For Input or Output modules, specifically those line items displayed on Pages, summary options are likely to be needed.

Anaplan (as with computers in general) is optimized for numbers and Booleans. Text formats use more memory than any other format due to the way computers need to store the data. Minimize the use of text if possible.

Set to BLANK rather than leaving empty or invalid text.

Ensure headers are set to No Data to avoid unnecessary calculations.
