Hello,   I constantly run into the same issue and I'm hoping that someone can help suggest a solution.  When I create an action that imports from a csv file into a list or module, I always find it difficult to re-open up that import action and revise (or just view) the mapping that was previously created.  Instead, I have to do this funky workaround where I re-import a file that has the same name as the file that was previously loaded only for the purpose of viewing the mappings.  This seems silly to me; hoping someone has a better solution.

Hello all!   In the modules screen within settings, you can view whether a given module is shown on a dashboard AND which other modules reference that module.  This gives a great indication whether or not that module is active OR whether it is a candidate for getting deleted.  What is NOT shown, however, is if a given module is referred to within a filter of another module.  I'd like to see that added as a column within the modules screen.  Furthermore, would be great to be able to tell if that module is used as either the target or source of an action.  If none of the above were the case, could Anaplan almost suggest that this is an unused module and therefore should be heavily considered for deletion?  Of course, if you have users that open modules directly and view data from them, then you could have the risk of that view just going away, however I always make all users go through dashboards instead so this wouldn't be a risk for me.   Thoughts?   Thanks!!

I'd looking for something that I think I've seen in other systems referred to as "explode" functionality, which would effectively create a new excel tab for every list item and export to that tab.  So, if I have a department list (for example), I'd like to export data to excel and have a tab show up with the data for each of the departments.  This isn't the exact example I'm looking for (in fact, the example I'm looking for has about 100 items in the list), but this should give you a sense of what I'm looking for.   Thanks, Josh ...

Hello,   Does anyone know if it's possible to do a firstoccurrence formula on a module with 2 lists in the 'applies to'?   Thanks! Josh Brass ... View more

Hello,   I'm trying to import a date into a text-formatted property from a source file.  This works on my machine, however when another user uploads the same file, it seems to be creating a text field which includes 2 digits for the year vs. 4.  So, when I run the import, the text-formatted field reads "12/31/2018", but when someone else runs the same file, it reads "12/31/18".  Does anyone know why this is happening?  I've had the user send me the source file that they are using, and it still shows with the 4 digit date on my machine, but 2 digits when he uploads that file.  Since I'm using this property as part of a "combination of properties" to create a unique ID, this is a very important item.   Thoughts?   Thanks, Josh ...
