HI Kevin    Thanks, appreciate you trying to find a solution to this   I still get the error above with that Formula for main and summary for Time. However I think the solution you mentioned would end up aggregating the ARPU metrics into Time period parents....so Jan $50, Feb $50, March $50 Q1 = $150 ARPU which is not correct in the sense of a quarterly ARPU   Perhaps I am doing something silly but our Anaplan solutions architect was also stumped on this.   Thanks Andrew   ...

Hi Kevin   thanks. My understanding is you cant use Formula type summation with a  LOOKUP or OFFSET formula in a line item.    Thanks Andrew   ... View more

Formula Summary type on LOOKUP or OFFSET

Hi,   We are a NZ Telecommunications company. We have the need to report metrics such as ARPU $ (avg revenue per user) and Avg cost per user across our segments. I can do this compared to our forecasts & budgets easily but if I try to do this for Prior Year or prior period data I am stuck for a solution.    I cant use formula type summation with either a LOOKUP or OFFSET which is needed to look up the prior  period comparison. I have a segment hierarchy and I need it to calculate the ARPU at each level of the list not aggregate so  I need the formula to be used. I have struggled for years on this one but Prior year and prior period reporting has just jumped up in importance    Would appreciate if there was any solution out there or if this could be put forward "Request for Enhancement" to enable these important metrics to be properly calculated.   THanks Andrew         ...
