Hi,
I am looking for a functionality to setup time ranges with 3 or four months, is it possible?
Suman.
Hi @Suman Reddy
No, you cannot have a time range with just 3 or 4 months, the smallest unit in Model Calendar/ Time Range is 1 year.
What's the business case that requires ONLY 3 or 4 months?
Why can't you have 12 months, and then use 3 or 4 months?
Thanks,

Thank you @LipChean_Soh for the Reply, See below business requirement.
I have created supplier bid module, which will be used by various suppliers. This bid process will happen only for 2 months in a year and I have take back of daily modification by individual suppliers during this 2 months time. If i give full year range it is increasing module size with various other dimensions in it. That is why i am just looking for 3 months time range so that i can save the memory.
I understand, but unfortunately we can't define a Time Range than's shorter than a year.
I'm not keen to suggest using a Fake Day list without knowing more about the business requirement, i.e. formulas, mockups, problems faced, etc. You should close this topic, and create a different topic if you need some suggestions from the forum.
But you should know that while a Fake Day list can help save workspace, some of the most powerful Time related functions in Anaplan are not applicable.
@Suman Reddy have you thought about having a 3 or 4 year time range and align each "year" to a month. This from @DavidSmith might prove a helpful read through.

Then you get all the benefit of time periods functionality (and not needing to use fake time) whilst minimising the model size
Thank you @andrewtye.
I have not seen this earlier, I will check this one.

It's now possible to use the additional insights to have dynamic filters, however the columns in the table are fixed widths. It's quite unfortunate that the ability is added, but the layout isn't dynamic. I understand that a report is more fixed, but adding dynamic columns would really help make the management report…
There was an error rendering this rich post.
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
