Anaplan Google Sheets connector for Mac and Chromebook teams

Why platform support matters

Finance teams often standardize on Anaplan for planning and Google Sheets for analysis, review, and collaboration. The platform gap appears when a model builder or business partner needs live Anaplan data but does not work from a Windows desktop.

aPlan4Sheets runs inside Google Sheets, so the spreadsheet connection happens in the browser. That makes the same Anaplan-connected workbook usable from a MacBook, Chromebook, Windows laptop, or Linux desktop without a separate spreadsheet connector install.

What you can do from Google Sheets

• Pull saved views and modules: Export Anaplan views into Sheets for analysis, reconciliation, and reporting packs.
• Build flexible pivots: Reorient rows, columns, page selectors, and line items for the reporting layout you need.
• Refresh connected reports: Update Anaplan-sourced sheets manually or use scheduled refresh for recurring reports.
• Collaborate in real time: Share the Google Sheet with finance partners while keeping Anaplan as the source system.

Common Mac and Chromebook use cases

• Executive reporting: Refresh a Google Sheet connected to Anaplan before leadership reviews.
• Department planning: Give business partners a familiar Google Sheets view of approved Anaplan data.
• Month-end analysis: Pull variance data into Sheets for formulas, notes, and review workflows.
• Model builder QA: Check saved views and module outputs without switching devices or spreadsheet platforms.

How to get started

1. Install aPlan4Sheets from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
2. Open Google Sheets and launch the aPlan4Sheets sidebar.
3. Authenticate with Anaplan using the supported login flow for your workspace.
4. Select a tenant, workspace, model, module, or saved view.
5. Export, pivot, format, and refresh the data directly in the sheet.
