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

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 di

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!

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

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 beco

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! 😊
