Variance Table Across Year and Version Dimensions – Seeking Advice

Hi everyone,I’ve come across a need to compare the current year’s forecast against next year’s live forecast, and noticed that this requires referencing two dimensions: Year and Version, or Year and Scenario. For example, I’m trying to build a variance table for a set of metrics where the variance is calculated as:(2025 Year + 2025 Forecast Snapshot) – (2026 Year + 2026 Live Forecast).Has anyone built something similar—where you can select different years and different versions (or scenarios) and calculate the variance between them?Thanks in advance!

Formatting Parent Rows in Bulk

Hi Team,Is there a way to update the formatting of all parent rows at once?For example, we have data at the Location level in rows, with Country set as the parent. Instead of formatting each country one by one, can we apply the formatting to all parent rows together?I believe this would help us save significant time and effort.Thanks & Regards,Spandan

SFTP to ADP file size error

Has anyone received an error trying to set up an SFTP connection with ADP? It seems to be finding the file OK (we get a different error message if we put a non existent file) but is generating this error in Pigment: “Error while uploading the file. Cannot get the size of '/fromADP/xxxxxxxx.csv'" I’m not sure if it’s a permissions issue or something else.

Adding notes to Forecasts

I want to be able to make specific notes about forecasted line items to document the rationale for the forecast.  This would be particularly useful for when a default forecast calculation is overridden to be able to have documentation.  Comments don’t seem to be a viable solution for this, as the comment can only be made on a cell within a grid, and if that cell is no longer visible in the view, (i.e. the switchover date changes and the forecast is hidden and replaced with actuals), it’s not there for anyone updating the forecast to see. I also dislike that comments are permanent and cannot be removed. Has anyone come up with a solution for this that they would be willing to share?

Column Calculation based on Year Variable

I have below metric for selecting the last month of the year.I’m using it as a dynamic variable for Month dimension.I want to use it for YoY% (“Selected Year” vs. Previous Year) headcount variance. But it doesn’t work. How do I make this work? Or, how do I make a similar logic to calculate it for the Year (property of Month) selected from the Pages (being dynamic)?Currently, I’m calculating it for a specific Year (unlinked from the Pages in the main board) like below. P.S. The variable works well in Filter.

Netsuite / Pigment Sync - Planning for future departments

Our current approach uses a formula that pulls department data from a NetSuite Actuals saved search. It looks up the department code and returns the department name if it is in the actuals report. However, for new departments that don’t yet have transactions, the lookup fails—defaulting to “No Department”—even though the department code and name already technically exist in NetSuite.While we can hardcode logic (e.g., map department 239 to a specific name), this isn’t scalable. From what I understand, we can’t create a transaction list that syncs directly to the full NetSuite department list, since that’s not a saved search.One workaround we’ve considered is exporting the department list manually from NetSuite into a Google Sheet and syncing that, but we’re hoping there’s a cleaner solution.How do others or Pigment typically handle this situation when planning for future departments without actuals? IF(ISDEFINED('NetSuite PL Actuals'.Department [by lastnonblank: 'NetSuite PL Actuals'.'N

Use Dimension Properties

Hello Everyone,  I have a dimension which is called Supervisory Org which is the Workday hierarchy. In that dimension, I have properties called Level2, Level3, Level 4 etc. which is basically the hierarchy chain.  I am seeing help to develop a logic as to if I select select someones name, I should get everyone rolling up to that person and not only the direct repartees. Not sure if anyone has faced this before. Any help will be appreciated.

Perform an XLookup Equivalent in Transaction list

I have a transaction list with a roster from each month taken on the last day of the month. Sometimes HR would make retroactive changes after the load is done. For example, HR may input a term date on July 1 for someone who terminated June 30. The term date now shows up in the July roster but is missing from June roster. I want to somehow flag that the June roster is MISSING this term date. In the image, Vincent’s term date was captured in July because the term info was processed AFTER the June date was imported. Vincent should have a June term date in the June snapshot, but it is missing instead. In Excel, I could do this:=XLOOKUP(“Snaphot Month”, “Test1 (Term Month)”, “Name”, “Name”, “Term1 (Term Month))This essentially looks up the the employee’s Term month using the snapshot month that is = to the term month (in “Test1”). The result here for Vincent would be blank since there is NO Term month Vincent’s June data. The end goal would to find these discrepancies so that I can go and f

Build a 12-month actuals baseline using the latest available month values

 Hi Pigment Community 👋,I’m working with a table that contains monthly revenue data across several years. My goal is to build a logic that, for each month, returns the latest available revenue value for that specific month, even if it comes from a previous year.🎯 ObjectiveFor each Month (e.g. Jan, Feb, … Dec), I want to retrieve the most recent actual revenue that is available for that calendar month, regardless of the year.Example:Month Latest Revenue Mar Mar 2025 Apr Apr 2025 ... ... Sep Sep 2024 Oct Oct 2024 Nov Nov 2024 Dec Dec 2024 Jan Jan 2025 Feb Feb 2025  So in September 2025, for example, the latest available revenue for September would still be September 2024, if no more recent actual exists for September 2025 yet. 📈 Why I'm doing thisI want to build a metric that compares Budget vs Actuals across future years, but always using the latest 12 months of actual revenue as the baseline.That means I need a view where, for each calendar month, I can

Sorting Filter Options in Pigment

Does anyone know if I can sort the items in a filter so that my cost centers (or GL account) shows in ascending order? I created a filter for cost center currently but all the available items are listed randomly, I tried sorting the dimension list in ascending order but it doesn’t reflect properly when I use the selectors. Thank you!

Multi block circular reference

Hi everybody,I am looking for a way to implement a form of circular referencing across multiple blocks. Essentially, I am trying to create a feedback loop like below: This is a snip of an OPEX forecasting model. I want to give the end users the possibility to use the output of a certain forecasting version as the input for a new forecast. That means that users can say: prefill my new forecast with the figures from any of the previous forecasts. I don't think that PREVIOUSBASE() or PREVIOUS() can work, because if I'm not mistaken that only takes the previous value from the iteration dimension. But I want the users to be flexible to choose whatever forecast they want as the base for their new forecast.How can I best go about this? Bas

Cumulate by Qtés

Hello community,I'm looking for a cumulate grouped by Qty. I have a first metric which indicates my need of Qtés per week, and I need a second metric able to detect the week when I exceed the minimum to order. In my example, I have a minimum order of 6. In Line 1 I calculate my requirement per week. (that's done)In Line 2 I want to trigger an order when I've reached at least my minimum order.If I have that, it's already good In an ideal world, I'd have to reduce this quantity to the 1st week, a bit like a moving sum function but with variable parameters. If anyone has an algo idea, I'd be grateful ^^.
