Previously, we shared (upon request) a sample workflow, with the launch of our latest API version, I've been working to update this demo. Today, I'm sharing a very simple workflow, which fetches a list of imports from your…

Excel Add-In: Improve performance populating model/module lists in Excel Add-in
Description: Performance needs to be improved or the user needs to be kept informed of what is happening. Impact: When creating a new view the list of modules to choose from can, potentially, take minutes to populate.
Overlapping text on /model-building/
Each time users change a page (via Select Pages) Anaplan’s excel plug-in creates a new tab. Use case: When a new month comes along, they would rather just select a new month via Select Pages and update the current sheet. Similarly to switch Versions a new sheet shouldn't be created. This is so that they don't lose their…
Excel Add in 3.2 name range format
In Excel Addin 3.2, the name ranges have changed names compared to 3.0, adding a connection guid to the end. There should be an option to keep the old format This will allow users to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 where they have formulas referencing name ranges
Excel Add-in Copy Excel Tab to Duplicate Query
Allow for the capability to copy an Excel tab containing the Anaplan Excel Add-In defined in that tab and duplicate in a new Excel tab. This will reduce having to completely setup a new view if exactly the same as the existing tab.
Anaplan Excel Add-in : Combination of versions 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1 in one future version
We are using Anaplan EXCEL Add-in version 2.6 because of its two-way data transfer concept. Unfortunately the later versions 3.0 and 3.1 are one-way Add-ins (no refresh-function). Our idea: Later EXCEL Add-ins should include at least the features of former add-ins in order to not be forced to run all Anaplan EXCEL Add-in…

Build an export action to run the export where Time is a selector and saved that export action and created a process from that and published…
Workflow Approvals : Integrate Anaplan with Microsoft Power Automate
Hi Community, Have you guys have any experience integrating Anaplan with Microsoft Power Automate for Workflow Approvals. We have a requirement to request single/multilayer Approvals and I see Power Automate as the cost-effective solution until Anaplan builds the new workflow solution Power Automate has its own connector…

Import Action - Not Importing All Data
Hi, I want to upload a .csv file with 8,008 items with 7,999 unique values (codes in the file are unique for 7999 items). After uploading the file into a numbered list, only 2,777 items are getting into the list and in the import summary, it shows 9 items are ignored which makes sense as these are repetitions. However, the…
Import Issues with date and time format in CSV
Hi everyone, I am trying to import data from CSV file. However, whenever I try to modify the data and save the file with CSV format the Date and time format in CSV automatically changed to its original format. Our Anaplan models cannot recognize the original CSV format, so I have to re-input it. Can anyone help me to solve…

Audit during bulk uploads
The User would like: A more detailed view of auditing functionality during the ‘bulk upload’ process at the cell level and create an ‘action’ during import. The action would be created upon export of the audit history. During the Sales planning process the User takes the 1st pass of Territory assignments and has the field…
Able to use the row id number as unique identifier when import a file
It would be really useful if the row id number ("Line #") would be available as additional column when import a csv file or from any other external source. When import files in Anaplan, usually the first step is to import the file into a numbered list where the file columns are transformed in numbered list properties. To…
On an import have the ability to Ignore All
Currently when manually mapping fields in an import there is the option to Match, Ignore and Clear All. It is often the case that it would be easier to set the import to Ignore All and then to match only specific fields on an exception basis. The current requirement of clicking each field in the import you wish to Ignore…
Creating Imports: Search for Saved View, Module, or List
When creating import actions that connect to lists, modules, or saved views within Anaplan models, it would be useful to have a “Search” button to assist in locating the list/module/saved view the model builder needs to select. This search feature is incorporated into other parts of Anaplan and, should it be added to the…
Access to source views on saved exports
When an export is created and saved, from a saved view, it does not indicate the source of that export (only the source module). It will be very useful, when an export is created from a saved view, to have it recorded in Anaplan, in the same way as the Imports are recorded their source view.
Recognise zeroes and blanks as different data inputs when using number formatting
Can we add a number formatting option (text fomatting causes issues for our users) with a default for the cell of blank (if blank then the cell is ignored) and then if a zero is input it is treated as a number. For example - the default calculation for sales volume generates 50 for January 2018, there is an "override" line…
Default Import Setting
It would be great if the 'Default File' setting when you import a csv into a module could be automatically set to 'Admins Only' or 'Everyone' instead of 'No (keep private)'. Our company uses an ETL tool to load data into models and if that setting is not changed then it causes errors and we end up with data that is not…

Can someone provide me information on how Anaplan API works with some examples? I was reading documentation provided by Anaplan using RESTful…
