Org Chart Hierarchy setup

Hello!I am trying to build an org chart for my company. Most part is good to go, but I noticed that the “Position <> Manager” metric for Reporting seems to confuse the overall structure at the end. When looking at below snapshot, I clicked the ‘Strategic Finance’ team and employee A” is our CFO. My goal is to show “B” and “C” employees underneath “A” employee only because this flow is for the “Strategic Finance” department, However, it’s showing +6 who are NOT part of “Strategic Finance” department. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!!

Google Sheets Connector & Data imported not matching format or filters set in saved view

When building & refreshing an existing connection to Pigment, the view I have saved does not pull through to google sheets in the format that I saved the view. It also does not pull through all the page filters that I have, specifically the years page filter.This causes the whole import to pull through for all existing years for all scenarios that I am pulling in. It also pulls through all data rows even if there is no underlying data. For example I am pulling a full P&L and instead of pulling through just the Revenue Accounts for Account L1 Net Revenue it also pulls through every Opex, CoR, etc. account L0. This causes a ton of extra useless empty rows in our google sheet. This is a lot to scroll past & causes noise in our workbooks. Is there a better workaround here? Right now I have one tab just for the Pigment connection & then have to manipulate the data on another tab to get the format cleaned up.

reducing values in a droplist | transaction lists

Hello community, I’m creating a transaction list to be inputted manually by an end user.How can I have a reduce list for a certain dimension?eg: in a country dimension with all countries, the list available needs to be only the European countries. As a workaround I’m creating extra lists to have these sub-lists. But it will not be a very clean strategy in the end. Does anyone have another way to overcome this?Thank youSofia

Creating an Identity Matrix

I have a dimension that is a number (30 Day Cohort). I think I will need an identity matrix for some calculations later in my model. Is it possible to create a metric that has the 30 Day Cohort x 30 Day Cohort? Here is a simple example of what it would theoretically look like.I have tried playing around with the Value function to convert to numbers and do some sort of comparison to the dimension but it doesn’t return what I would like:IF(VALUE('30 Day Cohort'.Name)<VALUE('30 Day Cohort'.Name),0,1)[BY SUM: '30 Day Cohort']Any ideas or things to try would be much appreciated. At the end of the day, the 1s in the matrix will eventually be values calculated from other metrics but I think I need this matrix to do those calculations. But then again I may not given Pigment’s various functions and how it handles dimensions. So any and all ideas are welcomed :) Thank you in advance!

How to replicate the MAXIF Excel function

I have a metric that has two dimensions that have pasted values from another source. What I would like to do is return the last month that there is a value > 0 for a specific row in the metric. In Excel terms, this would be done with a MAXIF function where I would return the max month with the condition that “Net Installs” is > 0. From the screenshot below I want to return the month dimension value of Dec 24Can this be accomplished using just the BY modifier and the MAX aggregation method? Any insights are very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Aggregation from Month to Quarter > Seasonality in quarter assumption > Distribution back to Month

Hey team, I have an issue to chose the proper modifiers in one of the metric blocks. I have a quota values by month by sales rep and wanted to sum these values into the quarters as a first step. So I’m writing a formula= Metric block with quotas by month [by sum: Month.Quarter]Next step is to use in quarter seasonality which is by Month, see the screenshot below. Total for a quarter is 100%. What’s the syntax to spread quarterly quota value to months ( I was testing add constant but it didn’t work) and then use the in quarter seasonality?

Multiple Break down levels

Hi,What’s the criteria to have a another level of breakdown?I was able to have two levels of break down for one of the metric but for the boxed one “R&D SAAS Total” another level of break down doesn’t show up even though the dimensions are all different for each level that I wanted to select. Can anyone share what is the rule/condition to be followed for such multiple level of break down in a table?Thank you!

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

Adding mapping properties in the other app for existing dimension

Hey Team, I have a transaction list with all employees in the Workforce planning and in the same application we created the Employee ID with various properties mapped to this dimension like country, department etc. I would say classic Employee ID dimension block with a mapping. Now we have a need to add additional dimension property at the Employee Id level for a respective department which can be added manually employee by employee by the other team who makes the allocation of sales forces in the other application i.e. it’s not a Workforce app. What type of block we should create to have a kind of a table where we have a list of employees and then column with the list of properties for the allocation?PS. We don’t want to do it at the transaction list level due to security and also this infotramtion will never be available in our HR system to import it. Thanks!
