Use "Previous" with non-timescale dimension
Hi all, I understand Previous() can't be used with a non-time dimension. I have a custom dimension with a natural concept of a previous item. (it's actually a 13 period calendar that is not based on weeks, therefore I think precluding the use of a native time dimension). I understand why it's comlaining; OpeningBalance…

UX Idea: Conditional Formatting Pre-saved Templates

YTD time summary excluding current month
Hello community! Is there a way or a workaround for the YTD time summary to exclude the current month?

Version selection in modules
Hi All, I notice when I set up a time range that I am able to select either no time dimension, or model calendar, or the time range created by me. However for Version dimension, only notice 2 options in drop down All or none. Would it not be good to be able to choose the specific versions to which a certain module apply?

Filter data on criteria that can change month to month
I'm fairly new to Anaplan and I'm sure if I'm approaching this issue correctly so I thought I'd ask here. We have sales rep data that shows what "compensation group" they belong to for a specific month, along with what they sold and earned in that month. I'm trying to create a FYTD report on this that shows each…

Tree View Available even if we have large lists
Hi, Tree View have to be available even if the list is large. Anaplan could show it on different pages. It's a big limitation to the client if they can't see the tree view list.
Tree View List Limit
Is there a particular reason why I lose the ability to view a list in tree when I exceed a certain number of list items? Does anyone know what the limit is on the number of items I can add to a list before I lose the ability to see it in tree view. Thanks, Mark
