I want a table that has costs actual ytd, costs budgeted ytd, costs ytd variance, costs full year budget, and costs YTG (i.e. total year budget less actuals YTD).However, my budget is captured as a scenario snapshot. Is this possible?

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well ! I have a question regarding displaying properties in Pigment. In my model, every dimension has both a Name and a Display Name property. When I place a dimension on a row or a column, I can choose to show either the code (name) or the Display Name by using the “Update header labels” feature, which works perfectly.  However, this feature does not exist when a dimension is used as a Page Filter. As soon as the dimension is placed in Pages, the option to display Display Name disappears.As far as I can see, the only current workaround would be to modify the dimension so the Display Name becomes the Name which

Is Pigment capable of handling two billion records?

Dears, I have been getting this error recently when I perform divisions on Pigment. I understand division by 0 or blank can give NA, that is why I use an IF in the formula to make sure we do not computate those values. Thank you very much in advance!Jose

Hi!Can someone please help me to find the vendor names from the description of a transaction from a list of vendor list that I already have?Right now, with the help of ITEM function its able to only recognize if the description has only the full vendor name from the list. But I want to populate vendor names by finding the vendor names in the description among other extra texts as well.For example,if my Description is “Amazon.com” ITEM function is able to recognize the vendor name and populate Amazon.com from the list that I have as a dimension. if the description is “Orders from Amazon.com”, its not able to find “Amazon.com” among the other texts in the description.So I’m looking for a way to find these vendor names from the description which has other text apart from the vendor name and populate it.Thank you!

Hello,I have a transaction list per customer_id with information regarding sales_team. However some clients are not properly mapped and do not have any data inside the “sales_team” column.When i retrieve the data from this transaction list via [BY : sales_team] i lose all clients that are missing the info.How could i include in my formula a way to have all customers not mapped under “blank” sales team ? I could add a formula directly into my transaction list but as i do have 6M lines i’m afraid it’ll trigger performance issue. Thanks in advance

Hi,Can someone please tell me about the best practice for Data Cloning in metrics from one version to another such that even data which is the result of a formula gets cloned when new version is added? This is my find with regards to data cloning:1) In formula driven metrics with manual override on, only manual inputs get cloned. Data resulting from formula does not get cloned.

Hey!I wanted to check if there are any plans to introduce a feature that allows aggregation by formula. Currently, we can aggregate metrics using options like sum or average, but what if we want to display the value calculated by a formula at all levels of the hierarchy? I’ve seen some previous workarounds in the community, such as displaying the metric as a percentage value, but I’m curious if this functionality is expected in the near future.Thanks! :)

Hi,Is there a way to create a master button to import data in mutiple metrics at the same time instead on having to click 20 times (20 metrics) on each import data button ? Thanks for your help

Hi Team,I’m trying to configure user access in so that certain metric values are hidden for specific users, while the table structure (rows and columns) remains visible.For example, as shown in the screenshot, I want users to see the list of Countries, along with Cost and Gross Margin numbers — but the Revenue values should be completely hidden for them. Essentially, the user should still be able to see the row and column headers, just not the restricted metric data.I tried setting up Data Access Rights based on Roles, but it either hides the entire row or still shows the Revenue numbers.Has anyone implemented this type of partial metric-level masking? What is the best way to achieve this?Thanks in advance! 

Will boolean TRUE persist after formula condition which uses ISDEFINED is met even if the data which meets the True condition is removed?

I need help fixing a mission for a variance analysis agent.  I am attempting to make it as dynamic as possible, so I am using a variable called @CurrentMonth which is a calculated metric that pulls the most current month we have transaction data into all my scenarios.   The calculated value for the @CurrentMonth variable for my @Actuals scenario is “0ct 25”.  I have another scenario called “Working Forecast” that has a calculated value of “May 25”.When I run this AI agent, no matter how I write the instructions, it uses the value of “May 25” which is nowhere in the instructions, not even implicity.The only way this works is if I change the variable for @CurrentMonth to be hard coded as “Oct 25”.What am I doing wrong? How would you change it?Mission instructions below,Analyze @Revenue and @Operating Expenses metrics, filtering for: Reporting Time = "M

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on the TrainingPro and I’m struggling to understand how to add a selector to my Board.My Board only contains a TransactionList, and as far as I know you can’t add a page selector inside a TransactionList that would show up as a selector in the Board. Is there a way to create a standalone selector in the Board, or do I need to add another widget just to generate a page selector? Thanks for your help!

In Pigment, we can display the history of a metric (e.g., a cell change by dimension intersection, inserted value). I’d like to know if there is an API that can return this data

Hi,Is there a way to query Snapshot Metadata via API? As I understand every snapshot of an application is a separate application, but when I retrieve Metadata using this post by ​@DamianAtPigment I only get live applications. In API docs I don’t see that I can configure Snapshot or Live, but maybe I’m missing something.Why you might ask? I would like to automatically extract data from the same metric via API, but from different snapshots to show and monitor historic changes. I know that I will have to use text comparison to extract the metric by name, but that’s ok.Thanks!

Hi! How would I calculate the average of all instances of X day of month? I have a metric with $X by day, and want to return the average of all 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. of the months. Preferably rolling so if my calendar starts in 2024 then Oct 15th 2025 would return ((Oct 14th’24 + Oct 14th’25) / 2).Thank you!

We are experiencing that if we save a copy of a Google Sheet with Pigment Connector connections, we lose the connections in the copied sheet.  We just want to double-check if there's a way to maintain connections in a copied sheet or is it perhaps on the radar to be supported in the future?  Thank you!

https://kb.pigment.com/docs/naming-convention-for-pigmentI believe readability is key when working with formulas in Pigment. I have a few recommendations for the naming conventions1.) the prefixes should be in lowercase. UPPER case draws your eye to the prefix and that isn’t the key to the metric; it’s a supporting detail. I believe CALC_Gross Margin highlights the calc more than the Gross MarginCALC_Gross Marginvs.calc_Gross Margin 2.) the prefix SET is misleading.If you step away from writing formulas for a while (a few weeks) and then come back, you have to remember SET is a setting and it isn’t an imperative /command. For instance SET_Load Actuals to me sounds like you want to change something. I

I love the concept of the Prettify Formula, but I don’t love the logic it uses. Having spent a bit of my earlier career in software development, I realized a few things that made my code more readable.When doing if logic, I want the comma separating the logic test and true result placed on a new ling and indented to just past the opening “(“. I do this so I can easily trace where logic changes happen.. and it is a little easier to comment things out or copy/paste into the formula playground for testing.if(Month.’Period Type’ = ‘Period Type’.”Actual”   , Data.Amount

Hello everyone,I have created a Clone data in metrics set up on my application settings but when I go to the board to add the action button the Clone data in Metrics form does not appear to let me choose what i want to copy and where..Basically i can only use one preset configuration into the app settings. Am I loosing a step? I also see in the documentation that is clearly possibile but I can’t manage to set it up;Thanks in advance, community, for your help! :) 

Hi We have a scenario where we need to get Grouping data from members management into Users dimensional list.We did grouping based on different roles and permission and We need to get this grouping data based on each user in the members management into User dimensional property.Do we have any option to achieve this? 

From Dimension B, How can I look up a property from Dimension A based on a Dimension A property which is in Dimension B? MS-Copilot told me to use Lookup (), which works in Anaplan but I cannot find Lookup in Pigment functions.  Thank you.
