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.
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I'm posting because two of my coworkers are trying to use the Anaplan Excel Add-In Series 4, but they're running into an issue during the connection setup process.

Why in my model output is blank, after send explainability data.
I am working on a use case where I need to display the top 5 lines of a module as individual lines, while grouping all remaining lines under an "Others" category. The module is dimensioned by multiple composite hierarchy lists, along with Time and Version. To achieve this, I need to use the RANK function with the Ranking…
