Referencing same line item of prev row

[NivyaR]

Hi,

I am facing issue in trying to reference the same item of prev row. For example,

This is the Excel formula for a line item ‘Calendar Month’ :

 IF Calendar month of prev row = 12 THEN 1 ELSE Calendar month of prev row + 1

Has anyone faced similar issue? The Else part of the formula gives circular reference.

Could you please describe a little bit more what you are trying to achive with this formula?

You can use CUMULATE formula for this. Cumulate by Month No. list via Count. https://help.anaplan.com/1173a903-81bb-4838-a4d0-1c9f9c739aa3-CUMULATE
CUMULATE(1,[boolean to recet counter],[month no. list])

boolean to reset counter can be based on Start month = Val_Date

Thank you. I was able to resolve the functions for Month/Year related line items using Cumulative. 

But I have similar issues with other line items too, where we cannot use Cumulate() or Mod().

For Example:

These items are dependent on each other, hence giving circular reference

Any workaround for this?

As per my understanding , use the cumulate function - the Boolean line item used to reset the start month 

Cumulate(Month No, boolean)
