It won't accept the formulas for Revenue and COS. Not sure what's wrong.
Option to set default label height on Boards of NUX
We have to manually change the label height for each and every card on the Boards of NUX from the default of 3 lines. This consumes a lot time and effort. An option to be able to set a default label height would be so useful.
Option to change card type
Option to select a card and change the type of the card would be a nice to have feature. For example, selecting a grid card and changing it to a chart. Presently we have to delete the previous card and create a new one. Meaning reapply filters, reselect line items, re-pivot the dimensions, re-select the levels to show.
IRR function to operate on a specified time period ranges
Hello team I would propose an idea of IRR function enhancement to operate on more dynamic environment and respect Anaplan time dimension in the same way as TIMESUM function. Why it is necessary? For IRR calculation when the sign of the cash flows changes more than once, for example when positive cash flows are followed by…
Configuration & Release Management System
The Situation I currently help manage a set of models ranging from Dev, Test, & Production. Our Production model is live with close to 700 users. We release changes into production on a 2 week cadence but there are times where a fix must be pushed live immediately patching. Some new features may take longer to develop 2…

OEG Best Practice: Anaplan Performance Triangle
Building well performing models is a balance between the complexity and functionality of a model versus the number of concurrent users. If you have seen software development / project management triangles, where scope, time and cost control quality, this will be familiar. It is a good way to show the constraints of any…
Joint Deployment Blueprint
Hello, In Anaplan Way training (The Pre-release Phase) the Joint Deployment Blueprint document is referenced, but the link does not work. I also searched but could not find a result.

12.4.2 Create Saved View for Country Margin Report
Hi, I'm working on Lesson 12 in Level one. My issue is that the example data is slightly different from what I've been building so far. I'm not sure if it's the format or formula from the other modules. Please send suggestions
Is Summary Behavior
When a line item is included in a sum the Is Summary automatically enabled. This can be disabled manually in blueprint mode. When adding additional line items to that sum, the Is Summary automatically re-enabled. This default behavior has some undesirable impacts for exports where summary items are omitted. A quality of…

Better Formula Editor for Anaplan; A Chrome/Firefox/Edge Extension
Hello all! A while back I made a Google Chrome and Firefox extension that enhances Anaplan formula editing by using the Monaco editor (currently 700 users). This is the editor used by Anaplan's new modelling experience. My extension works with this new experience adding enhancements over and above what Anaplan have done.…
Schedule vs. Snapshot of Line Items
I have a schedule with two line items below showing exactly how the parenthesis should be. When the snapshot is taken, the parenthesis shows differently (second screenshot). Does anyone have an idea of why there would be a difference in the line items after the snapshot has been taken?
Гигиена моделей - время уборки
Всем привет! Мы восстанавливаем активность в группе, ведь весна - время обновления. И ваши модели не исключение! Есть много причин провести гигиену и оптимизацию моделей, особенно если им несколько лет. Если вы решились на «генеральную уборку», вот на что стоит обратить внимание: Старые костыли и «брошенный» функционал…
Multiple Model Builders
Hello, We are at a point with some of our models where we would like to train up new model builders to take over the ongoing maintenance and tweaks to a given model. We are debating the wisdom and practicality of allowing multiple users to have model builder access to a single model. Currently I can argue both sides of the…
Line Item Subset: include non-numbered members, boolean only for dynamic filtering
Using line item subsets to filter line items in and out of a view is very helpful in giving users the ability to change their view in a single click; however developers are limited to Number-formatted line items. Giving the ability to add non-numerical items to a LISS and limiting the format of a line item dimensionalized…
New UX for modeling: Formula broken down into lines & color coded
In the new modeling UX, it would be great if the formula is broken down into lines and indented when different parts of the formulas are in use (especially for multiple IF statements). Right now, even though the colors change per formula, it's hard to find where the breaks are. Additionally, right now every IF statement…
11.3.2 Activity: Import Data into P&L Actual and Budget
In 11.3.2 Activity: Import Data into P&L Actual and Budget I cannot import any data to the Budget version as it seems like only Forecast and Actuals version exist in the new model I have created. However I cannot tell why the budget version is not there? My systems module for version looks like this: And versions is set to…

Option to sync Dimension Order across all modules with the click of a button
If we had a button in the Modules pane to sync all dimension orders, we won't have to manually (for each module) click on the applies to section and close

Enable an option to enter the functional area in the New Module creation screen
As soon as we create a new module, the module opens up. We have to immediately go back to the Modules section to set the functional area for the module. If this option was also present on the New Module creation screen, we won't have to go back to set the functional area.

When adding a new module, enable option to position it [Below, Above, First, Last]
This functionality is already present for line items and is very helpful. If this is also made available for modules, we will be able to insert a module at the end of the module list
Optimizer Inventory Rollover Exercise
Inventory Rollover setup is required to avoid circular references when using previous function and will allow for rollover within dynamic time construct that the Optimizer requires. Review and complete the Dynamic Time portion of the exercise prior to starting Inventory Rollover.
Allow multi-selection option for the dimensions appearing on pages
When dimensions are appearing on pages, we can only select one single value from each dimension. This is a major limitation. Having the option to select multiple items from whatever is on pages will help a lot.
Visibility of whether a line item is referred by an action
In the blue print view we can only see if a line item is referred by formulas. If we similarly had the visibility of whether a line item is referred by actions, it would be very helpful.
Automatically sum line items of a module
Is there a way to sum all the line items in a module? Let's say I have 20 line items in a module at the moment and I want to sum it all up in the 21st line item. (1) Is selecting 20 line items one by one to get the total the only way? (2) Is there a way to ensure that if a new line item is added somewhere between 1st and…
