Modifiers not applying as expected

Hello! I’m attempting to aggregate my metrics into a full P&L with actual and forecast views. I have data coming from a Shared_IS_Actuals dimension, several Revenue and COGS dimensions already mapped, a Shared_WF_Plan dimension, and a Shared_Opex_Plan dimension. I’ve been able thus far to successfully have Actuals for all IS accounts pull in, and have Revenue, COGS, and WF (payroll, benefits, taxes) appear in a single metric. However, when I try to add my Shared_Opex_Plan data using the formula below, my Actuals stay, my revenue and cogs disappear, my WF_Plan stays, and my Opex_Plan disappears, leaving me with only the WF_Plan. It’s like the first by modifier to map the WF_Plan to the CoA is applying to everything? What am I missing?

Hi everyone!I am trying to add a conditional formatting in my headcount metric in order to highlight when the number of employees increases or decreases from month to month.

YTD Calculations Wrong when Showing Values as %

Hello Community, I am struggling with YTD summaries for %-values. In image 1 I have lines for Revenue and Costs and then I have added metric “Costs” for a second time and I am showing the value as % of Revenue. Image 1When I add YTD calculations (Image 2), I have an issue that also the “% of Revenue (Costs)” seems to be cumulating when in fact it should be always calculated as Costs/Revenue. This means that for February YTD (ACT) shows -2.20 % (= -1.30 % + -0.90 %) instead of the calculated values, which should be -1.11 % (= -4 664 / 419 306). Image 2Is it possible to keep the YTD calculations for other metrics, but use a “formula”-calculation for the %-metrics? In case it is any help, here is also a image of how I have pivoted the data.

Change formatting of all rows in tables

In a table, the row headings (the pivoted fields that you can view either in Tabular or Tree layout) are by default formatted with dark grey font on a light grey background. But if I want it to make it *pop* I can’t think of other way than to go row-by-row and go through the menu:Is there a better way?

Dynamic selection of time period and aggregating data based on that.

Hello Pigment Community,I want to dynamically aggregate my data based on the selected time period—whether by month, quarter, or year—using a Boolean metric.Expected Behavior:If Month is selected (TRUE), the data should display only monthly values. If Quarter is selected (TRUE), the data should aggregate and display only quarterly totals. If Year is selected (TRUE), the data should aggregate at only the yearly level.How can I achieve this functionality efficiently? Any guidance would be appreciated!Thanks in advance! 😊

Auto calculated switchover dates

Hi Pigment Community,we have a use case in a project where we need to combine 2 special cases in the area of Switchover dates. We have multiple switchover dates for multiple data sources, as some supplier report only monthly and some other quarterly. So we need our Forecast calculation to start at different months for different data. We want to auto calculate the switchover date, by the last available data in the Actuals data set. I haven’t found a solution on how to automatically calculate the last Actuals month. For 1. I just created a multiple dimension metric with switchover dates for all data layers, which works fine for manually setting the month for the switchover dates.I then created second metric to calculate the last month with Actual data and this formula gives me the output for the last available month:'ACT_REV_Euro (in k)' [REMOVE LASTNONBLANK: Month] However, I was not able to transform or extract the Month value from the metric. Any formula like “MONTH()” or “TIMEDIM()”

Impact of Data Import Modifications on Pigment

Hi,I have a transaction list where data is imported daily from NetSuite into Pigment.Some modifications will be made to the NetSuite search where the data comes from, including the addition of new columns.I’m am not sure how this change will impact the import process in Pigment?Additionally, when I go to Import Data → Set Up Import, the data mapping does not open—it just keeps loading indefinitely. Does it mean I will have to recreate an import from scratch?Thanks in advance for your guidance!Best regards,

Pigment AI

Tried enabling pigment AI but when I ask a simple question like “What’s the revenue in 2024?”, it is giving me a total Revenue that isn’t filtered, i.e. before drilling into FX25 or 24, Live & Stage version combined, 0+12 to 12+0 versions combined?

Comparison of different scenarios

We’ve created two scenarios for the BP on 24: Target and BudgetThese two scenarios are items belonging to the dimension “Version”.In the attached table, we want to add two new comparative columns, one being "Target bp 24/FY23" and the other "Budget bp 24/FY23". However, it does not allow us to add this calculated item because we cannot compare different dimensions (version and year).How can we do this comparison? it is crucial to be able to compare as many scenarios as we want with the previous year's figures

How to do Unique Count?

Hello Everyone. I am a beginner in Pigment and I am trying to replicate my excel model within pigment. My current excel model will take a unique count of my order number (order number replicates due to multiple sku in one order) and mark the order as 1 and the duplicate as 0. Example: (if A2=A1,0,1). This gives me the unique number of orders in my transaction list. I cannot reference a cell directly using the if formula in pigment as compared to excel. Is there a an easier way to do this in pigment?

Add a metric in a dimension list from another source

Hello,I created a new metric named "EmpData-Allocation" (with dimensions "employee" and "month") filtering only the existing employees, that I fill each month manually with a dimension named "allocation". How can I add this metric by employee to the dimension list "employee" ? example :My employee transaction list is an import from Workday. In this transaction list, I have a new employee named “Employee1”.In my dimension list “Employee”, I have all the info for Employee1 coming from this employee transaction list. In the metric "EmpData-Allocation", I put Allocation1 for Employee1. I would like to have this Allocation1 next to Employee1 in the Employee dimension list. Can you please advise ? Thanks

Restricting Input Based on Conditional Formatting in Pigment Metrics

Hello Pigment Community,I hope you're all doing well!I’ve created a table with the following metrics:Month Amount Blended Interest(Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference.)Currently, I have a checker metric set up for conditional formatting, which highlights a month in red if it is greater than the closing period.Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:If a month entered is greater than the closing period, I want the Amount and Blended Interest metrics to become non-editable so users cannot input data in these fields. If a month entered is less than or equal to the closing period, users should be able to input data as usual in these metrics.Could anyone guide me on how to set this up in Pigment? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance! 4o

Changing Data Types of a Metics and Removing the Current Value

I have a metric that includes three dimensions—DimA, DimB, and DimC—along with a corresponding dollar amount for each intersection. I’d like to create a new metric where DimA and DimB remain as dimensions, but DimC becomes the result instead of a dimension for each of the intersections in the first metric. In doing this, I also want to drop the numeric data type and just have it as a dimension data type What would be the best way to achieve this in Pigment?
