 I have a Date Type metric dimensioned by Project and Month. The “Project” Dimension has an Integer Property of “Relative Completion Day”. Number of Days can be positive or negative.I am attempting to calculate a date based on adding “Relative Completion Day” property to the First Workday of the Next Month (M-F). Below is an Example of how it would Ideally Work.What would be the best formula for this? I have also screenshotted my Day dimension. Project Dimension: Calculated Date: (2/3/2025 + (-3) = 1/29/2025) ; 2/3/2025 is the first workday of February - 3 workdays before that.   Day Dimension:

I am trying to calculate the number of working days in a month using the NETWORKDAYS function but it simply returning the number of days in the month. Am I using this incorrectly?  

Hello All,I currently need a bit of help with allocations. I want to create a rent schedule where the yearly rent amount needs to be allocated based on the yearly contract (start and end date). Just to clarify, one store code can repeat multiple times due to different contract years. Rent type is just used to differentiate between office and stores. 

Hi, I have an issue regarding the behaviour of the new expand/collapse columns feature.When I have a summary set to the dimension I want to collapse (Month>Year : LAST for example). If I collapse this dimension the Total column remains empty while it is well displayed when expanded.Do you know why and how to solve this? Thank you  

Hi everyone,I have a dataset with seasonality percentages for different distributors. However, not all distributors have seasonality data for every month, and the available months vary per distributor.Problem:Distributor A has seasonality from January to September 2024. Distributor B has seasonality from January to May 2024. Other distributors have different availability patterns. From October 2024 onward, I need to forecast seasonality using the last October seasonality per distributor.To solve this, I wanted to create a matrix where:Rows = Distributors Columns = Months (January – December, ignoring the year) Each cell = The most recent available seasonality value for that month, from the same month in a previous year

Hello everybody,I'm quite new to the community, but I hope you guys can help me with the following. I have a metric that contains budget figures for 2025, dimensioned by stores. However, some stores do not have full year data, but only for half of 2025 (since they will open in June or July and thus they don't have budget data before that). I want to create a metric that calculates the full year effect. So in effect I want to replace months with blank values with the averages of the months that do have data. How can I best go about this?Thanks in advance for your help or for pointing me in the right direction!Best, Bas 

Hello Pigment community,Is there a way to ensure that Pigment boards automatically adjust to different screen sizes and aspect ratios, so that grids, charts, and other elements remain properly aligned without gaps or distortion?Thanks!

Hello Pigment Community,I have an interesting question regarding dynamic metric dimensions.Is it possible to modify the dimensions of a metric dynamically based on user input? I understand that we can input values (e.g., Revenue, Cost, etc.) at different hierarchy levels using dependent dropdowns. However, after entering these values, I want all associated calculation metrics to automatically adjust to the selected dimensions.For example:I input data at L2: Country (with parent L1: Region) and L2: Industry (with parent L1: Industry Type and child L3: Sub-Industry). Using dependent dropdowns, users can enter values at the correct hierarchy. I want all relevant calculation metrics to dynamically align with L2: Country and L2: Industry based on the selected input.Can this be achieved in Pigment? If not, wh

Hello,  I am trying to use the Scenario tool and need some help. Goal is to show both “Current” and “AOP” scenarios so I can compare.  Both scenarios are checked “Current” scenario shows as below but “AOP” scenario does not show even when I changed the formula to reference another metric The “AOP” scenario values show when I drop in the AOP metric, but it is in “Current” Scenario (red). Do I need to drop in the AOP metric in the Pivot Metrics? 

I’m looking for a way to calculate a Rolling XNPV in Pigment, but I see that only the standard XNPV function is available.Here’s what I need:The standard XNPV in Pigment calculates the NPV based on all future cash flows from a specific date onward, considering the given discount rate. However, I need to dynamically roll the NPV forward each year, meaning: In 2024, the NPV should only consider cash flows from 2025 onwards. In 2025, the NPV should only consider cash flows from 2026 onwards, and so on. Each year's NPV should exclude

Hello, can you please help with the circular reference?For the “Revenue/Seller”, it needs to reference prior week line and current week WoW% input.I tried using this formula referencing the document here but did not work (used SELECT and PREVIOUS).For the Week 8 result, it should be exact same as Week 7.  IF(Week.'Start Date' <= '[Live] Forecast Start Date','[Live - Weekly] Revenue / Seller Final', '[Live - Weekly] Revenue / Seller Final'[SELECT: Week-1] * '[Live - Weekly] Revenue / Seller Final WoW') Thank you!  

Hi, I have a table which I use to define a marketing channel based on department, account, and vendor. I want to make sure that I do not have duplicated entries for different marketing channels. Basically, that the same combination of department, account, and vendor does not exist. The trick here is that sometimes, there is no vendor or account defined. All four metrics are dimensioned by “line” and a corresponding dimension (line, department / line, account). I was thinking of creating a text metric (mgkchannel_key), which accumulates the combination of department, account, and vendor, and then counting the unique occurrences for each value. For example, for row 19 and 24, I would see another metric with the value 2, everything else would be a 1. (Then creating a boolean and use conditional formatting to highlight duplications).  How can I count the unique values in a metric? The solution I received below did not work since there is not always a defined

I have a Workday load with multiple loads per month and I want to be able to pull into a metric, the individual fields by load date and by scenario. I have two scenarios with one set to Feb 2 and one set to Feb 15, when I test the following logic: EE_Load_Workday_Actuals.Department[by lastnonblank: EE_Load_Workday_Actuals.'Workday Employee', TIMEDIM(EE_Load_Workday_Actuals.'Load Date',Month)][by lastnonblank: timedim('Set_Last Actuals WD Load Date',Month)]  , the metric seems to just pull the lastnonblank literally from the transaction list. I changed and moved a sample in-month change to department for one record and it just took whichever record was physically lower down in the transaction list, rather than the load date.Is there a better way to go about this without the timedim and lastnonblank functions and modifiers? I couldn’t find anything else in the Community and couldn’t think through another approach. If there is a more efficient way to use a date within a modifier

Hello Pigment Community,I’m looking for a way to create, delete, and select hierarchies directly from a board while allowing users to input values at specific levels.Context:We have multiple hierarchical dimensions: Accounts (2 Levels) L1: Account Groups L2: Accounts Geography (3 Levels, Parent of Accounts) L1: Region L2: Country L3: Area Organization (2 Levels, Parent of Geography) L1: Organization_1 L2: Organization_1.1 Use Case:Users have revenue data and he wants to input data at this level:L1: Organization_1 L2: Coun

Is it possible to trigger an import from Netsuite, Amazon S3 or Salesforce using Pigment’s API?So in this case we don’t want to send the data in the request body, we just like to trigger an existing import using the API instead of having the import to run on a schedule. Just want to confirm if this is supported or not, can’t really tell by reading the documentation here:  

I have created a board in an application that includes all the necessary dashboards and tables. However, I do not want to grant access to the entire application for all users in the organization. Instead, I plan to create separate applications for each department and replicate the board within each of these applications, sharing it only with the respective department heads. Could you advise if there is a way to duplicate or copy a board to a different application?

I have inherited an application and am trying to clean up some items that I don’t believe are in use.  I have a variable that I cannot trace where it is being used (if being used at all).  Is there a way where I can see usage similarly how you can for a block?  I suspect this is not being used as a filter in a board but I want to check before removing it.  Thank you! 

Is there any way to remove a dimension without impacting manual inputs on metrics?  We built our application with nearly every metric using a “version” dimension in order to do budget v forecast and various other scenario planning. With the introduction of scenarios & snapshots, we no longer need to have this additional dimension on every metric.  If, for example, I removed all values on the version dimension list except for our forecast which we use to house all of our manual inputs, could I remove the version dimension and have those values be retained on all of the metrics that leveraged the version dimension? If not, is the only solution to re-input every manual input & manual override across every metric that used that dimension?

Hi Folks, struggling with an issue here. I have HC by dept over time. What I’m trying to do is take the last month of actuals, in this case December. In the example below, its 805. However, when I remove lastnonblank month, the amount jumps to 917. What I noticed when I drill into the 917 is that while month is taking the last month, the other dimensions are being flattened so counts are duplicating where things have changed over time. How do I take the lastnonblank of the other dimensions as well?

Is there a function where the sidebar remains hidden but expands when you hover over it without having to double click to expand?

When you apply a filter to a board you can see that the url is updated to include the current filter. The problem is just that the url only includes a GUID. Is there any way to find these guids in Pigment? For example when filtering on a specific employee in my employee dimension I can see that []=df7ce50d-304b-472e-a8e0-f448d960e8de is added to the url, and I would expect that each employee is related to a unique guid, so question is just how to get from dimension value to a guid. My use case is that I am having a grid view with a list of employees. For each employee I would like to link to another board with details about each employee and I would like this board to automatically be prefiltered based on which row I clicked on the first board. 

I’m running into an issue with the dates getting mixed-up when I load data from Pigment to google sheets (see the formula bar in the screenshot, the date ). The issue is that the title which is a text field appears as the header, and gets translated to a date incorrectly. I tried switching the header in Pigment, but the start/end date fields aren’t listed as options. Did anyone else encounter this? Any suggested solutions? 

Hello Pigment Community,I need help converting dimension-type metrics into text and concatenating them into another metric.For example, in the screenshot I provided, I want the "Concat" metric for Row A to display "Asste1Con1".How can I achieve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!  

Hi, we have users that work on multiple boards at the same time that share common pages selectors.The challenge here is that when we switch from one dimension element to another on the page selector in one tab, we need to go through each other tab to adjust the page to the newly selected element. As people here work with like 10 tabs in parallel, that s a lot of clicks to update boards and have them being synced.Do you people encounter those kind of usage / challenge ?Are there ways to make this work in pigment and how if you experimented it ?I was thinking maybe using a custom user defined variable ?

Hello, I have created a calculated item cumulating totals by week for a month. I would like to show the cumulative total of each week on a chart, without showing that week’s individual total. In the example below, I would like to remove the lighter blue “Jan 25” value, and keep the calculated item - the cumulative total by week. Is there a way I can do this?  Thank you!
