Modeling

MX SUGGESTION: Give the MB a ‘x’ option during this import to List step.
It can be finicky clearing any fields you don’t want filled. Would be nice if there was an ‘x’, perhaps to the far left of the field selector?
SUGGESTION: Improvements to Delete from list using selection
When defining Delete from list using selection… can we consider adding:* The ability to use Tab to move from the Action Name field to the Delete Items from: field * Same request for moving to Selected using: * Allow the MB to type any portion of the Line Item in the Selected using: field instead of a need to type…
MX REQUEST: better handling when opening a Module from the Line Items view
Allow the Open button in the Line Items view of Modules to open the module that holds the currently selected Line Item. Right now the MB must scroll up to find the title for the module and then click Open . As some modules have many line items this can be frustrating. Example: In order to open the Module that holds this…
REQUEST: allow this search result field to show more text in the results
Maybe just move the ‘Object Type’ column to the far right? Or put it before the ‘Name’ column as we know the max width the ‘Object Type’ column could show. The names of the modules are getting cut off. I know we can't have an infinite amount. But there's some white space that we could use.
SUGGESTION: Ability close all tabs to the left/right of the selected tab
Allow the Model Builder to close all tabs to the left/right of the selected tab via right click menu. It would be part of the existing ‘Close’ options.
MX SUGGESTION: better tab position control
Allow the Model Builder to move a tab to the front/end of the list of open tabs via right click menu. It would be options beyond the ‘Close’ options.
REQUEST: Ability to add/remove dimensions from the ‘Pivot’ modal while in Model view.
Give the MB the ability to add/remove dimensions from the ‘Pivot’ modal while in Model view. It seems like such an organic place to be able to do it. Similar to initial Model setup. Could also help to avoid the awkward command click method for multi-selection in the Blueprint ‘applies to’ method.
MX REQUEST: support colored blocks in Formula Editor
Allow the builder to select if the colored text in a formula is colored text or a colored block. the colored blocks would be AWESOME! Mockup: The purple would be the same as the font color was. just an inversion. like highlighting.
MX REQUEST: allow the user to archive portions of a MODEL!
Often I find myself taking a standard demo model and building completely new structures for a specific customer/demo. I start from a standard demo model so I can reuse structures and concepts from it. Then, when I am done, I want to keep only the new stuff and any basic structures/data that I ended up using.It would be…
MX REQUEST: Model Search work with ‘Applies To’ section of a module.
Allow the Model Search feature to give results where the search term shows up in the ‘Applies To’ section of a module. I could see that this level of result could get thick. Maybe it is a flag the user can check to say they want this in the results?
MX Request: support this modeling sequence
* Edit the formula of a Line Item that is formatted as a Number * Enter a formula, the output of which will be Text * Submit the formula * Be presented with a modal that informs me that this formula, as entered, will not work in this Line Item * The modal gives me two options: Cancel so I can modify the formula to result…
MX Suggestion: add some formatting to the drill-in view.
This formatting would signal to the user what lines were actually used to derive the result. Here is a mockup: I highlighted in green the portion that was actually needed to get the result. The idea would be to make these first two lines bold or something.
Need Help: Circular Reference Error
Hi Anaplan Community, I have been thinking of ways to pull Prior Year value into Current Year. Previously, I used OFFSET() formular where I would offset -52 weeks.

Using Saved Exports as Import Data Sources
I suggest implementing a feature where we can use Saved Export Definitions as Import Data Sources. Right now we can use a File or Connect to Anaplan Model - I would love to be able to select Saved Export Definitions in addition to current option of Lists, Modules and Saved Views. The natural place for this, in my opinion,…
Use setting grids as a model Import Dat Source
There are certain fields in the settings tables of a model that would be very useful to be able to easily import into a module for further calculation/model usability. The uses I have already encountered would be: * The 'user settings' table - this would allow filters and dynamic cell access more easily based on role, or…
Anaplan Time Days Mapping with Custom Days List
Hi, I have created a module to map Anaplan days with Custom Days List (snapshot attached). But while I am trying to use the Custom list in Sum formula it is not giving any value. Time settings at my end are at week Level (4-4-5). I have build this mapping because while aggregating days into months gives wrong summation due…

Issue with formula editor :clicking on a list or list item does not work anymore (e.g. for finditem)
Hello All, Since the new formula editor release, I noticed that when I am editing a formula and go and click on a list or list item, the formula does not get populated with the list / list item. Now instead, I need to type the name of the list (e.g. when using FINDITEM or ITEM formula). This is bad! Is anyone else having…

Hi, I am little late to the party regarding the new modelling environment. However, I have started to use it and the experience seems to be very posititve. However, I have been unable to directly reference lists from general lists when requiring them in a formula. I am finding that when trying to reference a list directly…

Hierarchy Summary
Anplanners, I have a Module (XYZ) Dimensioned by GL (Row Headers), Cost Centers L3 as selectors and few Line items to determine the total amount. Aim is to get input at GL level for each Cost Center. I have a summary module (ABC) which is NOT dimensioned by any LISTS and simply has to take the high level total of the above…
Ways to identify duplicates for list import other than RANK or ISFIRSTOCCURRENCE?
Just wondering is there a way to find duplicates where the cell count is more than 50 million and I know in Polaris engine it is possible. Any other way to do it in the classic engine ?
Rollup and SUM with own value
Friends, need help & suggestion in achieving the below Above table clearly shows the Parent and Child combination but the catch is to consider own cost and child to show the rollup.. We have discovered a long method by introducing multiple line items (10 bare minimum; since the depth may be of 10 levels) but looking for…
Insert Version should ask for Switchover date
When I want to Bulk Copy an existing version, currently I need to do two steps: 1/ Insert New Version 2/ Do the Bulk Copy In the first step, the system will create a new version that takes the maximum storage, as you are not asked to specify the switchover date prior to creating the new version. Therefore, due to storage…
