Hello Pigment,I would like to ask for your help regarding the RANK function, as I don’t fully understand the logic behind the ordering of its rank.Initially, I thought it considered the order of the list used as a dimension; that is, if my first 5 values to rank are equal, my rank 1 would be the first item in the list. However, this doesn’t always work that way. Here’s an example: Ideally, I want to create something like "ISFIRSTOCCURRENCE" that allows me to identify the first value created (like in Anaplan). My initial approach was essentially that: if my rank value is 1, then that is my first occurrence. However, I can’t achieve this correctly.What is the logic behind using "Sequential" as argument then? How does it behave? Or how does it find the values to rank? Do they rely on the ID behind the list items when the ranking attributes are the same?I found a post where they created a list of values to rank and used BY FIRSTOCCURRENCE, but that would require creating the list every ti

Successful Data Import Notification for Multiple Selected Users

I’m wondering if it’s possible to send out a notification to multiple users when a successful data import has been completed? Ideally by e-mail or through Slack. In my experience so far only the user that initiated the data import receives the notification.

Trigger import through API without sending data

Is it possible to trigger an import from Netsuite, Amazon S3 or Salesforce using Pigment’s API?So in this case we don’t want to send the data in the request body, we just like to trigger an existing import using the API instead of having the import to run on a schedule. Just want to confirm if this is supported or not, can’t really tell by reading the documentation here:

Create a Metric off Transaction Table to sum by period but filter by load date

Hello. I have imported a transaction list into Pigment that has two date dimensions. One is “Month” and is = to an accounting period. The second date dimension is the “Load Date” added automatically during the import. Each month, I will append to the data list so at the end, this list could have GL data by period for each load month. I am able to sum the data by period OR by load month but I’m not able to say which load I want to use. My current formula is like this:'02. Test Pivoted Push'.Amount[BY SUM: '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Department, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.'GL Account', '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Month, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Subsidiary, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Vendor]I want to add in a condition where the results will be based on which load month is selected (something like ]'02. Test Pivoted Push'.'Load Date'= Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month] where ‘Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month’ will be determined by me.

Link to a prefiltered board

When you apply a filter to a board you can see that the url is updated to include the current filter. The problem is just that the url only includes a GUID. Is there any way to find these guids in Pigment? For example when filtering on a specific employee in my employee dimension I can see that []=df7ce50d-304b-472e-a8e0-f448d960e8de is added to the url, and I would expect that each employee is related to a unique guid, so question is just how to get from dimension value to a guid. My use case is that I am having a grid view with a list of employees. For each employee I would like to link to another board with details about each employee and I would like this board to automatically be prefiltered based on which row I clicked on the first board.

Calculation with Aggregations

Hi Pigment community,I am trying to calculate our revenue per employee metric. The metric should show Rev/FTE by month, and then, when aggregated by quarter, it should take the total revenue for the quarter and divide it by average monthly employees. The issue is that, for quarter it is summing up the total employees instead of taking average. This is what I am getting in Pigment, for instance: But what I want is the following: I tried showing “Total Revenue” as % of metric “Employees”, but even there it is still taking the sum of 3 months employees. I created table with Quarter dimension only, which fixes this, but I wanted to have months there too.

Features Supported by the Data Assistant

Most of what you see in Views can be produced by the Data Assistant using simple commands. At present, the Data Assistant does not support the following:Queries on Lists and Tables Queries on Snapshots Custom aggregators (including average) Sorting by Dimension property Pivoting Dimensions’ Rows and Columns Combined charts Complex calculations Application variables Formatting Learn More Queries on Lists and TablesIf you have key information stored in Lists, consider creating Metrics from that data so the AI can answer queries on it. For example:you have a Dimension List that contains prospects over time your Members want to know total prospects at year-end you create a dedicated Metric “Prospects count” that counts up the number of prospects per Month from your List, and set it as AI-accessible the Data Assistant fetches your Metric even though the source data is in a List Queries on SnapshotsFor example:Scenarios that come from Snapshot Scenarios Custom aggregators (including average)

Formula Playground needs to be more intuitive

We had to create a workforce roster of all employees with on target cash (or OTE) in local and USD and it was very challenging to do this. Internally, on our team, we tried to troubleshoot it ourselves and spent a few hours with no success. Then we engaged our solutions consultant to do this and it took him 25 minutes to go through the spiderweb of how to take local currency multiplied by current fx rates to get USD. In my past experience using other systems like Adaptive, this would take 3 minutes. I’m bumping this up because I think there is an opportunity to create an easier/more intuitive formula playground or builder for some calculations.

Aggregate the metric's data based on a dimension

I am trying to consolidate the no. of projects assigned to an employee by below formula:('Assigned Project'[BY COUNTUNIQUE: 'd. Integer','d. Employee'])The metric is of dimensions: Project, Integer, employee .In rows, i have all the dimensions of the metric, but am getting the “1” as the result, and the result is correct if I keep only employees in the rows.I need to fetch the total no. of projects assigned to an employee. (Metric is having 3 dimensions: Project, Integer, employee ). If an employee has total 4 projects assigned, it should show: “4” as the output for that employee instead of “1” value in each of 4 rows.

Can Pigment recognise a date dimension list if not linked with the native "Day" Dimension in Pigment ?

Hello hello Pigment communityI am struggling over an issue and maybe someone can help me. My goal is here to setup a dashboard to analyse our commercial pipeline. So all the client listed in our pipeline are potentiel leads. We have in this data several columns of date : last interaction date, last modified date, expected close date, etc… with also another column : “extract date” indicating the date of the extract of the whole data. The difficulty is that i cannot link all of theses column with the “Day” dimension in Pigment because i can’t have in the same metric several dimension linked with the “Day Dimension”. Hence i will have to create dimension for all of theses columns, not linked to the “Day dimension”, in order to be able to use them in my metrics. But my question is : if i create a dimension in which my data is several “date”, will pigment be able to recognize and organize it (in a graph for example) if the data is not linked with a native Pigment dimension ? For example, if

Calculating Variance percentage for YTD values

We are trying to create a Income Statement for actuals vs Budget and previous years (PY in the table below) value. Showing both monthly value and YTD. We have our metrics on the rows in the table below. YTD is created as a calculated item using Cumulate and all PY columns are also created as calculated items, using an Offset on version Actuals. The problem is that I can’t get the column to the very right “Var PY %” to show the right value, no matter how I define the calculation priority. If I put it before YTD it is blank and if I put it after YTD it calculates the variance as a percentage for each month and then sums all these percentages together which results in a totally incorrect value. Any ide how to set up the calculations to make this work?
