Hello,Is in the roadmap the possibility to create data import configurations automatically (https://kb.pigment.com/docs/connect-google-bigquery#load-bigquery-data-into-pigment), for example through an API or by syncing with a file in a repository? At the moment these are set up manually, and we would like to understand what automation options exist to govern what is accessible and configurable in Pigment.Best,António

Hi, I am running into a blocker here.Doing an import starting from a file, it wont let me select multiple times the month columns (though the other columns work just fine...)I am quite sure this error does not show up in previous TL lists imports I did in the past.Any guess ? 

Is there a way to use the “Add a comment” feature in a Board that is used within a Sequence?The feature works well when using the Board directly, but it is not available when the same Board is used within a Sequence.I tested the same Board both within a Sequence and outside of a Sequence. The “Add a comment” feature works correctly when the Board is used outside of a Sequence, but not when it is used within a Sequence. Therefore, this does not seem to be a permissions issue.Could you please let me know if there is a solution or workaround to enable this functionality within a Sequence?Thank you in advance for your help.

We have several transaction list properties with formulas that are now timing out and we are concerned we have hit a ceiling.The transaction list is just over 6 Million rows and over 60 properties, many of which are calculations. The formula is a simple as i can make it. ifblank('Opp Trx'.OWNER_ID.GLOBAL_DIVISION, 'Global Division'."No Segment") Is the transaction list simply too big or is there a more efficient formula to be used?

Hello everyone , I have a question please Where can I find my Pigment MCP Server URL ?Thank you in advance 

We are experiencing that if we save a copy of a Google Sheet with Pigment Connector connections, we lose the connections in the copied sheet.  We just want to double-check if there's a way to maintain connections in a copied sheet or is it perhaps on the radar to be supported in the future?  Thank you!

Hi !We have an Excel add-in connexion to our production environment in a file. This file is shared between multiple people. The connexion was fine and we were able to retrieve data without issue. However, a new user tried to change the filters (version and company) and update the date and now we have an error saying “something went wrong when pulling the data. Please try again”. We tried several times closing the file and reoping it without success. The same file containe other similar connexions that were fine pulling new data when changing the filter.  

Can you add a tab space within a text box? I’m looking for the same functionality as in Word; where hitting tab indents the text by set amount & aligns rows of text to the same indentation. When I paste text in from an external source the tab is retained, so functionality looks like it’s in Pigment; but I can’t work out how to invoke it by typing (hitting the tab button just jumps to next widget on the board).

Hi,I have a TL which imports raw data from NS but for the 2 historical months values in NS is different than Pigment TL. Our NS data is daily refreshed in Pigment. So, is there a possibility that out of all historical months 2-month data is not updated i.e. values at initial load may be different but now are not updated as per NS even after daily refresh or is there any other thing causing the issue.Thanks

Hi,There is this recurring issue for which i am trying to find a solution for. Currently we import actuals from NS and have an integration layered for that. But occasionally, the Actuals differ from NS due to some missing GL error or wrong historical data or something else. The thing i am looking forward is to get an error message or notification if any part of my p&l report is different from NS any day, since we have a daily refresh. Is there a way using Pigment Ai i can automate this process instead of daily looking in Ns or waiting for someone to inform me.Please let me know if anyone is working on this of issue or has a solution for.Please let me know if any clarifications are needed.  Thanks Community

Is it currently possible to include external-source imports (Sage, API, connector-based) inside a Data Flow? If so, where in the UI do I add them? If not supported today, is there a recommended alternative to trigger multiple external imports from a single Board button ?

Hello Pigment community,I recently found I can't use the "Show Value As" function in a table to calculate cost as a % of revenue at the department level. Maybe I'm missing something. Hoping someone can help explain.For example, in a table I have Metric 1 (cost by department by month) and Metric 2 (total revenue by month), both added to the table. I tried setting "Show Value As" the % of Metric 2 for Metric 1, expecting to see cost as a % of revenue by each department. Instead, Pigment only gives me the total % of revenue. I believe this used to work at the department level.Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I would like to automate data imports from a transaction list via an SFTP connection. My SFTP connection is working properly.Issue 1: Variable dateWhen I use the “Fixed file” option with the file path and name “ZME2K_20260828_0018BSQz.P0J.csv” it works.However, when I try to use the “Most recent file” option with the file path and name “ZME2K_{{date}}_0018BSQz.P0J.csv” no file is found. Pigment documentation specifies that the “ISO-8601” standard is accepted (with or without “-”). However, article only provides the example with a hyphen. I use a YYYYMMDD format. Did I do something wrong? https://kb.pigment.com/docs/connect-sftp-server. Issue 2: Other variableThis same transaction list must be populated from several separate files with the same structure, originating from different departments (existing “department” dimension).I understand that I must create a connection for each file (i.e., for each department), and that only the file date can be varied. This system seems a bit

Hi - after turning on Scenarios, is there a reason why it automatically pivots the Scenario to the bottom dimension of Columns? This causes aggregated views to appear blank for nearly all of our tables, and requires manual intervention to go in a re-save every view.Maybe I’m missing something, but it would be great if this was a little more seamless.  

Hi Hive Mind, I need to delete 1500 items form a list (following creating of thousands of duplicated entries “thanks to” the possibility to bypass the uniqueness constraint using a formula and then removing it…).On one hand, I see only right click on a single item and press delete… x by 1500 times.On the other hand The transactions lists allow to “manage items”, filters, mass check and bulk delete manually.How can I avoid repeating thousand times the same action ?

We use a rolling forecast and when we create new forecast versions we need to clone them from a previous forecast as a starting point. These clones can take close to 1 hour, which really delays our process.Is there any advice for speeding up the cloning process? Which factors impact clone duration?We do financial forecasting and workforce planning so I’d assume the main drivers are number of months, cost centers, and employees, but am wondering if there’s anything else I’m missing.

I have a table with Month and  a YTD calculated item in the columns and five metrics in the rows. Four of the metrics are financial. The fifth is headcount.As my YTD calculation applies across all metrics, my heads are adding up rather than showing the last value. Note that I changed the settings of my underlying heads metric to Last rather than Sum for time dimensions, but this didn’t make any difference. My questions is, do calculated columns have to apply across all metrics in the table? 

 Good afternoon! I have a question whichs regards the combination of two measures within a P&L setting.First measure: A Year To Date cumulative calculated item. Sums all the values of a line item in the P&L untill the most recent period, within the current fiscal year.Second measure: An index vs LY measure. Should take the index of the actuals against the actual values of last year. In this P&L, the columns are seperated in two groups, as visible in the first snippet: first 7 monthly measures, then 7 Year to date measures. Each of the columns are currently filled with accurate calculations, except for the very last one: Year to date → Index LY. I have put my current Year to Date and Index LY calculations in the attachment as well. To clarify: both the Index LY as well as the Year to date measure on its own are working just fine. It really is about the combination of both calculations in the last column. Does anybody have a clue how to solve this error? I have tried the Pigm

When I lived in TM1 World, we would always build our 'cubes' (metrics) such that the 'rules' (formulae) ONLY applied to a SINGLE 'working version'. Then, when a forecast was signed off, we would run a process to copy data from this working version (in all cubes) to an archive version, e.g. 'Forecast May', which was not subject to rule calculations. This meant that 1) the system no longer had to undertake any calculations (other than addition) for the archive versions and, more importantly, 2) any subsequent formula changes would not impact the archive versions so what was reported couldn't change.One way to achieve this in Pigment is to just back-up the whole application and call it something like 'Forecast May Reporting', but this is unsatisfactory for a number of reasons: primarily as it makes it so difficult for the end-planner to find and compare data, but also due to resource usage (what happens when we have 3 years' of monthly backups?) In any case, having the live working versio

Hi,I am trying to export a view as csv via APOP, but my view is coming weird in Target Sheet. It is just showing Row Headers and that too with dimension name instead of dimension items. When i download that as csv it shows correct but while exporting it to another tool it is showing weird results. Please someone explain me the reason and what am i missing?Thanks

Hi !We are using the pigment connector to Excel. I have multiple questions :Is it possible to connect different sheets to different workspaces in pigment within the same excel file ? So far, we had errors where we couldn’t connect the file to anything after changing workspace. If not, what do we have to do to change the whole file from one pigment workspace to another ? We tried deleting all connexions but we either don’t have the set filter page or the file indicates we are still connected to another workspace (but we don’t know which one). Thanks !
