Learn about new Anaplan features and enhancements introduced in November 2024.
Modeling
Engine-specific content in the Anapedia integration
Builders will see a tailored list of functions based on their model engine — Classic or Polaris. This enhancement streamlines the builder experience by only displaying function help relevant to the selected engine. For Polaris-specific functions, detailed calculation differences are provided. This enables builders to create formulas with greater efficiency and precision.
You can learn more in this product update post and in the Anapedia documentation.
Polaris
Improvements to the performance of On-Demand Calculation
Modelers will see improvements in re-calculation speed with On-Demand Calculation combined with small up-stream data changes.
Context-shifting functions over non-Time dimensions
You can now use the PROFILE, SPREAD, POST, and DECUMULATE (as well as the previously released NEXT, PREVIOUS, LEAD, LAG, OFFSET and so on) functions over dimensions other than Time in Polaris. You can add an extra parameter to instruct the engine to shift over a non-Time dimension.
Learn more in Calculation differences between Classic and Polaris.
User Experience
Axis Label Formatting
You can now format a numeric chart axis by:
- Specifying the number of decimal places to display.
- Adding a suffix or prefix (for example $ or %) of up to 3 characters.
