Dear Anaplan Product Team, I would like to suggest an enhancement regarding the consolidation process when a model requires "double consolidation" (e.g., consolidating by the standard 'Entity' dimension alongside a custom dimension, such as 'Business Unit'). Currently, we face a structural limitation regarding how the…

Has anyone found success using Anaplan XL with Polaris models in a shared drive with or without concurrent users? My team has experienced a variety of errors, login failures, etc. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We've been recommended to save and edit files locally, which helps but certainly with its limitations…

Good morning everyone. I need to build a module export with some specific requirements: users can select a currency type (USD/Local), Salary Type (1 or 2), Nomina Type (1 or 2), and Version (Forecast, TS, Plan). Currently, each of these filters is driven by an independent system module published in the NUX, each…

Hello, Would anyone be able to advise why (in very simple terms) when we add CC7 (a mapping list) to the applies to of the value row, we get the error "Mismatch on common dimensions". The LIS used by this module picks up line items from FS1-Regional which in its-self has CC7 as an applies to dimension. Kind Regards,

Hello, Since Anaplan is missing a MCP server to interact with an agent, I would like to know if there are official APIs available for model creation and modification, or for Model import where the Model definition, as lists, modules, line items, formulas, etc can be adjust all together at once (different from Model sync).…

I wanted to experiment with how far I could take Anaplan beyond traditional planning use cases, so I built a fully functional Wordle-style game in Anaplan 🎯 The game currently has 2,000 different games, with each game having its own word. The Context Selector determines which game you're playing. Some of the Anaplan…

If you’ve built complex Anaplan models, you’ve probably written formulas like this: IF A THEN IF B THEN IF C THEN Value1 ELSE Value2 ELSE Value3 ELSE Value4 It works. But it’s slow. It’s hard to debug. And six months later… even you won’t understand it. Let’s talk about why nested IFs hurt performance and how Line Item…

Hi all, Has anyone found a way of exporting User Access from a saved view rather than directly from the Users tab?

Would be nice to have a notification about timeout due to long inactivity in both NUX and Classic. Good addition will be to have a button to be able to reset the timeout countdown. This way end users and model builders will be able to save there progress and won't have to re-open every tab/page they had on their screen.

Quick Collapse of expanded grid rows will help improve usability of this new feature.

I have two actions one that pulls a list, using code, from model A to model B and then a second that pulls data associated with that list. The first one works perfectly - every item with it's associated parent is there but on the 2nd action some of the data points don't get pulled across. I've cleared the list a couple of…

Hi all, I am importing a flat file into ADO. However the flat file does not have a unique identifier. I would like to use the row count as the "ID" Is there a way to create this ADO? Basically how would I do row_number() in SQL?

Hi everyone. Has anyone built a model designed to capture enhancement requests from end users with a view for CoE to assess, triage & prioritise. Looking to provide end users with a UX page to submit enhancement requests and for CoE team to be able to track.

I would like the ability to set certain rows or columns on UX pages as "frozen" by default. As of 2023 end users can select certain columns or rows to freeze, but it would be a major improvement to be able to have those frozen panes apply to all users.
