Anaplan XL Reporting can create dynamic charts from data in relational databases. 

To insert a new chart:

  1. Select the Anaplan XL > Insert > Small Multiples > SQL.
  2. Select the data source and query, as described in SQL Data Tables (Administrators).
  3. Anaplan XL will then insert an empty chart for you, ready for your column selections.

Dynamic charts are identical to the Analysis Services based charts except for a few differences:

    • There's no Header area: The charts are always based on the entire data set, and each returned column can be placed anywhere on the chart designer.
    • Any numeric column can be selected for the Y Axis values. When appropriate, this also applies to X-Axis and Color values.
    • To edit the connection, select the Select data source toolbar in the task pane.
