Great article. I know you're also very familiar with the data integration side of Anaplan too. Any data integration cleanup suggestions?

It shows a tick in the LINK…
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…
