Versions in the new UX
So I'm creating a page in the new UX, essentially trying to display Actual and Budgeted amounts for a period. I'm intending to have the Actuals and Budgeted amounts shown as columns and the different categories as rows.

Unit Testing is for finding bugs, not show correctness
Architect, Builders; Having worked projects with hundreds of bugs, the natural question is how did this happen? The solution passes User Acceptance Testing means that it was adequately tested.

Processing when I wrote the formula incorrectly
Hello, I would like to clarify the information because I did not find it. I understand correctly that the number of actual working imports from one model to another affects the total processing time as a result of the formula writing curve.

Changing the Sign for Aggregation
Use Case: In a lot of financial account hierarchies, costs are shown as positive numbers—but need to be subtracted from the totals. With Anaplan, this is easily achievable with line items. The line item formulae are as follows: * Margin = Sales – COGS * Profit = Margin – Costs This is a very simple example that is easily…
Multi-layer sort
Would be very useful to have a multi-layer sort (not filter) like in Excel i.e. Sort by column A alphabetically, then by column B, then by C. Acknowledging the workaround to concatenate the desired fields into a text line item and sort by that, but to me a publicised workaround is always a pointer to a needed/desired…

Formula showing YTD actuals + Remaining Year Forecast
I'm looking to build a formula that would show the current YTD actual expenses, + the remaining year forecasted expenses to arrive to my FY total expenses.

Possibility to turn off sorting a grid, double-click the column header.
With the new Anaplan release users in UX can sort a grid using double-click the column header. That feature might appear to be a problem because users can double-click the column by mistake (especially if the columns are used for synchronization). We definetly need the ability to control this feature. It can be a selection…

As Model Builder, I want to have additional choice - TEXTLIST - when selecting summary for line items formatted as Text. When TEXTLIST is selected, summary should join/concatenate lower level data. Preferably, joining should be done using separator defined by user (as different appilcations may need comma, colon, dot,…

Count line items

Regex Formula
It would be very helpful to include a regex style formula in Anaplan so we can pre-process text fields ahead of an integration, or even help to cleanse messy inbound text. Currently if we want to remove special characters, or parse strings into cleaner formats we have to specify one by one the characters we wish to remove…
Using Users Dimensioned Line Item in a Formula With No Users Dimension
Hello, I have L1 and L2 lists, and recently I added a new flat list as A, and A is actually acting like parent of L1 that determines the groups L1 list members belong to. Since I do not want to mess the existing hierarchy and model functionalities, I prefered adding A as a flat list. In an L2 system module, I have an L2…
