Now I can combine grids in the user interface, it would be useful to be able to retain any row totals and/or sub totals when I filter on a List or Text formatted column. In the example below, if I filter on Spread=Even, I lose the sub-totals for the numeric monthly data by Entity.

The Color Palette under Assets only applies to charts, but it’d be awesome if we could use it for font and text colors in NUX. It’s a bit tricky to remember or copy hex codes every time, and this would make pages so much easier to style and keep on-brand. A small change with a big visual impact!
When Ancestor List code and Grand Child Code in a numbered list hierarchy are same, Anaplan not throwing any warning error in the import (stating the code conflicts) instead it pass are success.
While the Model Map functionality already exists in Anaplan, it becomes difficult to navigate when working with large models.
