Versions - Edit
Hi! I am working with versions that have different edition dates set. Working with Forecast Jun Version, which edit date is set from July 15, I have 2 line items. I have two questions: 1 - Why is it that if I set a formula (like a number 1) it is shown in the hole timescale, even though the time editable is from July 15? 2…

I was planning to use a LAG() function to pull the PY value. Offset would work too. LAG( Source Line Item, 52 , 0 ) I have to…

Circular Ref - But using prior month value
Hi, I am trying to build a module which needs to take the cumulated value of a line item from the previous month and reuse it in the current month. This is not circular as the time offset means it is not self referencial. However Anaplan gives me a circular reference error. I have attached a small working to show what I…

Breakback in a Forecast Version
Hi! I’m trying to use the Breakback function in a LI that’s Formula Scope: Actual. So, my Switchover’s in Jun 14, and I’m in the Fcst Version. It doesn’t do Breakback for Q2, just adds the units that I put in the cell to the Quarter. The same happens in the FY14 cell. Is there a way to pass this on??

Create running total not associated with timescale
We are looking for a way to assign decile values to transactions where the order of a measure in a module determines its ranking. We cannot use the RANK() function (without a subset workaround) as the number of transactions exceeds 1M. The CUMULATE function only applies on a timescale. Has anyone found a way to do this?…

Can a version formula be defined just for a single line item?
This question was asked of me recently, about use of version formulas. The current behaviour is that a version formula applies to a set of line items, rather than a single line item.You identify the set by reference to a named line-item subset. The rationale for this is that if you’re setting up a formula for a single line…

How to avoid references to specific years in a formula
I've just been asked about a problem with rolling forward a model from 2011 to 2012. The model had references to full year values, which had been made using a formula like this: Full Year Value = Source[SELECT: Time.FY11] While this works, it requires the formula to be updated every year when the timescale for the model is…

Best Practise for Loading Actual Data
Would anyone have a process defined for "How" to load Actual data into a model. I get that I need an Actual data file with tuple detail. And then I load the data into a Module, likely that has base members to load values. BUT my issue is then, how do I get that data into other Modules, when I cannot run a test against the…

Move a start_date and a end_date from a flat module to a module with Timesc
Step 1 - A flat module allows to enter data of recruitment of permanent or temporary staffs. Step 2 - I wish to charge months from the start_date until the end_date of exit, when it exists, or the end of timescale if end_date doesn't exist. If I succeed in putting my indicators correctly, I don't manage to recover dates.…
