Product updates

Here’s what’s new — improvements that make your formulas more powerful, and your formatting more flexible:

Write smarter logic with AND() and OR()

Use AND() or OR() in your formulas to model multiple expressions at once. We support either option now.

This works with boolean expressions, numbers, dates, drivers, attributes, and even nested groups.

Pull numbers from dates

We’ve added helper functions that extract numbers from dates. Use them like this:

• year(2025-03-08) → 2025
• quarter(2025-03-08) → 1
• month(2025-03-08) → 3
• weeknum(2025-03-08) → 2
• day(2025-03-08) → 8

They work on any date expression — whether it’s a literal date, or a reference to a driver. Helpful when you’re segmenting data, running rollups, or just trying to answer “what happened in Q3?”

Apply your accounting format globally

You can now control how negative numbers appear across your entire workspace.

Under global settings, choose from:

• Default: -100
• Parentheses: (100)
• Accounting: $(100)

This makes it easier to standardize formatting across pages — without adjusting individual cells.

Quicker access to permissions

When you click Share in a page, you’ll now see a direct link to the full user access settings. So you can review, adjust, or lock things down — without losing your place.

A handful of thoughtful upgrades that make everyday work in Runway feel better — especially for charting and data entry:

Charts that communicate better

Charts should look good and make your point clearly. We’ve added a few small touches to help with both:

Abbreviated units

Toggle values like 1M instead of 1,000,000, per chart.

Simplified legends

When comparing scenarios, show just the scenario name (not the whole driver).

Precision where you need it

Change the number of decimal places right from the driver detail pane, without switching views.

Database improvements

Pin your formulas

Keep actuals or forecast formulas fixed for a driver as you scroll, so you always know what’s driving your numbers. Use Alt + Cmd + P to toggle.

Use Tab to move like you’re in Excel or Sheets

Pressing Tab now moves to the next cell and saves your input. Just the way you expect.

Some updates don’t shout — they just make everything feel better. This batch is all about that: less friction, more flow, and features that just work.

Insert drivers exactly where you want them

You can now insert a new driver above or below any existing one. Just right-click a driver name, like you would in a spreadsheet.

And if you want to move even faster, hit Cmd + Option + = to open the driver context menu from your keyboard.

Smarter drag-and-drop

Reordering drivers feels more polished:

• A blue line shows exactly where your driver will land.
• Drill-in rows move together as a unit.

More options, wherever you work

The Duplicate and Add dimension options aren’t just for model pages anymore. You’ll now find them in the 6-dot menu anywhere you work with drivers.

Faster grids, consistent UI

We’ve migrated the model page to our new grid engine. It still looks the same, but now you can load 10x more rows without slowing down.

Collapse or expand everything

For long nested tables, use Cmd/Shift + Click to collapse or expand all sub-sections in the left navigation at once. Helpful when you need a quick reset.

Discard filter changes

The trash icon now lets you undo any filter changes in driver tables — so it’s easier to experiment, see what happens, and back out cleanly.

Whether you're setting up a new page, building a forecast, or writing a formula, you now have more control over how dates work — by default, and by design.

Set one date range for your Runway org

Tired of adjusting the date range every time you visit a new page or open a detail pane?

We've made adjusting dates a global setting in Runway.

You can set a Default date range for your entire org under Settings → Default date range. Any new pages or databases will automatically use this range — unless you override it at the block or page level.

Reference fixed time periods in formulas

Sometimes you want a formula to shift with time — like “last month.” Other times, you want it anchored to a specific window — like Q2 of last year.

The formula editor now accommodates both options. By referencing Specific date ranges, you can lock a formula to a fixed period. Great for benchmarks, campaign retros, or anything that depends on a specific historical time range.

We’ve upgraded our documentation! Here’s what’s new:

Clearer structure

Everything’s organized the way real teams actually use Runway. Whether you’re modeling for the first time, or bringing your whole team in, the new Runway Docs are built to get you unblocked and back to work.

Find answers faster

The Docs include a built-in AI assistant that answers questions as you go. It’ll help you troubleshoot, look up syntax, or explain how something works.

And if you still need help, we’re just a message away.

Easier onboarding for your team

Need someone to model their own budget? Run a scenario? Contribute to planning?

Just send them the Docs — they’ll be up to speed in minutes.

Available inside Runway

You don’t have to leave Runway to find the answer. Click the Help icon in the top right, and open the docs right inside the app.

We’ve reworked the detail pane to be faster, more consistent, and easier to navigate.

Faster performance

The detail pane now uses the same high-performance table engine as the rest of Runway. That means smoother scrolling, quicker loads, and a more consistent drill-in experience across the app.

Drill into your model in line

Drill-ins are now supported in the detail pane. Click the arrow to expand or collapse the inputs for any driver — no more flipping between pages to troubleshoot.

Cleaner layout

We’ve also simplified the layout to three tabs: Overview, Used by, and Plans.

The Overview tab gives you an intuitive look at inputs to any driver — just drill-in through each layer of detail to trace the inputs or update driver values

Small changes, big impact

Right-click → Detail pane

You can now open the detail pane from any driver grid cell by right-clicking it — just like in databases.

Filter icon on collapsed config

If a filter is applied to a database, you’ll see the filter icon — even when the database config panel is collapsed.

‍Clearer paste errors

If you paste more months than are visible in a table, we now show a clear error message prompting you to extend the date range.

Filter by access level

In orgs with a lot of pages, finding who has access to what can be difficult. Now, you can filter user permissions by:

• Access level (full access, can edit, can view, no access)
• Page type (page, database, model)

We’ve made writing and navigating formulas clearer and more functional.

Cleaner formula editor

Driver names now show up in the formula editor, so it's clear what you're editing. UI tweaks also make complex formulas easier to read and build — especially when you’re crafting complicated logic.

Date drivers in filters

You can now reference date drivers in formula filters. That means smarter, more dynamic logic for drivers like cohort modeling, revenue recognition modeling, or product launches where you need a time-based rule.

Smarter search

Search now returns what you actually meant to find. Now, when you type "COR," you get results with "COR" — not just things that happen to resemble it.

You'll also see dimensions and metadata right in the dropdown, making it easier to pick the right driver at a glance.

= just works

You can now use a single = for comparisons, just like in spreadsheets.

We still support == if you prefer that, but new users won’t get tripped up by syntax anymore.

A few more things we think you'll appreciate

• Collapse or expand all sidebar sections with Cmd/Shift + Click. Great for keeping your workspace tidy.
• Sidebar hover preview now shows a small icon next to the full name of an object — so it’s instantly clear whether it’s a page, model, or database.

Drill-ins are one of the fastest ways to understand what’s driving your numbers. If you’re wondering where a number came from, or what’s actually behind a variance, just drill in.

Now, drill-ins are out of beta and available to everyone — with a few big improvements:

• Drill-ins now work in comparison views on Pages, so you can explore both row and column differences between scenarios.
• Errors rise to the top — drivers causing problems now show up first in each drill-in layer, making it easier to find and fix issues.
  
• ‍A cleaner drill-in UI for databases — no more formula or KPI buttons where they don’t belong.
• Clicking the details pane now takes you:
  • To the database spec page for database rows.
  • To the object details modal for database object rows.

Heads-up: Comparison view drill-ins are only available on Pages for now. We’re working on bringing them to models too.

This week’s updates are all about making everyday modeling smoother.

Use exact dates in formulas

You’re no longer limited to “last month” or “3 months ago.”

Now you can choose a Specific date — like “September 2022” — for any time reference in a formula. Handy when you’re pulling actuals from a locked period, or modeling something with a fixed baseline.

Use AND filters on the same column

Need to narrow a range? Now you can write filters like: Customer ARR > 20000 AND < 30000

It’s a small but important fix that unlocks tighter filtering and better conditional logic.

Compare time periods side-by-side

You can now show time periods as columns, not just rows. That means it's easier to spot trends, compare periods, and see how numbers shift over time.

Faster driver grids

We’ve moved driver grids over to a faster, more reliable engine. Here’s what that means:

• Pages load faster, even with big models and long time ranges
• No more stuck cells when a calculation hits an error

This week, we tightened up two small but meaningful things that smooth out interactions and reduce accidental mistakes.

Menus that understand your mouse

You want to click something in a nested submenu. You move your mouse diagonally... and poof — you’ve accidentally hovered over something else in the main menu. Frustrating, right?

We’ve added menu aim to fix that.

Now, you can move your mouse diagonally into a submenu without losing your place. You won’t even notice — it’ll just feel smooth.

Scenario-specific changes

Pages, sections, and blocks are now scoped to the scenario you’re in — just like drivers, formulas, and everything else.

That means if you add or delete them inside a scenario, the changes stay limited to that scenario. If you create a “Layoffs” page in Bear Case, it’ll stay in Bear Case. Main stays clean.

You can now compare dimension values — like channels, segments, dates, or even cohort ages — right inside your formulas.

No workarounds. Just write the logic the way it makes sense in your head:

• if (Channel == 'Paid Ads', 1, 0)
• if (Cohort age >= 3, 1, 0)
• if (Start Date < '2025-04-01', 1, 0)

Here’s what’s new:

1. Using dimensional attributes as inputs

‍Add them straight from the formula editor. They behave just like other formula inputs, and support Boolean comparisons.

2. String comparisons

‍Works with strings like ‘legacy’. Just wrap them in single quotes. Example:

3. Number comparisons

‍Use == , != , >= , or >= to check against numeric thresholds or ranges. Example:

4. Date comparisons

‍Use the standard 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, wrapped in single quotes. Example:

When you’re building in Runway, adding drivers to tables and charts is something you do all the time. So we've focused on making that experience faster, clearer, and easier to use.

Smarter search results

• Matches now prioritize the start of words, not the full string — so searching for “New R” returns New Revenue, not New Customers.
• Results are now ranked more intuitively — Revenue by Source shows up before New Revenue when you search for "Revenue."
• Sub-drivers only appear if your query includes their specific attribute — making the list shorter and more focused on what you're actually looking for.

These changes apply to the driver search menu and global search.

Redesigned, keyboard-first search menu

We've redesigned the driver search menu with a new layout that's easier to scan — and fully keyboard-friendly.

• Matching terms are underlined to help you visually scan results faster.
• We've made it easier to see where each driver lives — we now show which model, page, or database it's connected to.
• Sub-drivers are now grouped under their parent, making it easier to scan and select. You can add individual drivers by selecting the checkbox next to each one — or select the parent checkbox to add/remove the entire group at once.
