Hello,
the MEDIAN Anaplan function doesn't exist ("No native Anaplan function: can be built using calculation").
I have all the wages of my company and I need to calculate the median wage per job type. How can I do ?
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
It can be acheived using RANK & MAX formulae.
1) Using RANK, give the rankings to your wages lineitem.
2) Select MAX rank from the previous line
3) Then max value calculated in previous line divide by "2" (Use ROUND function, if value is odd)
4) In line 3, you get MEDIAN RANK. Wages corresponding to your median rank, is your median wage.
Hope it helps
Regards,
Pavan
Do you mean ?:
Line item 1: Wage [SUM: Job type]
Line item 2: RANK(Line item 1, ASCENDING)
Line item 3: MAX(Line item 1, Line item 2) / 2

Emmanuelle,
For Lineitem 2: Set the summary as "Max" in blueprint view
For Lineitem 3: Formula = Lineitem 2 [Lookup: Parent ]
For Lineitem 4: Formula = ROUND(Lineitem 3 / Two)
Lineitem 4 will give us the median Rank. Then, wages corresponding to Line 4 will be our median wage.
Hope this helps.
Dear both,
thank you for your help.
I found out the solution (I've checked with Excel), which is a little bit more tricky 😉
It would be nice if Anaplan edit a MEDIAN formula 😉
Here are the line item formula:
lists:
Job type: TEXT (example: accountant, Sales...)
Employee: TEXT (employee name)
1)MEDIAN
"Applies to ": Job type
MEDIAN = IF 'MAX/2' * 2 = 1 THEN Wage ELSE IF 'MAX/2' * 2 = 2 THEN Median intermediate ELSE Median intermediate
2) MAX/2
"Summary": MAX
MAX/2 = Rank per job type[MAX: Job type] / 2
3)Rank per job type
"Applies to ": Job type, Employees
Rank per job type = RANK(Wage, DESCENDING, MAXIMUM, Wage > 0, ITEM(Job type))
4)Median intermediate
Median intermediate = IF 'MAX/2' * 2 = 1 THEN Wage ELSE IF 'MAX/2' * 2 = 2 THEN Total Wage per job type / 2 ELSE IF 'MAX: round up' = 'MAX: round down' THEN IF 'MAX/2'[LOOKUP: Job type] = Rank per job type[LOOKUP: Job type] THEN 'SUM: Wage related to MAX round down' / 2 ELSE 0 ELSE Wage related to MAX round up
5) Total Wage per job type
Total Wage per job type = wage[SUM: Job type]
6)MAX: round up
MAX: round up= ROUND('MAX/2', 0, UP)
7)MAX: round down
MAX: round down= ROUND('MAX/2', 0, DOWN)
8)SUM: Wage related to MAX round down
SUM: Wage related to MAX round down = Wage related to MAX round down
9)Wage related to MAX round up
Wage related to MAX round up = IF 'MAX: round up' = Rank per job type THEN Wage ELSE 0
10)Wage related to MAX round down
Wage related to MAX round down = IF 'MAX: round down' = Rank per job type OR 'MAX: round down' + 1 = Rank per job type THEN Wage ELSE 0

Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item? I have a Business Unit list where the total (All BUs) must display the Corporate (1 of 20 leaf items under All BUs total) number of Unique Customers.…
Has anyone found success using Anaplan XL with Polaris models in a shared drive with or without concurrent users? My team has experienced a variety of errors, login failures, etc. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We've been recommended to save and edit files locally, which helps but certainly with its limitations…
