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

Hi Pigment team! I am trying to setup a amortization schedule as following. Can you please help?Orange is given resources Green is the output that I would like to have in the table/metric Blue is just validation for myself which aligns with the orange Total column and doesn’t need to be in the model   Following is the formula I used in excel:For 1/31/2023 Column alone, formula is  =($V5/$AS5)*((AV$4-$AQ5)+1) For 2/28/2023 and onwards, formula is  =IF(EOMONTH($AR264,0)<AW$4,0,IF(AW$4<=$AR264,($V264/$AS264)*(TEXT(AW$4,"d")),($V264/$AS264)))   I tried using the following formula in playground for 1/31/2023 column, but it doesn’t seem to work. IF(Month.'Start Date'=DATE(2023,01,1),('RSU Accounting Data'.'Expense Amortized Future'/'RSU Accounting Data'.'Amortization # of Days') * DAY(Month.'End Date')) Thanks for helping out!

Hi everyone,I need help applying a recurring calculation to a monthly metric in Pigment.Here’s the situation:I have a metric called RES_Active Doctors, and I want to apply month-by-month the percentage stored in IN_Churn Existing Doctors - 3YP. The calculation should use the value of the previous month as the base.For example:If the initial value of RES_Active Doctors in Month 1 is 100, and the percentage in IN_Churn Existing Doctors - 3YP is 10%: Month 1: 100 (initial value) Month 2: 90 (100 - 10%) Month 3: 81 (90 - 10%) Month 4: 72.9 (81 - 10%) And so on. I’m wondering how to model this type of calculation in Pigment. Is there a function or method to automate this logic by referencing the previous period?Thanks a lot for your help! 😊

The documentation for the SEASONAL_LINEAR_REGRESSION function states that the “seasonality” argument can have the following dimensions:No Dimension or Dimensions of Text 1I have two questions about this…When I try to use a metric with no dimensions as this argument, I get the error “Function SEASONAL_LINEAR_REGRESSION requires argument 2 to be a positive integer”. What am I doing wrong? The metric where I’m using SEASONAL_LINEAR_REGRESSION has three dimensions (month and two non-time dimensions). What does “Dimensions of Text 1” mean?

Hello community, I am creating a PnL report for our company. At the moment it displays revenue (metric), cost (another metric), gross profit ( metric from formula) and so on. The metrics are derived from a transaction table that I imported.Now I would like to show the total USD and in the coloumn next to it I want to display avg per person. I have calculated the Avg per person and managed to create the same table as above from the avg metrics of the above metrics. BUT because these are metrics, I cannot have them side by side in the table. If I add the avg per person to my total table it will just add all the rows below. I can move upp the “metric” in pivot to columns but then that messes up the revenue, costs, gross profit placement etc.I created a dimension called version and was able to attach that as a property to the total metrics and the avg metrics, but haven’t found a way to union the two metrics with the variant dimensions. So my question is, how can I create a dimension from

I successfully connected Google Sheets to Pigment. After initiating the data import from Google Sheets to Pigment, I receive a message indicating that the import was successful, but the data is not imported into Pigment and I get the following error message:"Missing column in CSV Some header(s) in the mapping configuration are not found in the CSV."However, the headers in the imported file are identical to those in the Pigment list.You will find the screenshots below.  

Hi Community,How can we exclude invalid values in a dimension from appearing in the Page Selector in Pigment? For example, we have some inactive project codes and cost centers that we’d like to remove from all dropdowns, but they still show up.I believe there’s an option to manually edit the Page Selector to exclude those codes, but that would require updating it on every board and repeating the process whenever new codes are marked inactive.Is there a cleaner or more efficient way to handle this?  Thanks,Neo

I am working on setting up an integration between TeamOhana (headcount platform) and Pigment, which needs to be connected through an API request. Using this link, I have been able to set up the API connection and the action button to trigger the integration but I am unsure of where is the data getting pulled into? Do I need to set up a transaction list beforehand and then somehow link API request so the transaction data in Pigment gets updated? Essentially where is my data going if the API request result shows successful?FYI: It is Authentication: Bear <token> set up.
