Copying Saved Views from Metrics to Tables

Several times I’ve run into this… I think I can solve my problem by just manipulating a new view of a metric. Then I realize I need to combine several metrics. When I finally create a table I have to completely recreate the filters, summing, and pivoting in a table. Is there a way to duplicate a view in a metric into a newly created table? This would be very helpful!

Issues with time aggregations

I have a board with year as a filter on top of the board and it is possible to select multiple years in this filter. On my board I also have a KPI that should show outgoing HC for the last month based on the selected years. When I look at my data with Years on the rows it looks like the picture below when I use “Last” as time aggregator.However when I remove years from the rows all values are blank. If I change the time aggregator to “Last Non Blank” it shows me values, but the problem is that “Last Non Blank” doesn’t always give me the values for dec in the last year, it returns the cells shown in the second picture below. It feels like a bug that the cells are blank when using “Last” as aggregator in this case or am I doing something wrong?

The Case for a Native Athena AWS-Pigment Connector

In our organization, we use S3 to store data as parquet files and work with Athena AWS. Currently, with Pigment's import mechanism based solely on integrated CSV files, we are compelled to establish a process that converts our parquet files into CSV. This isn't a favored method by our (BD&D) Team, to say the least. I can also elaborate on the pros of using the native connector to Athena AWS:Improved Efficiency: A native connector eliminates the need to convert parquet files to CSV for import into Pigment. This can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on file conversion, leading to improved efficiency in data operations. Enhanced Data Quality: Using a native connector can reduce the potential for data errors or loss that might occur during the file conversion process. Streamlined Process: Integration with Athena AWS via a native connector simplifies the data workflow, making getting data from S3 storage into Pigment easier and quicker. Increased Flexibility: A native co

Allocate Product Groups down to Product level by % Mix

Hi - I’m new to Pigment having spent many years working with TM1 and am struggling with some of the new concepts and methods ! - Trying to find a way to allocate multiple Product Groups down to the Product level. I have the product mix % by Product Group but can’t find a way to only multiply the mix within each Product Group. In simple terms its:-IF (Product.Group (property of Product) = Product Group (Dimension) THEN Product Group* % Mix of Product in that Product Group.I was able to get it to work if I hard coded one Product Group (Type) but can’t find way to make dynamic on all product groups. Sales_By_Product_Group [Select: '02a.Product Type'.Type = "Barbecue"]*IF('02.Product'.Type = "Barbecue",'02.Product'.'% of Product Group Sales',0)In short is there a way to replace “Barbecue” so it iterates through all the Product Groups (Types) ? Thank you all !

Connector: Gsheet with Pigment

Bonjour, Je voudrais savoir si ce serait possible lors d’un extract de Pigment à Google sheet via le connector de ne pas avoir des lignes vides? Ex: Lors d’un extract avec le connector, j’ai 30.000 lignes et sur ses 30.000 lignes j’ai 10.000 lignes utilent et qui contiennent des valeurs. Cela alourdi énormément les fichiers de travail.Dans les tables (extracts) dans Pigment, il y a une possibilité de filtrer et de mettre (Hide empty rows and columns). Ceci empêche d’avoir des milliers de lignes vides pas utiles.Dans l’attente d’un retour, veuillez passer une belle journée :).Cordialement.TEGUA Jessica.

Using Scenarios in Formula

Hello Everyone, I am working on a headcount report where in I have Actuals and Budget along with the variance. Now I want to reference scenarios in the formulas somehow to create a metric to use this logic: If Actuals is blank and Budget is there, it means that that seat is not filled yet. Is there anyway to do it?

Build BP from growth assumptions

I’m trying to start making hypotheses for next year's BP based on percentage growth.I started with Revenue but I find myself with the following problem that I am not able to solve.I simply want to formulate that the Revenue, for example, of January 2024 is that of January of the previous year * % growth. This % I have entered into a metric that I have created where I have put a % growth for each month of the year 24. However, I do not want the Revenue metrics already established in Pigment to vary or be modified, since they are the ones that give us our Revenue figures for different versions (actuals, forecast, target, etc.).Basically, what I want is to filter the information to which I want this % of growth to be applied, which in this case is only for the year 2024

Aggregate vs. Import for Parent/Child Dimension Relationship

We have two dimensions that have a parent/child relationship - L0 Company and L1 Parent Company.

Picking a dimension property dependently on scenario

Hi Pigment Experts, I have the following challenge. I have two properties in a an Employee dimension list (Department_Apr and Department_Mar). Employees may move between departments and these properties are reflecting that. Then I have a metric by Employee which I want to pivot by Department. I use the formula below and it works well. My question is is there a way to write formula so the metrics is either by Department_Apr or Department_May dependently on a Scenario i.e. dependently on input to another metric? The way it works now is that Department_Apr or Deparment_Mar are hardcoded but how to make these values a variable? if('Is Forecast (Headcount)', '361. Total Headcount Cost - A+F') [remove: '01.

Top Decliners / Top Growth

Hello,I have this Table with 2 differents metrics (volumes L3M and volumes L6M to L3M) with Var and Var (%) as duplicates of volumes L3M. I analyze it month by month (basically the last month). I would like to have 1 view with top Decliners on the current month (automatically done each month), i.e the doctors who have the worst Var (%) (top 20) In another view I would like exactly the same but the best Var (%) (top 20).It seems impossible to do it with table view… Can you help me please ?
