Learn about new Anaplan features and enhancements introduced in February 2026.

We've introduced the Insights Panel on boards. 

It features a dedicated, collapsible contextual panel that enables you to add:

  • Navigation links, to move seamlessly across related areas.
  • Contextual information relevant to the board, such as narrative, commentary, or guidance.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), for at-a-glance insights.

Expand the panel for deeper insights, and collapse it to stay focused on the main board.

Holiday calendars included in forecasts now account for their impact before and after the actual holiday dates.  

Forecaster now supports Forecast Action triggers from UX pages. 

Forecaster is now deployed across all AWS regions where Anaplan is deployed. The newest additions are EU3 and AU1. 

We've added a Refresh connections and prompt for username option, so you can avoid retyping the user name when credentials are cleared.  

Favourites now has a two-level menu to streamline your experience. The first level shows the workspace (server) and model (database), while the second level shows the module (cube), and favourite name. 

The XL3SubmitWriteback function is designed to programmatically submit pending data changes to the underlying data source. When combined with an XL3Link formula, it provides a formula-based equivalent to selecting the Submit All button. This enables you to control data submission from any cell in your worksheet.

By default, when a calculation is added to a freeform table, the formula is copied down or across the entire column or row when new members are added. This copied formula is based on the formula in the first cell of the relevant column or row.  

You can now change this behavior by selecting the Calculations are independent option in the Freeform Report Properties window. 

Once this property is enabled, you can override Excel formulas in the freeform report on a cell-by-cell basis. 

We've added the Refresh Report option, so you can now specify whether the freeform report should be refreshed when new members are selected. 

We've added a Refresh Members option, which updates the cube metadata without clearing the credentials,  avoiding the need for re-authentication. 

You can now select an Updating a cell overwrites existing writes workbook option. This enables you to control whether only the last entry, or all subsequent entries to the same cells are kept in the Writeback Task Pane.

We've added:

  • Improved grid-to-formula conversion. XL3LookupRW formulas are now only used for write-back-enabled grids. XL3Lookup formulas are used otherwise. 
  • Support for hidden levels in grids for Anaplan and Anaplan Financial Consolidation & Reporting. In the Advanced section of the member selector, you can now choose to hide levels. This setting will be applied when dynamic selection steps are used, or when drilling down on members.
