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…

Hi everyone, I am trying to import data from CSV file.

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…

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…

Efficient way of exporting large number values from Anaplan
I have a line item which contains number values, usually 13 to 15 digits long. While exporting these number values data is converted into scientific format. For example in Anaplan grid, we can see number as 1,522,731,938,281.0 . Whereas, in the export the same number gets converted into 1.522731938281E12.(Scientific…
