Product updates

Here’s what’s new:

New time range propagate options

Two new options in the time range selector make it easier to work with sparse or missing data:

• Next available value: looks forward in time to fill gaps.
• Most recent value: looks backward, and if nothing is found, forward to the first non-null.

Use these for things like CRM deals (propagate a closed deal’s value forward) or HRIS data (backfill employee start dates). They’re available in both the datashaping UI and the formula editor.

Simpler Activity History

The Activity History now filters out background syncs and automated Runway actions by default.

That means you’ll just see the edits made by you and your team. You can still toggle Runway’s automated actions back on if you need them.

Small changes, big impact

• Variance columns on by default: Add a comparison view, and now variance value and variance % columns appear by default. No extra toggles needed.
• Fiscal year rollups that match your reporting needs: Quarterly and annual rollup labels will align with your chosen fiscal year start month (March instead of January, for example). This makes reporting consistent with a fiscal year offset.

A set of upgrades that make Runway easier to share, present, and fine-tune.

Block names in CSV exports

CSV downloads now include the block name in the file name, so every export is instantly recognizable. Especially useful when working with multiple blocks at once.

Time period comparisons in charts

See how a driver compares to itself in different periods.

• Add comparisons to any time series chart.
• Choose rollups like 3 months ago,  12 months ago, or  4 years ago.
• Layer multiple time-period comparisons for richer historical context.

Small changes, big impact

• Use a divider to separate sections on pages. Just type -- in a text block and hit Enter.
• Time period ticks now appear on small and medium chart x-axes, making timelines easier to scan.
• Combo and side-by-side charts now share the same height, so they align cleanly.
• You can now reorder drivers in combo charts directly from the 6-dot menu in the settings menu on the stacked bar chart.

Zero rows grouped at the bottom of drill-ins

Drill-ins are now easier to scan. Rows that contain only zeros automatically drop to the bottom, so the drivers with values set for the time-period are always front and center.

If you enter a value in a previously zeroed-out row, it will jump back up to the top.

Smarter variance calculations

Variance columns now treat missing or NULL drivers as 0. This means drill-in variance rows add up cleanly to the total variance for the driver.

Drill-in limits to keep things smooth

Drill-ins show every input behind a driver. Like contracts that feed revenue, or vendor spend driving marketing expense. To keep things fast:

• Runway now displays the first 15 rows by default.
• A “Show all rows” button expands the rest when you need them.
• The row limit is configurable for your organization or individual users. Just reach out if you’d like us to adjust them.

A global, draggable formula editor

Open the formula editor once and keep it open across pages. Drag it anywhere on your screen so it never blocks the numbers you need to reference

• Stays open until you’re done, so you don’t lose your place if you click away.
• Works across driver grids, databases, and pages.

Click to add formula entities

You can now build formulas by clicking directly on:

• Driver names
• Driver formula cells
• Actuals cells

Each click inserts a reference into your formula automatically. No typing required.

New math functions

We’ve added more tools for advanced calculations:

• pow(base, exponent) or power(base, exponent) → alias for base^exponent
• exp(exponent) → Euler’s number e raised to exponent
• log(argument, [base]) → logarithm, with optional base (defaults to 10)
• ln(argument) → natural log

Smarter parentheses

Writing complex formulas just got easier:

• Highlighting: The editor highlights the nearest enclosing pair when your cursor is between parentheses (even nested ones).
• Coloring: Each nested level gets its own color so you can follow your logic at a glance.

We’ve added new options that make bulk variance color adjustment possible and intuitive.

Bulk update variance colors

Outperformance is not always a good thing for your drivers. Now you can choose whether positive variance shows as green or red, depending on the business context that you know.

• Variance color updates can be applied across many drivers at once.
• Bulk update colors from the driver format menu, or use new context menus in comparison views for quicker bulk adjustments.

Small changes, big impact

• You can also now edit the current scenario formula in a comparison view.
• Goal shading on charts now correctly reflects logic for negative goals.

Driver values can now be formatted to display as K or M for a cleaner view.

• Right-click a driver → Format and display → Abbreviate → choose Thousands or Millions.
• Double-click into a cell or hover to see full precision.

Time period rollups preserved when you turn a table into a chart

• If you roll up a driver table to show quarterly or annual values, the same rollup now sticks when you turn it into a chart. No more snapping back to monthly.
• Fewer rollup adjustments needed as you create Runway pages.

Small changes, big impact

• Drag drivers with ease. Move drivers between tables on the same page, and even into empty ones. The drop zone is more forgiving, so you don’t need pixel-perfect aim.
• Block resizing fixed. Column handles no longer cover buttons inside blocks. Handles are slim until you hover, then expand for easy resizing without getting in the way.
• Removed “copy” suffix when duplicating blocks on pages. Duplicating a block now simply re-uses the original block’s name.

Here’s what’s new:

Highlight broken formulas in red

It’s now easier to spot when a formula is broken:

• In the formula editor: if a formula references a deleted driver, the pill shows up in red.
• Now, in formula columns within tables: the same red highlighting applies

This way, you can see errors in your formulas at a glance by scanning down the formula column.

Small changes, big improvements

• When you delete an actuals formula for a driver shown as a time-series, the actuals formula gets removed and properly inherits a default formula.
• For default formulas set on a database column, the actuals formula display shows the inherited default formula, instead of an empty actuals formula state.

A handful of updates that make databases faster and cleaner.

Time series view

• Filtered drop-downs: Only columns containing time series data show up when you’re picking a series from the Customize → Time Series menu on a database block.
• Hidden columns auto-unhide: Switch a database into time series view, and you’ll always see the full picture. No missing data hiding in the background.

Fix for multiple filters on the same property

Applying multiple filters on the same property now evaluates as AND instead of OR.

• Example: Department IS NOT (Sales, Marketing) correctly returns everything except Sales and Marketing.
• Works for both IS and IS NOT operators.

Bring in more history

Need more than the default sync window?

You can now set a custom start year for data syncs and pull in longer historical records. Useful for analyzing trends over many years (not just the default window). Ask your CXM if you need to pull in data from an earlier date.

HRIS-sourced fields stay locked

Dimensions coming from an HRIS integration (like Rippling) can’t be renamed anymore, preventing broken links.

• Now, if you try to rename an HRIS-sourced dimension, you’ll see a tooltip explaining why the name is fixed.
• Everything stays in sync with the source system automatically.

Two upgrades that make Runway reporting more robust and more responsive.

Mention anything

You can now mention almost anything in a text block:

• @ a model, database, page, or driver
• Mention specific rows from a database like key customers or teammate checklists.
• Mention values using a relative date (like “Last Close” or “3 months from now”).
• Pages now stay up to date as time moves forward.

Mentions are clickable, live-linked, and stay accurate even if display names change.

Drill-in/out faster

We’ve made expanding and collapsing rows faster, even for large orgs and heavy datasets.

• Drill-ins feel snappy.
• Smoother navigation across big models and databases.

Some much-requested power-ups for writing, editing, and working with data:

All date drivers on the Plans timeline

Any date driver whose formula resolves to a date now shows up as an event in the Plans timeline.

• Drag to change the date. The driver value updates instantly (and vice versa).
• Delete the event from the timeline to clear the formula.
• Re-add the value in the driver to bring the event back.

Now you can use Plans for revenue contract modeling, new product launches, bonus payout timing, and more!

Note: To backfill timeline events for existing date drivers, just copy the driver value and paste it back. This triggers the timeline event creation.

New strikethrough shortcut: Cmd+Shift+S

Strikethrough now works the way you expect, and the tooltip shows the shortcut.

Paste into large databases (even unloaded rows)

You can now paste large datasets into any database, even if the destination rows haven’t loaded yet.

• Pasted values are properly applied to all target rows, regardless of what’s loaded.
• No need to scroll and preload rows first.

Paste bug fixes

• We’ve fixed a bug where drivers didn’t update after editing a segment attribute in time series view.
• Fixed paste repeat logic: you can now paste 1 2 3 into a longer range like 1 2 3 1 2, and it’ll repeat correctly. No perfect multiples required.

‍

A few upgrades to make working in Runway smoother, especially for teams building big, complex pages.

Resize formula editor

You can now resize the formula editor with a simple drag.

• The editor starts out small by default, just like before.
• But now you can stretch it up to 80% of your screen — ideal for writing longer logic.

Small changes, big impact

Optional row numbers in databases

Need to reference a specific row? You can now enable Row Number by clicking Customize → Columns → Row Number in the top-right corner of any database.

• Hidden by default — shows up only if you want it.
• Great for scanning long tables without sorting or filtering.

Lazy loading for block rows on pages

Pages with lots of content now load way faster.

• Blocks are loaded as you scroll, instead of all at once. No change to how things look or scroll — just a snappier feel.

Loading states for database cells

Database grids now show shimmering loading placeholders when calculations are still running. This makes it clear that the system’s still crunching numbers.

Two highly requested upgrades, now live for everyone.

Drag to resize blocks on a page

Need more room for a driver label?

You can now resize blocks by dragging their edges, just like spreadsheet columns.

• Works when blocks are laid out side by side in the same row.
• Resize widths with a simple click and drag.
• No need to rebuild layouts or guess at proportions.

Makes it easier to tidy up pages, and see the information you need.

All roles can now export (with safeguards)

Exporting to CSV is now available to all user roles, not just Admins.

• Managers, Members, and Guests can now export models and databases.
• Any restricted fields or rows are automatically excluded.
• What you’re allowed to see is what you’re allowed to export.

This keeps your data sharing flexible, while respecting every permission rule you’ve set.
