I have this problem: I'm creating an AXL report, which will be distributed across members of a department. I need to know if is possible to block the writeback functionality for all members except the owner of the file to avoid accidental updates of data in Anaplan's modules. Thanks!

The Anaplan XL Reporting formula reference page has not been updated since April 2026. It's missing any reference to the new XL3LookupAsync formula. Can we please have this page updated with all the latest features from XL?

Dear all, Some times your system refuses us to log in. It seems it is because the password is no longer valid and has to be renewed. However absolutely no information is given to the user. Therefore he/she tries to connect again and again, until he/she thinks "oh, that should be the password that has expired". This is…

I've come across this need more than once now so I figured I'd post it here for the Anaplan product team! We have a client who utilizes a primary hierarchy for a core list but developed the need to see the lowest level in that primary hierarchy rolling up to an alternate hierarchy of parent list members. In their Polaris…

Hello there, I just had the most unenjoyable experience in speaking with someone from the Academy tech support. Level 2, Dynamic Cell Access 2.4.5 has a model to download. Seems simple enough. However, what they fail to remind you in the training video or anywhere on the screen, is that if you don't have the Page Builder…

Please take note of the following changes in our latest 2608 release: Multi-dimensional calculations now require valid rules. As of 2608, the multi-dimensional calculation process no longer runs when invalid rules are present - for example, a rule referencing an invalid member (one that no longer exists in the dimension).…

Does anyone have advice on building a formula that properly calculates longevity for employees that includes an escalator based on their job effective date? I have everything built in the model but I cannot figure out how to get it to include the increases. Assuming someone is paid 20 dollars per month for every 2 years…

Problem: Co-modeler often suggests formulas that don't work - invalid syntax, or timeouts requiring manual copy/paste that still fails. This forces users to debug the suggestion and explain the model's structure back to the tool (often having to leverage another AI like Chat or Claude) instead of just applying a working…

Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.

Is there a way to add a conditional formation on bar charts? I need to show past months in one color and future months in another color. I have the logic created and it's working fine on a grid but cannot make it work on a bar chart. Thanks

This shows all comments across all data to all users with access to the UX page. This is not appropriate for any UX which might contain security access sensitive data. Comments on grids and cards ARE security dependent. That works fine. But anyone with access to the page can open this Summary Panel and see ALL comments…

When a line item is pivoted from rows or columns to the context selector on UX, it always shows all line items in the module in context selector, regardless of whether it is Classic or Polaris. This exposes all backend line items in the module.

Current Behavior Model Security controls which members users can access through queries and writeback. When an XL report is generated, Model Security is applied when the query retrieves members. However, if a Drill Indicator is used, the parent member is then expanded into its children based on the hierarchy without…

AXL Reporting has suppression options to suppress rows and columns but the problem is that these settings are AFTER query rendering. In example below there are only 15 rows of filled data but the query indicates a huge number of cells are needed. The enhancement needed here is to first check user suppression settings on…

Problem Statement Currently, Export Actions and Saved Views are not dynamically synchronized after an Export Action is created. This limitation creates additional maintenance effort for model builders and increases the risk of inconsistencies between export configurations and reporting requirements. Key Challenges 1. Saved…

In current standard grid modules and UX Grids you can't Collapse & Expand hierarchies of Lists/Line Items/Sublist like you can do in Excel (see below). Considering that sometimes hierarchies can be huge or you want to Collapse one part but Expand another - it would be good to have such functionality

Super excited about User Subsets. However, we will need the ability to import into the user subset to make it useful. Another potential workaround would be the ability to use roles to auto populate the subset.

In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: In the Excel add-in, refreshing is all-or-nothing: you can refresh a single sheet on its own, or refresh every sheet in the workbook.…
