Modeling

The idea is very simple. The columns' width in Actions tabs are very narrow this always requires to Copy and paste to excel every time i want to check something in it. Would be great if we could adjust or simply have the default width much wider. @GeorgeDuckettMaybe your wonderful tool could have it in future release?

My Idea: For the backward compatibility, add a check box in "Delete from List using Selection" action. When it's TRUE (default is FALSE) - running the action will delete all elements (leaf and parents) which have TRUE in the selection line item. This won't affect already excisting processes, but will allow to have one…

As a model builder i want to be able to search quickly through the entities of my model. Frequently I have to examine formulas which most of the time have references from the other line items and modules which have special symbols in naming (i.e. a dot (.) in module named '8.15 Transport tariffs options (Month)') So if I…

Idea: As a page builder I'd like to be able to choose there to locate the arrow next to the page link or even disable it. Usage: Talking about linear workflow it's not always that you (as a user) want to go downstream of the workflow. And looking at some cards can be confusing especially to the ones who are new to the…

As a model builder I want to be able to open modules which are referenced by selected module as a blueprint action. This is how I think it could look like: Also I want to be able to open list elements used as dimensions oth the module. (we could not have it in classic US as we could not open multiple lists but now we can!)…

As a model builder I have to search through "the list of the lists" to select necessary dimension in Applies to or a list for line item format. Most of the lists are ordered the same way as we put them in General lists and Line item subsets tabs using "Reorder..." button. But apart from that we have Subset which can be…

New variance feature is a long awaited one. And finally we have it! But this feature is almost a hardcode and it does not allow an end user to select which of the two columns to be compared. Before placing this idea I have open a topic in UX Designers forum to collect thoughts of the community about it: MR: User to select…

Customers very often request reports in which to show together properties and Time dimension as columns, similar to what they are used to see in an Excel: As of today, this is quite difficult to build in Anaplan. The most common solutions to deliver this requirement are: * OPTION A: Nest Time with line items on the columns…

Hey builders, I'm trying to match a mockup, but having trouble building it in Anaplan. User Story: I need to rank all projects by their total cost (highest to lowest) while showing the breakdown of Project Total Cost by each Cost Pool (if there is a value in a cost pool). Rows: Projects and Cost Pool Columns: Cost My…

Hi Anaplan community, Whilst updating line items: Bonus, Car Costs, Phone Costs, Medical Costs I’m getting 2 types of error message: First error message: Data type mismatch: format other than LIST or DATE being referenced as a relation. I've spent close to 4 hours browsing Anaplan community, hoever I still haven't managed…

I have mapped everything right , but the medical cost for December 2020 is showing 36,800 and that is not the right answer. Can anyone please help me with , where I am making the mistake .

Good morning, I am doing this activity by pivoting my module. With P3 SKU and account set up as default ( Nutzo bar EN and Candyate), i can flag or unflag the "override?" check box. Then I want to set up as the activity asks me but the checkbox of override? disappears, and cannot set up final forecast at 71 Is there any…

@VickiA posted all the New Modeling UX features in this post. Just wanted to show you where the "Model Search" magnifying glass is located. Took me a while to find it. It's terrific! Already used it to clean up one of my models - used it to search for line items used for filters that I want to change, particularly the time…

It would save a lot of time and space to have percentile formulas in Anaplan. Percentiles are very valuable to eliminate extreme values from data sets and improve the accuracy of our forecasting models. Having a percentile formula would address the need for a median formula at the same time. Further below are a few…

Hi all, I am beginning my journey as a model builder in a company where one of the first task is to try to optimize the current Anaplan Models, I've followed the instructions given here to try to reduce the cell count in a specific module: Context: * Formula repeated several times in different line items and modules. And…

The Anaplan Performance Triangle details the relationship between the number of users and the level of complexity in an Anaplan model to the performance of an Anaplan model, as explained by Mark Warren, Operational Excellence Group Platform Specialist in this article.

What? A model analysis technique using metadata from your Anaplan model imported in to Excel, utilizing purpose-built formulas to identify line items of interest Why? We do this so that we have some extra information with which to arm ourselves when trying to optimize a model. It lets us look at every line item, apply the…

Hi everyone, I have this concern of my current model, since the user will be the one to add/upload the data. I need a friendly dashboard for them to upload the file to a Data Module. But what will happen if there are new data even amongst the lists inside of that uploaded file? So I made this small test, where I create 2…

One of the most powerful "recent" functions I've used in Excel is IFS(), where a single statement can replace multiple levels of IF THEN ELSE statements. From Microsoft's description: Generally, the syntax for the IFS function is: =IFS(Something is True1, Value if True1,Something is True2,Value if True2,Something is…

Not sure why this is happening?

Hi, I want to get min Date. I set Min as Summary. If any source item is blank, Summary shows blank. Is there any way to get min Date?

Hi everyone, I was having trouble when I start learning working on a module with switchover. I set the switchover on and set the month. It started okay, until I want to get the data from the beginning until the end of the period. I used CURRENTPERIODEND() function. But when I check out the output it turns out empty. I…

Hi In source module I am having Hierarchy list with 6 levels(L1,L2,L3,L4,L5,A) where A is lower level of hierarchy which is having some count line item. In target module I am having L5 as dimension with litem as Total Count. Scenario 1: Now we are moving A1, A2 from it's L5-1 to L5-2, where L4-1 is parent of L5-1 and L4-2…

Can someone advise me how to compare two lists, one of it being number list ?

Hi Everyone, I want to create a boolean line item in a module dimensioned by a list, which can only be true for one list item only at a time. Let's say, the list has 10 members and initially that boolean is false for every list item. User checks the boolean for list item 2 and then User checks the boolean for list item 5…
