HiI have a target metric containing a subset. This dimension is a subset of a list present in a source metric. When I reference the source metric the data does not allocate over the subset list items as I would expect. Do I need to map the complete list into the subset? Instinctively this seems irrelevant as they are effectively the same list so dimensionality is comparable. This is my source metric - This is my target metric - PL3_Overheads is a subset of PL3
I am trying to export pigment data to PowerBI following the guided steps available on community, but I get an error “404 id not found”. Does anyone know what I could be missing in the setup? I used payload functionality to generate ID for metrics.
I have set up a table with a few metrics in with either of the following two setups:1) Dimensioned by Company and Department2) Dimensions by EmployeeThe employee dimension has properties using the Company and Department dimensions.In my table i can either add the direct Company and Department dimensions to my pages or the mapped versions from Employee.However, if I select the direct dimensions in the Pages, the Employee metric (2) doesn’t filter properly. And the same happens to metric (1) dimensioned by company and department if I select the mapped dimensions in the pages.How can i get it so that my table filters both properly?
Introduction:Hello Pigmenteers! I’m Bas van der Laan (@Bas in the community), and I have been working at HEMA for almost three years now. HEMA is a Dutch retail organization, mainly based in the Netherlands, with a presence in Belgium and France.

Hi Is there a way to Create Automated task which deletes user inputs in bulk when trigger is met. I’d like to set it up in a way, than when Month becomes from Forecast to Actual, it would delete the new Actual month user inputs which were so far meant for Forecast, but Actual month value should come from formula. I know how to set up task to notify, once this month changes and also how to set up one-time bulk deletion, when Month becomes Actual, but is there a possibility to combine these to so I could stop being middle-man? Best regardsOtt
Hi everybody, Could someone help me understand why the “type fees” dimension was not updated, even though I selected “delete all items” for my transaction during the load from the Azure SQL table?Many thanks,

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!

Merging Text & Date Dimensions Question - @Matthieu Wallet:“How can you merge a Text dimension and a Date dimension into a single Text dimension to create a unique ID?” Best Answer - @Laszlo:Pigment doesn’t support directly concatenating dimensions into a new dimension. The recommended approach is to: Add ID properties to both source dimensions and the target dimension. Generate IDs using CUMULATE(). Pre-create placeholder items in the target dimension. Use a formula that combines the text value and formatted date, then assigns the result using ID mapping. This approach e

Hello All, I’m currently trying to build a budget for the next year and running into issues on how to lock data down.Example: Set up a budget for FY26Current Date: 12/19/25Current Month = Dec 2025Latest Actual Month (Switchover Month) = Nov 2025OpEx Planning: I will set the switchover month as Nov 2025, so the data is locked down already.Headcount Planning: Our headcount roster is being loaded on a daily basis and overwritten until the last day of each month so our most up to date data is 12/19/25.Let’s say I want to say today is the day I want my budget to be set and won’t change after 12/19/25. I can create a scenario based on my current scenario which locks down the data for OpEx but my headcount data will essentially be still moving because by tomorrow, it would be using a new transaction list on 12/20/25.I’ve thought of few proposals to resolve this issue but each has its own flaws so I would like to know the best practice to lock down the data.Proposal 1: Use Headcount data as of
Hi everyone,I duplicated Applications in order to test some new Pigment functionnalities without impacting Live Applications.There are 3 apps which are linked together (Shared metrics) Tests are over ; I’d like to delete those Apps, but Pigment show this message :“Cannot delete application: some of the shared objects are still referenced by other applications.”We have around 200 Shared Blocks !Must we delete each Shared Block before Pigment allow us to delete the whole App ? Thanks for your support !RegardsMatthieu

Hi everyone, I have two questions regarding input configuration in Pigments. 1. Conditional input depending on the versionWhen I enable data input in the metric settings (by checking “Allow overriding formula result with an input”), the input becomes available for all cells.However, I would like to enable input only for specific periods depending on the selected version.For example, for the Forecast Q2 version, the cells should be editable only from Q2, while Q1 should remain read-only because it contains actuals.Is there a way to restrict input to specific periods depending on the version? 2. Input at an aggregated levelI’ve noticed that when I select data at an aggregated level (for example, “All countries”), input is automatically disabled and the cells become read-only, which is expected. However, from my experience, some clients could request the ability to enter data at the aggregated level.Is there any possibility to enable input at aggregated levels, or is this not supported in
Hi - do model snapshots factor in Access Rights? In other words, if a user takes a snapshot but does not have full access, will the snapshot only include the data they have access to or will it still snapshot the entire model?
I accidentally deleted a snapshot, is there a way to restore it ?Thanks

Joining two Transaction lists into one Best Practices Question - @Sandy B:“I have two transaction lists from different sources that I’d like to combine using a common ‘Reference Number’ field. What’s the best practice for merging them?” Best Answer - @AhmedBennis:Pigment cannot directly combine two transaction lists. The recommended approach is to merge both datasets at the source before loading them into Pigment so you maintain a single, clean, and consistent transaction list.If merging at the source isn’t feasible, you can also use List-to-List imports to feed one unified transact
