Can anyone help me what's the best way to identify - Current Year Current Quarter, Current Year Previous Quarter, Previous Year Current Quarter using DCA and Boolean.
@SudhirY
You can do this in two modules, one for Quarter and one for Year.
First, make sure you Current Period is set in the Time Settings
The module for Quarter should be only dimensionalized by Time (a SYS Time - Quarter module) at the Quarter level. Create these three line items:
Do the same thing for Current Year
Now, you can create a module to use your DCA basing it off these values.

Yes, I do see issues with what you did. because you are nesting the NEXT function and making Hyperblock work harder for every calculation. Instead, I would break it up and do this
Create two line items:
Previous Year/Previous Quarter mbr:'Current Period' - 5 (formatted as Quarter)Previous Year/Previous Quarter?: item(time)='Previous Year/Previous Quarter mbr' (formatted as Boolean)
Thanks @rob_marshall , awesome it worked 🎯!
Hi Rob @rob_marshall
Extended your thought and came up with the following for previous year current quarter - do you see any issues with the multiple nesting of NEXT Function?
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…
