Open source module link in NUX
Suggest to add the "Open Source module" ability to the NUX, incl. the current analysis options available in the old UX. Right now our users can use the open source module function in the old UX whenever they want to dig into the details, see all the underlying formulas/comments, and do ad hoc analysis. Especially, the…
Switchover and Current Month change
Hi, It would be great to have functionality for automatic update of cheking out the Current version as well as changing the Switchover month during the period shift. I was informed that it's no possibility to do it not manually. It can be done e.g. by the switch button or the opportunity to trigger it when the month…
Switch Statement Formula
Adding a switch statement formula to Anaplan to get rid of long nested IFs! This would assist in readability (and therefore maintenance) of complex formulae. Switch statements allow you to test a condition, and assign an outcome to each condition. For instance you may have want to test what mode of transport is being used:…
"Model Health" / Performance Dashboard
As an external Anaplan partner, we get regularly the question to look into the performance and structure of customer models to assess the health of a model and to find opportunities for improvements. I built for this a model that allows me to upload f.e. line items and gives direct insights on key areas like size, usage of…
New Model Experience - formula editing field improvement
I am sharing here one idea that would make the New Model Experience even better than it is now: Automatic formula indentation / keeping white spaces and new line hits in formula text It would be quite nice to be able to keep the formulas more friendly-looking and let devs to work with them easier. Colours in formulas made…
Standardise Zero Formatting between Modules (& Classic UX) and New UX
When setting number formats, the formatting should be consistent across Modules/Classic/New UX. Below, see an example where a material zero balance is formatted as a hyphen as selected. In the New UX, this appears as a non-zero value. The workaround is to round the output to zero, but Anaplan should format consistently…
Be able to navigate/refresh dashboards while processes are running by other users
It will be a lot more efficient for users to be able to navigate and refresh through the dashboards so at least be able to view the information even if other users are running actions or entering inputs. At the moment, the whole model freezes while other users are processing action or entering inputs. This sometimes may…

Level 2, Sprint 3- 3.3.6 Activity: Test the Shipping Cost Formulas
Hi, I am struggling with updating the formulas of Confirmed PO Delivery and Confirmed Purchase order receipt. Regarding "Confirmed PO Delivery", I understand to replace OFFSET by POST, to push the data to future periods instead of pulling: POST(PO Submitted, -Final Shipping Time Weeks, 0). But I don't get what is wrong…

Cloudworks export date format timestamp
I would like to have the possibility to define the date format for exports to cloud storages. When you currently export files through Cloudworks you have the choice to tick/untick the overwrite file option.

Grid on dashboard
* Hi, in a module saved view, I created a grid with weekly time buckets filtered on about two years history and two years future.. On the NUX dashboard view, the grid starts from the first week, so 104 weeks in the past, and we need to scroll to the current week if we want to make changes in the future. I would like the…
Display Line Item GUID in Blueprint
I would like to have a unique identifier for every line item in a blueprint displayed either on screen or when I do an export as this will enable me to do more straightforward comparisons between models where the line item name may have changed but not the use of the line item itself. Currently I either have to a code…
Create a Roles List That Can Be Referenced in Modules
Having a Roles list that is auto-generated and able to be leveraged in modules would be very helpful. For example, in certain system/admin modules we assign read/write drivers on partiucular line items. Currently, the users list is leveraged to dynamically change the access via a formula and an import. However, having the…

I tried to write if/else formula for it but it didn't…
"Average" is close to useless. Need to be able to automatically only average non-zeros
The average summary method and aggregation function [Average:] both include zero values when calculating an average. This makes sense but sadly means that in almost all scenarios the irritating workaround of counting non-zeros and then dividing is required. This costs line items (and therefore space), increases calculation…
Add ability to easily step through / run until X in a Process
I would like the ability to more easily step through the actions in a given Process. Often when trying to debug an issue with a given process, I need to step through the actions in the process to see how the data or views change mid-process. Currently, I need to search for and run each action independently in order to do…

The formula is working correctly, but can only see the result in a subsidiary view. Need to know if possible how to get the result to show when the LI is not in subsidiary view. If this is not…
