Community perspective: Building two approaches to ragged hierarchy
In Two approaches to ragged hierarchy, I presented two ways to fix a ragged hierarchy into a balanced one. Now let's proceed with building based on these two approaches. 👀 Blueprints are included for your reference. Building Hierarchy - Loop20230207.xlsx 1.

How to fill a line item recursively
Hi! I have one module where one of the line items is my inventory amount and on the columns I have a list where I put diferent fiscal years (note that I cannot use the formula PREVIOUS() because this module is not connected with Time, and I can't connect it either). So my list is composed by: FY22, FY23, FY24, FY25, FY26,…
Auto-Hide line item based on selected list member
Hi, Is there a way I can hide line item based on the selected list member? I tried to use line item subset but no luck since I have a date format and boolean in my line item. See attached picture. GLA, % of Sales and Sales Quota should be hidden when i select a different list member. Thanks, Tom

Import filter by user
Hello, We are updating a spoke model from our data hub daily, and I need to enable end users to individually update the spoke model for their specific list member (property) only. Currently, imports from the data hub are running daily into staging modules. Now I need a way to allow different users to run a process to…
The Planual Rises
It’s time. For the last 18 months, we have been working hard to fully understand how the Anaplan engine works, what the associated best practices should be, and how they should be put together in a digestible format. It’s 4:11 p.m. I am in a very hot Pier 29 building in San Francisco, standing in front of an expectant…
Add the current user to a field when they approve an item
I have an approval process with several gates, i have restricted to ability to approve, but all i want to do is when the approve button is pressed is apply the current user details to the Approver and add Todays date. The date part is done, as I already have the date automatically updating in all models. How can i get the…
Version subsets and selection as a format
It would be great if you could select Versions as a format of a line item. This would make it much easier to pull data from a specific version into a module without versions, for example using a lookup within a line item. It would also be great if we could create subsets of versions in models where there are many versions,

Bring line item value from parent to child, distributed equally, from one module to another.
Hello, I have a list hierarchy that looks something like this: * Department A (Parent)* Office 1 (Child) * Office 2 * Office 3 * Department B* Office 4 * Office 5 * Department C* Office 6 I have now created two modules, one where Department list is a dimension (Module Department) and one where Office list is a dimension…
How do I find or trim an inconsistent string of characters in a line item?
I am currently importing data with a concatenation of 3 General Ledger identifiers and a customer code. A sample would look like LE10000.LMF10000.1000000 for the first GL indentifiers. Everything is consistent and All LEs are 7 digits, all LMFs are 8 digites and all account codes are 8 digits. I have customer codes that…
Data hub - What Data should reside in Data hub
Hi Team, New to Anaplan Modeling. Based on the training, its my understanding that data hub is important to act as source of truth for data that is shared between multiple spoke model. I see data hub as a repository for list, hierarchies and data modules that are shared in more than one spoke models. My question is what…
Model impersistence across pages in the application
Our case: We are separating clients data into different models and manage access via those models administration We have a single application that points to those models and allows users who have access to switch between them (assuming that they would switch between clients data sets) When user switches pages of the…
Increase the Cell count limit on line item blocks for Anaplan
As a model builder, I would like to see Anaplan increase the upper limit of cell count on a single line item block (currently it is set as 2,147,483,647 = 2^31-1 cells), so that I don't have to model certain filtering modules/logics outside Anaplan. I know this is successful when the limit is increased to 4,294,967,295 =…

List item has nothing showing in 'Referenced in Formula', but it is referenced?
I have a list that shows no references, and i was removing ‘dead’ lists however, when i tried to delete it i got an error saying it was used in a module. And after looking i found it was indeed used So why does the reference not appear in the list information?
Ability to record timestamp of input as a separate line item
It would be extremely helpful from an end-user and a workflow perspective to have the ability to capture the timestamp of a manual input as a separate line item, instead of having to look through model/cell history manually. That way you could easily see when the latest input was entered.
