What is the best process for an organization to use SSO with Pigment? 

Hi!It would be great to create another step of the Learning Path to enable many topics not covered in the Fundamental training but present in the articles in the community, such as Variables, integrations, naming convention and etc.The next step for advanced models and enterprise cases would be of use.Could you please tell if it’s on the roadmap? Or perhaps I overlooked it and would be glad if you provide me with the link.Thanks.

Hi community.Is it possible to add calendar dimensions e.g. Month from one application, as widget in another applications board view?  Cheers

Hello, I would like to display the ranking of my client (1,2,3…..) based on their actual value , how can i do it ?Thanks for your help  

Hi Pigment Community, Hope you’re all doing well. I’m currently having a formatting/metric structure issue and was wondering if anyone had a solution to my problem. The current challenge I’m facing is that when I create a table using 2 existing metrics and 1 input metric, the format of my table follows the input metric, when I would like it to follow the format of the existing metrics. To further explain I have a list of managers and territories. Managers only operate in one territory, so in a table manager A should only be seen under country X, however I am seeing that Manager A is listed under Country A, B, C, etc...Blocks:DIMENSION: Opp Owner Name METRIC: Revenue [$] Y-1 METRIC: Revenue [$] Y-2 (no picture provided because its the same as Revenue [$] Y-1) METRIC: Yearly Bookings [$] - Input - NBiz TABLE: Output Yearly Bookings ($)To help explain I have attached images below that

Hi Pigment community,I want to manage the edit rights in a Board, so that users only can edit/add data for Forecast data and should not edit/override the Actuals data. I created a Period Type metric:   I added the Period Type to the Year metric:   I created a custom Access Rights Metric named “Forecast Rule” for the Period Type and Year metric. I updated the access to Actual on Read / No Write and to Forecast Read / Write for all users:

Is it possible to set up notification every time when the load automatically happened from a native integration? Does it depend on the type of plan? 

Hello Pigment Community!If you’ve noticed that special characters (i.e. è or á) in your name aren’t displaying correctly in Pigment Academy, here’s a quick and easy fix: Login to Pigment Workspace: Start by logging into your Pigment workspace. Access Account Settings: Click on your profile name in the bottom left corner and select 'Account settings' from the menu options. Pigment - Account Settings  Update Your Name: Under the "My Profile" page, update your name by adding a random character (e.g., a letter or a number) at the end. Settings - My Profi

I have two lists.List with account numbers List with account groups and min + max rangesI want a function that assigns the numbers from the first list to the correct category in the second list if the number is within the respective range.I found the solution in Excel and could not find a suitable way to implement this in Pigment. Here is the Excel solution:=INDEX($D$2:$D$6, MATCH(TRUE, ($E$2:$E$6 <= A2) * ($F$2:$F$6 >= A2), 0))INDEX($D$2:$D$6): This part selects the Category column. MATCH(TRUE, ($E$2:$E$6 <= A2) * ($F$2:$F$6 >= A2), 0): This part finds the row where the number in column A falls within the Min and Max range.I tried to use the MATCH function with some IF clauses, but that was not possi

Hi,I believe the visual hint feature for metrics is a great feature for the end users. However, I have observed it doesn’t work as suggested for the metric that is calculated and overriding with an input value is allowed. Example: I have a metric ‘Annual Bonus’, and under the Metric’s ‘Data Input’ settings enabled the ‘Allow overriding formula results with an input’ option.Data Input setting updated to ‘Allow overriding’ But, if you see it in the Board, it will show only as a Calculated metric i.e. grey vertical column at the right side of the cell, and not as the ‘Calculation with Input allowed’ i.e. with both pale yellow background as well as the grey vertical bar at right side of the cell, to indicate that it is both calculated and input/override is allowed. Without

Hi all - I’m looking to calculate the maximum value of the last 3 months but seem to be getting incorrect values with my current formula. Adding screenshots below. Tried “MAX(Value, Value[select: Month - 1], Value[select: Month - 2])” but it seems to be causing a mismatch in dimensionality somehow.  

Hi,I am trying to change the scale of the Y-axis on a combined chart, but am not seeing the option of a “Fixed” scale.Interestingly, on a Secondary Y scale this is possible (pls see below) In a separate discussion below, it was stated that this should just be an issue with bar charts, but I cannot find the option in the combined chart either.Thanks for the help! 

Hi Pigment Community,I am a beginner in financial modeling and have a very shallow learning curve in Pigment and often don't progress well. I have to constantly look up tutorials and forums to do simple things that I often don't fully understand.What would help me a lot would be a detailed video of a project where the budget or forecast in Pigment is set up step by step and all the steps in Pigment are explained. Especially modeling with dimensions, transaction lists etc. is difficult for me without a lot of previous experience. (E.g. which metrics do you basically need and how are they created from the raw data?)Are there any such videos available?  I haven't found any suitable examples on YouTube or Google.Is there an overview page of all Pigment videos from the Academy? That would also help a bit without always having to search in the respective topic subpages.Thank you!M

Hello everyone,I know that automation/workflow needs to be designed with Metrics but I would like some people to input a dimension (with Data Type “Text”) and then select from several elements in several properties (each property being of the Data Type “Dimension”).In the following example (which is a Dimension), I want some employees to input the Name of the subject they will be working on and then select the start date of the subject, the end date, link is to a project, a product and an activity.I have absolutely no idea of how to do that. Any tips?Many thanksLaura  

Looking to toggle between whole $ numbers and %’s for budget driver values - I would like to be able to set up any value between 0 and 1 to show up as e.g. 5% vs 0.05, but the same metric also has $20,0000 type direct annual input amounts. Is this possible?

Bonjour,Y’a t’il un moyen de conserver la mise un forme d’un tableau lors d’un export via connecteur de Pigment vers Google Sheet ou Excel ? (A chaque fois toute la mise en forme saute).Par ailleurs, est-il possible d’exporter des graphs de la même manière ? 

Dear All,  This is a fabulous function but it seems to have disappeared recently. I cannot see it in the drop down, I only see Deactivate/Delete Scenario Option.  What has happened?   Regards,Adam

Hello, I have a metric that calculates for me the travel amount (see below) which has three dimensions, Parent Department, Version, and Travel lines. This metric eventually goes into a table where we have all the drop downs you see in the formula. Now I need to add another metric for display that will count the number of travel inputs each parent department has (or maybe just a KPI instead). So in this example, for Parent Department I would like to see “4”. How do I use the COUNT formula or another one to do it?  

Hi Pigment Community, I have some data that i’ve uploaded to a Pigment transaction block from Sales Force. Included in my data is hyperlink information so that my users can click the link to navigate from Pigment to Sales Force if they want to go to the source of the data. At the moment I am unable to find a way to make the link active though, and was wondering if there is a way to achieve this? Transaction block with URL information for hyperlink

I would like to ask if in Pigment there is a setting or by setting some metrics, we could be able to view whether a metric has the manual input/override function turned on? Additionally, is there a way to have automatic conditional formatting in a table such that if the metric has the manual override function turned on, it will display in a different color?  This would help us easily identify and manage overridden metrics in our application. Thank you.

I received a question to our support desk from a user recently, and I thought that it would be helpful to others to share my approach!The user wanted to extract some clean items from a text property in their transaction list so that they could find the corresponding ‘Country’ dimension items by using the ITEM() function. Generally, the values were simply an exact match to the unique ‘Name’ property for the items that they wanted to map to. However, in their source data, some items were followed by a whitespace and some additional information contained within parentheses, i.e. “Country (City Name)”.The formula that they were using was not returning results for the transactions where the source text property contained parentheses. It looked something like this:ITEM( IF( ISBLANK(LEFT(SourceTransactionList.CountryText, FIND(" (", SourceTransactionList.CountryText))), SourceTransactionList.CountryText, LE

Hi there, I’m facing a recurrent problem and can’t seem to have a solution to fix it. My problem is the following : I monitor my P&L statement in Pigment, this P&L is directly based on my general ledger. The general ledger is imported once a month, and includes all the months of the year, although the entries for previous months only change marginally. Each month, the general ledger is mapped, with a supplier column (which does not exist in the original import); a formula in Pigment is used to map according to the wording of the entry. However, sometimes the formula does not recognise the supplier correctly, or does not map it. As a result, I end up doing manual mapping to correct inconsistencies.  However, when I re-import the general ledger the following month, the manual adjustments are overwritten and I end up with unmapped suppliers. How can I ensure that they aren’t overwritten ?  How can I keep track of manual adjustments?
