We’re always looking for ways to enhance the user experience, and today we’ve made some small yet impactful improvements to modeling on Abacum:

Dimension filters are now colored in the formula editor ✏️

This simple change makes it much easier to read your formulas and quickly identify which dimensions and dimension items are being used to filter your data.

Are you a heavy modeler but find it hard to understand your own magic 🪄? 

Model like a pro with our brand new feature Highlight related variables🎊 Just click on a formula box to see the referenced variables coming to life!

This is extremely helpful to quickly visualize what are your variable dependencies directly in the module builder.

Go here to learn more about this and other features that help you better understand your module's structure.

Is your business now planning with a longer outlook? 

Make it possible on Abacum by extending the years of your versions!

We understand that while emojis can add a fun and playful element to your Spaces, they may not always suit all audiences. 

Starting today, you can choose whether or not to include emojis on Spaces titles.

To turn off emojis, simply navigate to your company settings and toggle off the option that says "Emojis." 

Now you can easily create a copy of the same table or chart, without having to start from scratch each time. 

Go to the 3-dots menu and click on 'Duplicate' to create a copy of that table/chart.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!

We are making Abacum more user-friendly every day, and today we say goodbye to the line_code 👋

Variables codes are no longer relevant as they once were in our platform, so we are completely removing them to provide a more delightful user experience to you 🤩

Now when you download version data, you'll no longer see the line_code column in its excel file, as only the line_name (variable name) is necessary.

Build a robust Sales Capacity model with the new RAMP function 🚀 

High-growth companies have ambitious sales targets to meet, and for that, they need to make efficient hiring decisions for their sales reps.

Ramp is the time it takes for new sales reps to start hitting their quota in full productivity. With this RAMP function, you can apply the ramping schedule of your quota attainment % assumptions to your account executives' headcount.

Check out our Sales Capacity model ↗︎ tutorial to learn more on how to use this function.

No more unnecessary versions laying around 🧹 You can now delete your versions directly from the Versions page menu 🗑️

We've improved one of our most special functions 🚀  Now you can use COUNTUNIQUE to count the unique combinations of values in multiple dataset columns.

We continue on a mission to make people planning easier 💪 

We are introducing two new functions, COUNT_STARTDATE and COUNT_ENDDATE, to help you calculate your new hires and terminated hires respectively.
