Hi Everyone!

 

I have a parent hierarchy similar to the table below.

 

ListTop LevelParent Hierarchy
H2H1 
H3 H2
H4 H3

 

What I am trying to achieve is a text formatted line item that will show the name of each individual list member (I am struggling with multiple parent members). I need the output similar to the table below.

 

Even though I can indicate that if it is H1 give me H1, give me H4 when it is a child member, but I failed to formulaically distinguish between H3 and H2.

 

 List Item Name TEXT
H4.18H4.18
H4.17H4.17
H4.16H4.16
H4.15H4.15
H3.eH3.e
H4.14H4.14
H4.13H4.13
H4.12H4.12
H4.11H4.11
H4.10H4.10
H4.9H4.9
H3.dH3.d
H4.8H4.8
H4.7H4.7
H3.cH3.c
H4.6H4.6
H4.5H4.5
H3.bH3.b
H2.cH2.c
H2.bH2.b
H4.4H4.4
H4.3H4.3
H4.2H4.2
H4.1H4.1
H3.aH3.a
H2.aH2.a
H1H1

 

Thank you in advance!

    Ultimately, I am trying to use that text to be shown in a KPI card (NUX) to dynamically update text when a different selector item is chosen.

    Similar to, for exmaple, Text String 1 & H2.2 & Text String 3.

    It is really needed.

    If my understanding is correct the requirement is to have the name of the item at all levels in a composite hierarchy.
    1. Has anyone ever had problems with this/Has anyone ever done it? (i.e. impacted by an upgrade?).
    2. If this were not a composite hierarchy the definitions would be as per the "Simple Hierarchy" screenshots.
    3. As this is a composite hierarchy the problem seems to me to be in the Summary method of the module - please see "Composite Hierarchy" screenshots
    4. Please see Composite04 screenshot - is this an Anaplan error? It is certainly one of the worst error messages ever!
    Please note the Composite module definition - only metadata functions fail with a Summary of Formula. Othjer functions work. Also Sumamry of "First non-blank" and "Last non-blank" work for metadata functions if that helps drive a solution!

    I can see this working for a parent but for grandparent and higher level generations I believe this does not meet the need.
