Number Formatting Precision / Stop dividing by 1000
I would like to propose a feature to instead of dividing by 1,000 to show items in thousands or 1,000,000 to show numbers in millions, that this is handled by the number formatting.

Scheduled export of Reports and Pages from Anaplan
Can future development of Anaplan include the capability to schedule delivery of Pages and reports to individuals via email? This would be excellent for providing reporting views to management and would be a great benefit as well as match what is standard capability in packages such as Cognos or Hyperion.
How could I see the new management reporting option when I click the "Create a page" button in UX?
This question has been asked many times by clients and internal Anaplan users. So the prerequisite is to ensure that the user account in question has the Page Builder role. If it doesn't, this is how we can ensure the Page Builder role is assigned:…

In-Cell Calculation in NUX
Hi, It will be great to have an in-built cell calculator where you enter simple calculation to formulate a result for particular cell, similar to adding a formula into excel cell.
