Comments within formula

Sukh_Sandhu · January 2019

There should be a syntax to add comments within the formula. All programming languages provide this feature, for example: /* comment */ is used in Java, plsql. This will help to temporary remove any part of the formula for testing or add meaningful comments for reference.

Agreed!

Agreed!

JoeAnderson · December 2019

Yes! This would be very helpful, especially for complex formulas.

This would be actually major improvements to model building (next to a syntax highlighter like A+).

Hello Anaplan ?

Any news with comments added to formula syntax?

Great idea @Sukh
Please also consider upvoting mine which is to Highlight in the module or Drill down any Line Items referenced in the formula. i.e. click on the line item, the line item in the module is highlighted…..

Highlight cells, line items, modules Referenced by a Formula

Reviewing and debugging formulas can be difficult and time consuming. This exersize could be made much easier and quicker by highlighting all the line items, cells, modules etc. referenced in a formula. (i.e. similar to when one clicks inside the formula editor within MS Excel, all referenced cells are highlighted with different colour borders and shading)
This will save so much time and concentration brain power when reviewing modules build by others.

I have created a mock-up example of this suggestion in the attached file. In this example line item ATS Total Crusher Feed Utilised (wmt) - Calc for Jun 23 is selected and the edit button of the formula is activated.

Agreed, this would be a very helpful improvement!

Hi Anaplan, any news on this? Desperately need this

Henrikc · August 2024

I am relatively new to Anaplan but have been coding for a long time. The ability to comment code is crucial for complicated models.

This needs to be added.

Periodic reminder that this is not forgotten :)
