Anaplan XL Reporting (Anaplan XL) is self-serve reporting and analytics software built for business authors, analysts and their audiences. Finance teams and business users have a rich self-serve reporting capability without reliance on IT. The data-connected Microsoft Excel add-in lets users create and distribute interactive reports automatically to any audience, on any device.

Anaplan XL provides reporting, analysis, data exploration and IBCS-compliant charting for business users, while retaining data integrity and transparency for IT. Anaplan XL connects Excel directly to Anaplan’s Planning  and Consolidation platform, along with a range of other data sources including Microsoft Analysis Services, Power BI, SAP HANA, IBM TM1 and many more.

Anaplan XL’s responsive charting enables data exploration through a rich ‘small multiples’ capability. Our business semantic layer maps customer data to business logic, and adds visual intelligence and consistency to the chart design process. The charts understand concepts like Actual, Plan, Forecast, and Revenues and Expenses and can plot these appropriately, fully compliant with IBCS standards.

Anaplan XL table templates provide an intuitive, wizard based approach to create IBCS compliant row-dynamic tables which can be created in seconds.

A simple and consistent annotation process eases the creation of final reports for formal board communication. The process is fast and intuitive, and results can easily be shared in PowerPoint.
