Pigment has just raised $145M in Series D funding!News

In case you missed it - today we’ve announced that Pigment has just raised $145M in Series D funding!

Conditional recipients and Scenarios

I have configured an Automation that triggers in my scenario “Forecast”. The automation contains a conditional recipient, but the issue is that the recipient is defined by my metrics value in scenario “Baseline” instead of the value in scenario “Forecast”. Is this the way it is supposed to work or is there any way around it?

SCIM and User Creation

Will manual user creation/invitations be made unavailable for users inside the domain when SCIM is enabled?Current security/administration issue we are facing:Security Admin Role is being overly used and assigned for the impersonation feature. This is used for troubleshooting issues with Clients/Users for application/model building. Is it possible to change the level that requires this access in the future? With SSO enabled we still have users attempting to invite or manually create users with internal Domain accounts.We need to confirm that the SCIM security constraints are not circumvented with users being able to create/invite internal domain users.

Building a balance sheet in pigment

I am trying to build a balance sheet but I did not find any article about it.So i create a saved search in netsuite that is linked to metric in Pigment by using a transaction list.I’m trying to display data for multiple periods ( ex: dec 21, dec22...) in the same metric but looks like i have to create different transaction lists for different periods and then create a table to aggregate all the periods.Happy to have your insight on the most efficient way to build a balance sheet,thanks

Google Sheet connector and date format

We are pulling data from a view in Pigment into Sheets via the Pigment Connector and have noticed that the date information that is pulled does not necessarily reflect correctly.The month in Pigment, for instance, shows “Jan 24”.  However, when this data is pulled into Sheets via the connector, the actual underlying date comes over as 1/24/2023 (which would be January 2023, and not January 2024).  Is there a known way to account for this disconnect in dates between the month in Pigment and the way that gets translated into Sheets?  Below are a few screenshots to illustrate the point:  January 2024 date in Pigment translates to January 2023 in Sheets via the connectorJanuary 2024 date in Pigment translates to January 2023 in Sheets via the connector

Pull a dimension based on a number metric

I everyone,Do you know if there is a way to pull a dimension based on a metric ?Here is what I would like to do :I have a dimension that has :An ID number column from 1 to 1000 (manually filled) A Country dimension column (that I want to fill with a formula) A Month dimension column (that I also want to fill with a formula) An Activity dimension column (that I also want to fill with a formula)On the other hand, I have a number metric with the tree dimensions Month, Country and Activity, with an input based on a formula that gives me numbers from 1 to 1000.So in my dimension I would like to affiliate the month and the country regarding the column number, matching with the number metric. I tried Match and Item functions but it is not working.Do you know if it is even possible with Pigment ? Thank you for your help !

Native Scenario

Hi Pigmenteers 🤗I have 2 questions related to Pigment’s native scenarios:1. What are the main benefits of using native scenarios instead of custom scenario list? 2. I also learn that once you enable native scenarios in Pigment, the native scenarios will be applied to all the metrics in the application, is there a way we could remove it out of some specific metrics?

ADD vs BY

Hi Guys, I have a beginner’s question. I am not entirely sure I understand the difference between BY and ADD. I understand both can be used to split the data into additional dimensions but not sure when I should use which. For example - I have data by Period and Account. For the purpose of dimensions alignment with other metrics, I need to add Channel and Country assuming the same values for Channel and Country per Period and Account. I know I can use BY or BY CONSTANT but what if I use ADD? What would be the difference? Regards,Adam

Forecast future customers using the average months to convert

Dear Pigment Community,I'm currently tackling a challenge with a modeling project and could really use your expertise.Goal: Forecast future customers using the average months to convert.Issue: I have a metric for my forecasted number of customers, but I'm stuck on how to shift these values forward into the future based on my metric that calculates average months to convert. Desired outcome: My ideal solution would take the forecasted customer values and shift them forward into the future by ‘x’ months based on what the average months to convert value is. Please find images and further explinations bellow.This metric contains the number of custstomers expected.I want to use this metric to push the values in # cust fcst forward into the future by the number of average months.Example using the images above:metric[# Customers FCST]: France, Inbound Nov 23 value will be shifted to Mar 24, 4 months into the future because the metric[Avg months to convert previous year] value is 4. I'm open t

Merging dimensions

Hello,In my transactions list, I have a field called “Chain Simulate” which merges the dimensions “Ship Mode”, “Ship Mode Simulate” and “POL (code)” and returns as text property. Is there any way to merge the three dimensions and return in dimension property? The combinations are already created as a dimension in the background. My purpose is to : Based on the combination in the column “Chain Simulate”, it should return a number in the Lead Time column. Besides, the Lead time per combination is added within a dimension & also created a mapping Metric. Issues : I am able to merge & return the value only as a “Text” property so this text property cant perform a lookup to the below dimension or mapping.  Kindly let me the know also best way to retrieve the Lead time based on the combination.  Dimenison :  Mapping Metric : ( This is pulling the data from above chain dimension) Let me know if its clear or not.

Prorata for overlap period

Hello,We import our sick leave period data into a transaction list in Pigment:Each employee could have several records of different periods.But it's possible to have overlap periods for one person, for exemple: Emp_2 has an overlap period from 03/04/2023 - 03/08/2023. So for this case, I have two needs:1. Create a metric to affiche those employees who have overlap period2. Even it's error and we warn it, we still want to calculate these sick leave period from the earliest start date to the lastest end date. PS: I’m not sure if it’s helpful to create unique ID for all records in the transaction list. We can do it if need. Thanks you in advance for any advice!!

Move the first 12 months of MRR to the next years.

Hello Pigment Community. I am trying to calculate the commission that we have to pay to our partners and it is based on the first year of MRR that each new client signed through a lead from our partners has generated. That means, that if we sign a new client in 2022, on 2024 we will pay a commission for that client based on the MRR that it generated through its first year, in this case 2022 and not the MRR that it is generating now in 2024.  At the moment I have this formula; This is showing me only the first 12 month of MRR for each client as you can see in the following screenshot:  The problem with this method is that if we have a client that starts in a different month than January for example November, we want that the MRR for December and November for that client next year to be the same as it was on the previous year. Therefore I am looking for a formula that allows me to Move only the first 12 months of MRR to the next years. Than you in advance :)Gabriel.
