Anaplan XL has three quick select options on the right-click menu for a grid. Keep only retains the highlighted members, while Keep all except removes them. The third option, Exclude from Display, allows for creating asymmetric grids.
For example, you may want to display only the budget for future months and only actuals for historic months. To achieve this, select the items you want to remove, and on the right-click menu, select Exclude from Display. Note that this is only applicable when two hierarchies exist on the axis. The user must choose elements from both hierarchies. In the example below, January 2004 is being excluded specifically for Australia.
You can then view and delete excluded items from the report designer via the information icon, which appears on the relevant axis as shown below in columns.
