Model Builder

Greetings, fellow Anaplanners. I’ve always wanted something that could take thousands of line items and help me work out where to start improving a model. So I built it. It’s called Anaplan Estate. Give it your Line Items and Actions exports, and it brings optimisation findings into an action plan, with evidence and…

Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…

Hello, One of my models is generating this issue: "PLANNED Position # has selective access enabled and you may not have been granted access to any items." When I try to adjust the selective access, it then says "no items to select". I'm unsure what caused this issue and how to correct it. Any help sincerely appreciated.…

We have discovered that Line Item Subsets cause unexpected behaviour in Polaris: their mere existence adds significantly to model size and calculation demand. This overhead is undocumented (it appears in neither Anapedia nor the Planual) and is not visible to the model builder during building. The only way to detect it is…

Hello everyone, Has anyone (from talent builder program) been able to be granted page builder role and download the formulas and functions app ? Cannot and I would love too. Thanks a lot

What's the #1 bottleneck in your Anaplan build cycle right now? A. Model documentation B. Onboarding new builders C. Optimizing slow formulas Curious which one takes the most time for your team and how you're currently addressing it.

Hi, I'm using the OFFSET formula, where a calculated and number-formatted field determines how many previous weeks the formula should look back. Based on this value, it retrieves the corresponding week's data into the output line item. The formula works correctly for some products; however, it fails for others. The issue…

Hi everyone, Has anyone run into this issue before? I am trying to import data into a Marketing model list using a saved view (Update B3 Product Dist in Mktg) from a source model (FinancialPlanning_Dev_Polaris). However, when I try to set up the import action, I get the following error: Select SourceFailed to retrieve…

Hi all, I'm working through exercise 11.3.4 in the L1 Model Building course and running into an issue with the Forecast vs. Actual logic. I've set up the Forecast line item with a formula referencing the Current Period (using CURRENTPERIODSTART/time settings as instructed), so that it should pull Actuals up to the current…

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…

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…

How can we create an import action for production lists where we can import data and mark it as a subset while importing so that only selected list items get added as production data, and we dont have to mark each item seperately, so that we're able to use these list subsets as dimensions instead of the whole list in…

The Bulk copy at my org has failed for some reason, The bulk copy was run from the versions tab, and a specific list was used (which is production data ticked). What sort of trouble shooting can one do for this issue? I cant run the bulk copy from the actions tab as it wont show the list (being production data ticked). And…

I need to men tion that I need to use ADO and not…

Hi Anaplan Team, Model builders could work more quickly and efficiently if we could display the list of filters and import actions. When we attempt to delete a line item, Anaplan shows the referenced line items, but it does not indicate which line items that specific line item is using in filters and import actions.

When i setup my Workflow with "Allow next occurence to run if previous is not complete" then it comes to errors from time to time without a reason, and it continues as it shoult. BUT why do i have to confirm that? These "Action required" annoys me. And then i have to find in somewhere a hidden menu to agree that there was…

Hi, is there in Anaplan the possibility to retrieve current time (date and time)? I know that now this is possibile only via integrations, but I will need to know if there is a native function.

When deleting items from a list via the UX, there is no indication of how many items are being removed. The model backend provides this count during deletion, but the same visibility is absent in the UX experience. It would be helpful to surface this count to users when performing deletions through the front end.
