now to the calculation of Anaplan XL, i would like to get the proportion in terms of value between child vs parent (within the hierarchy) For instance, i want to get the % of each 08S( child) vs the parent value (BL TS), i would like IN general a formula that give the proportion of child vs parent dynamically,…
Just like the main question above, I wanted to try out the new feature on the board where you can you the insights panel to put additional cards. However, I wanted to synchronize scroll a card on the main board with the card on the insights panel but I can't find where it might be.
