I may be mistaken, but shouldn't the answer to Expense Planning MB be: 3.7 not 37. Not sure if I am missing something, but if this is a mistake it's a little misleading.

(Model Size)

by emilydunn



https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Pre-Release-Phase/Model-Size/ta-p/4315



<p>Model size determines important factors such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>The model topology (whether it is a single or distributed model)</li>
<li>The technical infrastructure</li>
<li>And in some cases, the cost of the model subscription</li>
</ul>
<p>In a multi-dimensional environment such as Anaplan, each cell represents a piece of data, whether or not it contains data. Empty cells and sparsity are handled well in the Anaplan platform; however, count each cell when sizing. Each cell is approximately 10 bytes of data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From this calculation, determine the MB and GB model size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Use the Agile Implementation – The Anaplan Way App to determine size; but first, understand how size is determined. Understanding size helps you realize if something is amiss when working in a model.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the following illustration, you’ll see how model sizing calculators work. Anaplan has calculators for each type of use case, as dimension intersections play a large role in determining size. Common use cases include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Territory and Quota Planning</li>
<li>Sales Planning</li>
<li>Financial Planning</li>
<li>Workforce Planning</li>
</ul>
<p>Our example looks at three modules from a Territory and Quota Planning model.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We calculate size by looking at the major dimensions and then multiplying to get to a cell count.</p>
