Hello Pigment Community,I want to create three buttons :Absolute Value Percentage  Fixed ValueNow, for absolute value button only numerical values can be entered in the metric. For, percentage value button only percentage inputs will be considered and for a fixed value a single value will be entered in each cell of the Topline Metric.(Image attached below)It can be a button or a boolean tick as well.  

Follow the steps if you want to highlight your totals:Select the header cell of the row which you want to highlight/color code Click on “arrow” icon dropdown and “Format” Choose “Cells” tab in the mini dialog box and select “Every Instance of my Selection” in the “Apply To” field Choose the color and Border ; select Apply and now all the totals at each hierarchy are highlighted!

Is there an option to wrap the text of legends in a chart so that it doesn’t get trimmed like the example below?Should be reading “Actuals & Forecast”.  

Ideally in the metrics we could remove 0 metric values if it is ok with the analysis to remove those cells[FILTER: Currentvalue<>0]Also usually we add the “Hide empty rows and columns” - but is there possible to remove those empty cells by formula? Or does it give something regarding performance wise?

HiDoes enabling AI for all boards slow down the performance?There is an option to enable all blocks for AI at a click of a button but when it comes to switching it off, you need to do it one by one, is there an option to switch off AI for for all blocks in one go?

Hello, I am trying to perform a vlookup function where I would like to retrieve a value from a transaction list  and return to a dimension with same number format.  I want to extract the “Weeknum” from Transaction : Calendar Weeks based on unique property Calendar.Date and populate it in under the Week Dimension’s property “Weeknum” based on its unique property Start DateTried ITEM function but i get a lot of data type errors using this formula ,                                            ITEM('Calendar Weeks'.Weeknum,Week.'Start Date')  thanks 

Hi Pigment team, I’m trying to add empty rows into my Table block, so that I can separate some categories of expenses from each other: I tried to create and add empty “Placeholder” Metric, however it requires a name and I can’t simply leave it empty. Is there another way to add such empty rows between items? Best,Dastan 

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

I have a single that needs to essentially aggregate a rolling sum (of that last n months) of another metric. The manual method I have found is:TargetMetric + TargetMetric[SELECT: Month -1] + TargetMetric[SELECT: Month -2](I am incuding the current month in the “last” three months calculation)But if I want to change this to the last 5 months or the last 24 months, I would need to add an n number of selects.How Can I formulaically drive this calculation?

Hello,I want to sort a table by descending or ascending, depends of my metric value.  I don’t succeed. could you help me please ? Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Dear Community,we are currently within our FY24 budgeting process. We have the standard setup with Headcount-App, OpEx-App & Topline App.Topline-App & HC-App are connected with source systems with daily uploads to have a proper reporting in place. OpEx-App is manual input only.  To avoid that managers have to incorporate changes (Forecast & Budget 24) in two Versions we use our Forecast Version only. For Budget Versioning we copy a Forecast Version as Budget Version 2024 VX.We face the challenge, that the imported data will change our Budget Versions VX as well. A first idea was to take snapshots of the application and connect the Version of a snapshot into the Core-Reporting, but not sure if this is possible? Or does anyone have any other idea how to lock the data without stopping the imports? BR,Daniel

I’m trying to deactivate this library:Deactivation is disabled because the “P1 Brand” block is in use... But when I click “view”, it doesn’t show any usage in the application where I’m trying to disable it:Can anyone help with figuring out why the block is showing as used?

Pigment Champs! Could you please help me understand how Pigment is handling DevOps (Or is it still not available)? Is there any Best Practice document on Pigment (Like Planual in Anaplan)?  I see many Pigment sponsored apps have hardcoding in the formula. For Example - As Per Pigment: 1+ INP_YearlySalaryIncrease[BY CONSTANT: Month.Year][FILTER: Month.'Month of Year'= 'Month of Year'."February" ][BY CONSTANT: EE_Data_Stand.Region] I want to write it this way    -  (1+'01. INP Yearly Salary Increase')[BY CONSTANT:Month.Year][FILTER: Month.'Month of Year'= '00. INP Month of Increase'][BY Constant: 'EE Data Stand'.Region], here the inputs can be changed easily and freely. How does Pigment’s engine perform calculations? How many cores does it leverage at the same time? Is there any recommendation about the source data, that it should have a unique key? I understand that transactional dimension does not need one but it means that you would have to delete and reload/refresh the entire transac

Hi,We have a data table on Pigment that we update daily with new data by uploading a CSV file.The CSV contains data from January 1, 2021, and every day the new daily data is added to the file before being uploaded to Pigment.I wanted to know if CSV uploads delete the old data and then completely update everything, or if they only push the new data.For example: If tomorrow the file no longer contains data starting from January 1, 2021, but instead starts from January 1, 2022, will we still retain the 2021 data in our source list in Pigment when I upload this new file, or will it be deleted?If the historical data is deleted, is there a way to push the new data every day without deleting the old one?Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to get a link that I can put on a board to get to the Import Data screen? 

Hello,Can you please tell me how I can make a conditional formatting based on another column? Ex: I have column A & B and I want column A figures to change colors depending of it they are greater or lower than column B figures.Also, how can I center figures in a table on Pigment, if that is possible. Thanks.

Hi All!Is there a way someone can get notified when a change is made automatically?In headcount planning, we want the HR director to be notified when someone has requested a new head. I appreciate there’s the option of writing a comment, but wondered if theres an automatic way?Thanks

Dear Pigment Community,I hope you're doing well!I am currently facing two challenges in my Pigment setup and would greatly appreciate your guidance: Freezing Data Entry for Weekends & Holidays: I would like to restrict data entry for weekends (e.g., 06/01/2024 and 07/01/2024) and holidays (which I will updating in a different dimension) while keeping data entry open for other days. This restriction should apply consistently for all weekends throughout the year. Customizing Date Formats in Column Headers: I want to display the date in the column header in the format: 6th Jan 2024 and 7th Jan 2024 (instead of the default format). This format should be applied consistently across all dates throughout the year. If anyone has suggestions, solutions, or best practices for implementing these features, I would greatly appreciate your input!Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I have the following challenge:Metric 1. simple metric with sales forecast in units with one dimension only MONTH. So let’s say it is Jan: 20; Feb: 30; Mar: 20; Apr: 15 Metric 2. active orders already made e.g. 35 with no dimension at all, just one number.  Now I need to adjust Metric 1 with Metric 2 applying the rule that earlier months are adjusted as first. I.e. adjusted forecast would be: Jan: 0; Feb: 15; Mar: 20; Apr: 15How do I do it in Pigment? Regards,Adam

Hello Pigment Community,I’m currently facing an issue with counting duplicate items in Pigment. As shown in the image below, I’ve successfully extracted words from a sentence. Now, I’d like to conditionally format and highlight repeated words starting from their second occurrence.I understand that using a counter to track how often a word appears is key here, but I’m struggling to come up with the correct formula to achieve this.Could someone kindly guide me on how to proceed? Your help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!  

We have created an income statement where we have one metric for Income and another metric for COGS. Both these metrics is by the dimension Account and in our table we use Account Group and Account on the Rows which gives us a  dynamic income statement where it is possible to expand and collapse rows to see the hierarchy:- Income      - Account Group              -AccountOur challenge is that we like to have the exact same view that shows us Income and COGS per Order. We can achieve this by using “Show value as” to show our metrics in relation to total number of orders and it also works fine when filtering the table by Location or Subsidiary. However, show value as does not work in combination with grouping by Account Group and Account, since number of  orders is not by account. If we add the dimension Account to our metric for Number of  orders we can get it right on the lowest level, but in this case the aggregations by account and account group becomes wrong. Is there any workaround
