Is there a way to generate random numbers from a defined range of numbers so that the numbers being changed regularly in a module every time we refresh the model or just run an action?
In case you were still interested in this, I was looking into standard random number generation methods ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation#Computational_methods ) and realized the most common type could be built in Anaplan quite easily - it requires a "seed" value and the time dimension, but was not hard at all to build! I wrote a brief explanation here:
I guess you have to activate the community to promote this idea: RANDOM() function - Anaplan Community
Every time you "refresh" or "run" the model/action, simply invoke a random number generator function with your specified range.
The key is executing that code or function at each refresh or trigger to get a new, randomly selected number from your defined range.
A while back, I shared a pattern for extracting and reporting on Anaplan audit data using a Python project hosted on GitHub. I wrote that during my time on the Operational Excellence Group (OEG) at Anaplan. The Python solution still works, and plenty of teams are running it today. The problem it solves hasn't changed:…
