Excel Add-In: Flattened Data with Rows Labeles
Hello! I'm using the excel add-in and, unlike when I export from the model, I am unable to flatten my data and retain all the row labels (A below).

File/Data Encryption During Export using Informatica
Need guidance around how to encrypt data for an Anaplan export using IICS (Informatica). As soon as there is an data export and before it hits target (FTP location or Cloud service), data in transit has to be in encrypted status. So I guess, the question is - how do I encrypt the data as soon as export action runs. I was…

App Dashboard Exports
Hi Anaplan Community, I am wondering if there is a way to do a mass export of multiple exports and combine them all into one excel file with multiple sheets.

Mass export of asset URL's
I have uploaded 200 images to the Assets section, and as the url does not use the image name, I would like to export all 200 URL's and then create a lookup in a list. I can export 1 URL at a time, but 200 may take a while. Would it be possible to allow users / builders to export all the URL's of our assets in one hit?
Filters in List Grid View
Same as in modules, there should be an option to add filters in Lists grid view. This will help to filter list data view based on properties or subsets. Currently, we have to export list data in excel to do any data analysis based on properties and subsets.
Avoid creating empty export files
I have an export action triggered by Anaplan connect (export of POs) So a file is created and placed in a folder, the ERP system then read from this file and creates POs in the ERP system. This action runnes quite often and often the exported file is empty (only headers) so there is actually nothing to export. I would then…

NUX Forms: Exception handling when duplicate code entered
When using forms to add to a list (where the code can be entered), users can accidently re-enter an existing code which triggers a model roll back, as it's considered a duplicate. There's also no notification the model is rolling back so it looks like the app is spinning its wheels. This leads to confusion and potentially…

Is there a way to export a module into excel with each line item on a different tab?
I have a module dimensioned by time and a store list, with cost lines as line items. I'd like to export into excel with each line item as a separate tab. We don't have widespread use of the excel add-in so I'd prefer a way without needing to use that if possible.

Automatically generate Keys for Importing fact data into Data Hub module
Importing fact data into "flat modules" in a Data Hub is challenging when your data source is unable to provide a single unique Key to act as a List Item.
