Hi, I have a module with 5 products (A,B,C,D,E). all the products have some values with respect to 3 line items (X,Y,Z). Now i wanted to distribute the value of A in to the remaining products(B,C,D,E). with common percentage.
Any idea how can i do it?
Example here:
A B C D E
Before X 100 10 10 10 10
After X 0 35 35 35 35
Similar with Y and Z.

Yep, you're close. Just need to mess with the formulas. Here's the blueprint of the example I showed. Notice how I used SELECT to get the desired aggregate value. If you're in the middle of the structured list (not top value) then you should use LOOKUP. Lookup the parent from a system module.
Yep, just use the new "hold and release" functionality. Literally just came out last month. Right mouse click on the cell you want to hold, navigate to "breakback" and select the "hold" Then change the aggregate value and only the unheld values will change.
Thank you for the response but this hold functionality will only work with Breakback enabled line item.
But my line items (X,Y,Z) are not breakback enabled as these are formula based derived values.
I tried using this function but was not able to use it.
Any other solution ?
Ah, okay, now I understand. So, in Anaplan you cannot have a line item be both editable and a calculation. One exception is the use of native versions but that won't help you here.
Two ways to solve this:
Thank you for the response, Partially understood the solution.
I have couple of queries in the solution provided.
Que1: How do we calculate the % of the line item i mentioed.
Que2: As you can see in the final SMG&A - I need the value of "No product" to be now distributed as per the new % provided into other Products.
Hope this helps you get my query.
Thanks in advance
