Hello hello Pigment communityI am struggling over an issue and maybe someone can help me. My goal is here to setup a dashboard to analyse our commercial pipeline. So all the client listed in our pipeline are potentiel leads. We have in this data several columns of date : last interaction date, last modified date, expected close date, etc… with also another column : “extract date” indicating the date of the extract of the whole data. The difficulty is that i cannot link all of theses column with the “Day” dimension in Pigment because i can’t have in the same metric several dimension linked with the “Day Dimension”. Hence i will have to create dimension for all of theses columns, not linked to the “Day dimension”, in order to be able to use them in my metrics. But my question is : if i create a dimension in which my data is several “date”, will pigment be able to recognize and organize it (in a graph for example)

To push data from Google Sheets, must the data sheet be in tabular form? When we perform a manual csv file import directly to a transaction list, one of the options under “data layout” is to select “flat” or “pivot”. However, with the push feature, are we limited to just a flat file layout?

We are trying to create a Income Statement for actuals vs Budget and previous years (PY in the table below) value. Showing both monthly value and YTD. We have our metrics on the rows in the table below. YTD is created as a calculated item using Cumulate and all PY columns are also created as calculated items, using an Offset on version Actuals. The problem is that I can’t get the column to the very right “Var PY %” to show the right value, no matter how I define the calculation priority. If I put it before YTD it is blank and if I put it after YTD it calculates the variance as a percentage for each month and then sums all these percentages together which results in a totally incorrect value. Any ide how to set up the calculations to make this work?  

I have a XYZ input metric of data type: Boolean with dimension: Teams andanother metric ABC of data type: number with dimension Manager.I need to create a metric at Manager level with dimension : Manager and data type: number , to fetch the amount from ABC if any of the teams of a specific manager is True.There is already a mapping between manager and teams in the Teams dim list. I tried this formula, but it gives the value even all the teams of a manager in XYZ metric is false. IF(ANYOF('t. XYZ [Input]'),'m. Amount')

Hi Pigment Community,I’m trying to apply conditional formatting to an entire column in a table but not include the Total line, which already has formatting of its own.  Is this possible?Thanks for your help,Tom S. 

I have Services Bookings that I need to turn into Services Revenue over a set of months based on % of completion. Each Services Bookings (ex: $100K) relates to a product (Product A) that has a set number of services hours (ex: 300 hours) that amortize over a set of months (ex: month 1=50, month 2=150, month 3=100). To calculate revenue by month, I need to multiply Revenue $ per Hour ($100K/300 hours) by hours in each month. How do I reference the same Revenue $ per Hour in each of the 3 months? As I book deals over time, each month will have different Services Bookings that will impact the Revenue $ per Hour for that Services Booking Month. 

I have a metric with so many IFs conditions,Out of those, there’s one condition which checks the other boolean metric is False Or Is Blank.ISBLANK(Is active?) : I am using this logic, its giving me the cardinality error.If I am replacing it with Is Active <> TRUE, it doesn’t give the error ; but it checks only the values which aren’t true, i.e. False, and doesn’t checks the Blank values.Any suggestions? to resolve this as I need to check both “((Active? = FALSE) OR ISBLANK(Active?))”

In Pigment, I have tried the below formula for City metric: The source metrics are with dimension: Employees and RoleThe target metric is having dimension: Employees and Month.I’ve tried the above formula, but it’s giving me the same abc value across for employees and for all months.Can anyone assist me with this formula in Pigment IF(ISDEFINED('erCity'.Name[BY TEXTLIST: TIMEDIM('erStart Date',Month)]),'erCity'.Name[BY TEXTLIST: TIMEDIM('erStart Date',Month)],IF(ISDEFINED(PREVIOUS(Month)),PREVIOUS(Month),'erCity'.Name[BY TEXTLIST: TIMEDIM('erPlan Date',Month)])) IF(ISNOTBLANK('Employees by Role'.City[TEXTLIST: 'Employees by Role'.Start Date])THEN 'Employees by Role'.City[TEXTLIST: 'Employees by Role'.Start Date]ELSE IF ISNOTBLANK(PREVIOUS(City)) THEN PREVIOUS(City) ELSE 'Employees by Role'.City[TEXTLIST: 'Employees by Role'.Plan Date]

When we are importing data into a transaction list, and the data contains new dimension list items those are automatically added to the corresponding dimension list. However the new item is only added with the unique ID, and all properties (Name) are blank. Is there a way to get the dimension list name property (text) updated (even for already existing items), similar to when a csv-file is manually imported to a dimension list? Would be really nice to get an answer on this. 

I have a target metric wherein I need to fetch all the project names assigned to a person within 12 months.E.g. If the same project exists for multiple months in the source metric, in the target metric - it should return only the unique ones.I tried this formula, this is working fine and returning all the projects assigned to each person in all the months.But I want to fetch the unique projects.Source Metric has dimensions: project, role, monthTarget metric has dimensions: Project, role.'Project Assigned'.Name[BY TEXTLIST: 'd. Month'][REMOVE TEXTLIST: 'd. Month'] 

I’m trying to publish a metric xyz which is coming from/created in ABC Application (Library → Sharing (ON) for this metric) in my another application PQR, but this isn’t allowing me to do so.Also, I have used this metric in PQR application in various fornulas and it’s taking up the source metric correctly.But when I’m trying to publish this metric on a board in other app- PQR, then in the dropdown, this metric isn’t showing up.

Is it possible to reverse the column order when displaying data in a table for a dimension such as month?For example, I have 12 columns of data by month and would like to display the table from left to right showing Dec-Jan instead of Jan-Dec.

Hello,I want a metric to have another dimension which can be mapped based on 2 separate criteria.So I created 2 metrics separately with their respective criteria by using BY modifier to map the dimensions.And finally I wanted to combine them together so I used IFBLANK to use either one way to arrive at the final mapping.But the final metric seems to be duplicating some of the mappings and arrives at incorrect results. My goal is to have the metric values to be mapped to the second criteria only if it was not mapped through the first one.How can I implement this in a metric formula?IFBLANK has been working great for transaction list blank items, what would be the similar alternative to be used for metrics?

I have a metric with “Vendor”, “Sub Department”, “Entity”, “Expense Type” and “Month” as the dimensions.I want to add another dimension “KPI Group” to this metric based on “Vendor” and if its blank then based on “Expense Type”Vendor and Expense Type dimension has the link to KPI Group in their respective dimension list. So when I use [BY: ‘Vendor’.’KPI Group’] or [BY:’Expense Type’.’KPI Group’] this results in the the Vendor and Expense Type dimension getting converted to KPI Group. Instead I want to populate the respective KPI Group based on Vendor or Expense Type and arrive at a metric that contains all these 3 dimensions (Vendor, Expense Type and KPI Group) along with the remaining Sub Department, Entity and Month.How can I arrive at the above mentioned dimension structure for the metric?

Hi,In the picture below I´m currently using the formula: 'First Time Borrower'[by constant:Month."Jan 24"]*'Retention Curve'My First issue is that the multiplication of “first time borrowers” by “retention curve” in Jan 24 works perfectly, but for Feb 24 I need that the retention curve percentage used for the multiplication, starts with Jan 24 and not Feb 24, I mean the percentage for the formula in Feb 24 should de 100% that belong to Jan 24 and not the  82.76% that belongs to Feb 24. I tried using the “previous” function but it keeps telling me there are errors. My second issue is that I´ve been trying to use the exclude function in orden to have the final view as the picture below:

Is it possible to reverse a change in Pigment ? I deleted a block accidentally and the block was being used somewhere and I did not get any warnings before deleting. Now I have errors. - Is it possible to undo a deletion ?

I want to round to the nearest ten or hundred. Example: 223,453 --> 223,450 or 223,500. I tried the round formula but it didn’t work.

I started using Pigment 3 days ago and I´m trying to figure out how to recreate an Excel formula in the platform.The excel formula I have is the following:=INDEX($B$6:$M$6,MATCH($A9,$B$5:$M$5,0))*C$7 Basically my issue lies in he part of fixating the formula to one single cell. the multiplication brings the correct result for the first cell in the Table I created, but the formula replicates to all cells in the row and I haven´t been able to figure out how to fixate the first part of the formula in order for the multiplication to only change cells for the last part of the formula (*C$7).Can anyone share some guidance please?

I have a formulated metric of the datatype: Dimension and when using this metric in a table, the values are coming correct but these values are colored (multi) because it’s  a dimension metric . Since this metric is used in multiple tables . Is there any way by which I can get rid of the colors of this metric in a specific table?

Appreciate your assistance here.... The left screen is the CVS loaded PnL Acct dimension and the right screen is NetSuite Integration. The Coln dimension 'FP&A Category Override' is a user manual input. Is there a way I may do a 'vlookup' in the new table so that we don't have to manually map it again. 

Hi Team, I have an existing formula for moving average, however I want to add another condition that if the moving average is negative, then the result should be zero.This is my formula right now:IF(Actual?,MOVINGAVERAGE('Actual',3),PREVIOUS('Month))Can you help me how can I add my new condition in this formula? Thank you!

Hi,Do you have a best practice to recommend on how to manage interns who are converted to permanent contracts (=CDI in France) in Pigment?When a trainee is converted to a permanent contract, he keeps the same ID in Workday, which means that when Workay connects to Pigment, and as we base Pigment with the IDs : Pigment doesn't “see”that he no longer has an end date that he has changed contract type that he has a different salary and Pigment doesn't count him as a headcount. My temporary solution is to change the intern’s ID (so I have 1 ID for the intern and 1 ID for the same guy with a permanent contract) but this is very manual, so I was wondering if you had any advice.Thanks
