Hello,I am trying to have a P&L comparison with a scenario A on 2024 vs. a scenario B on 2025. Is it possible to have a column scenario A 2024, a column scenario B 2025 and a third column with the variance between both ? When I try to do it, I have 2 columns per scenario and per year and it’s hard to read. Thanks

I am hiding some rows on the sheet view, but every time the board gets refreshed, it reverts back to original formatting with all the rows visible. How can this be fixed? 

I was working on Headcount planning and in order to be able to calculate attrition, I used iterative calculation functionality. With that I was able to calculate Attrition by multiplying attrition rate to ending (beginning) headcount, which is, in its turn, calculated as Beginning Headcount plus new hires minus attrition.Now I want to add Backfills to the calculation, so Ending Headcount will be Beginning Headcount plus new hires minus attrition plus backfills. I am calculating backfills as % of Attrition, and Backfills is also a part of Iterative Calculations. The thing I want to do, but cannot, is being able to instead of current period’s attrition get 2 months’ prior attrition and multiply it by backfill rate. So, if for instance Jan 25 attrition is 100 FTEs, my Mar 25 backfills should be 100 * 90% (Backfill rate) = 90 FTEs. So, instead of having 90 FTEs backfills in Jan 25, I would like to have it in Mar 25.I tried to put [SELECT: Month - 2] i

I am trying to get the prior year total to then multiply it by a growth rate.  (Prior Year * (1 + Growth Rate).PREVIOUS( ) is not working because I do not have Year in the metric, and trying to add it was not working.GrowthRate? is a Boolean that has TRUE starting in January 2026 and all periods forwardOriginalValue is a Number metric that has values monthly from January 2024 and all periods forward What I’m trying to get is something like this:IF(GrowthRate?,  (Prior Year * (1 + Growth Rate), OriginalValue).  I also can’t calculate off the OriginalValue metric because the Growth Rates will compound.  If all years in OriginalValue were $1000 and I am adding 10% Growth I would want to see $1000, $1100, $1210, etc...Unfortunately my 2025 occasionally has some 0 seasonality that is throwing off other metrics after this one.   Jan Feb

Has anyone ever noticed Pigment will occasionally round down for certain numbers when using percentages? I was using a fixed 2.95% and it showed up as 2.9% when using one decimal. I ran a test below starting with 0.95% + 1% and noticed other instances of this happening like 5.95% → 5.9%.    

I’m trying to add 2027 to all of my financial statements, which currently end at 2026. These months exist as a dimension in the datahub.My supporting apps (revenue, expenses, balance sheet forecast, cash flow forecast) all include 2027 by month.This is probably simple. Any ideas?

Hi Community!!! I just accidentally input 1-Jan-1925 instead of 2025 in a cell with date as data type, and now I couldn’t find that record because 2025 is set in page selector . How can I restrict users from adding dates that aren't possible? Snip below is what I am currently seeing in Pigment which shows a lot of old dates that won’t be used. Thank you!Neo

Hi Team - I’d like to seek your help on how to do the formula for specific months?Previously I’m using Moving Average, however I realized that it’s better to lock the average to specific months. For context this is my current formula → MovingAverage(Actuals,3) - so that it will get the average of the latest 3mos. What I want now is to just get the average of the months of July, Aug, Sep.In addition, the metric in which I will be using the formula allows manual input override. Once I update the formula of the average, will it override the manual input?Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi! Can you please help creating a formula for below?  In <BT: Interchange + Pass Through Transactions> transaction list  &  <Card Type> property dimension “does_not_apply” only, review <Description> property text and populate the <Card Type> dimension in <Text> property if the <Description> property contains the text listed in the <BT: does_not_apply Remap> transaction list? Thank you!

Hi! Can anyone help me with the correct format for this import? Last time that I updated the file was on Sept 25th 2024. I’ve checked this document and seems to be ok,so, not sure what may be going on:  

Hello,In the below metric I want to use Dec 24 FTE (128.65) as a reference value for the forecasted months based on the metrics CALC_FTE.I used [Select:Month-1] but it’s only working for the first projected month which is jan 25  but not for the forecasted months.For example in february and other forecasted months we should have 128.65+24Thanks for your help  

Hello, There was a change in the FTE number forecast for the months to go. I would like to add a new version to Pigment to reflect that. Could you please help me by explaining how I can do that? Thank you.

Hello!I want to transfer values from one quarter to another, based on certain conditions written by IF[...] and I am using filter and select as shown below:[filter: 'Actuals & Dimensions (Datahub)'::Quarter.'Quarter -1'][Select: 'Actuals & Dimensions (Datahub)'::Quarter-1])))However, when switching the switchover date, the values that I moved from Q to Q+1 will not be in Q+1 anymore. do you have an idea of a better clean way to code this?Thank you very much :))

 Hello Pigment,I would like to ask for your help regarding the RANK function, as I don’t fully understand the logic behind the ordering of its rank.Initially, I thought it considered the order of the list used as a dimension; that is, if my first 5 values to rank are equal, my rank 1 would be the first item in the list. However, this doesn’t always work that way. Here’s an example: Ideally, I want to create something like "ISFIRSTOCCURRENCE" that allows me to identify the first value created (like in Anaplan). My initial approach was essentially that: if my rank value is 1, then that is my first occurrence. However, I can’t achieve this correctly.What is the logic behind using "Sequential" as argument then? How does it behave? Or how does it find the values to rank? Do they rely on the ID behind

Hi Pigmenters,Any suggestions on how to write a more elegant formula to achieve the results shown in the Excel please.Here s the current solution: ifblank(ifblank(Metric, 1)*previous(Month), Metric) Thanks, Louie 

Hello,  I am exploring API’s capabilities in Pigment and by now I found that API can be used to : Import / Export data  Manage users in the case we use SCIM  Monitor application Audit logsI did not find any documentation about managing (create, modify, delete) blocks. For example, I would like to create a metric. Is there a way to do it through an API ?  Thanks a lot for your answer, Antonin

Hello,I currently have the following table, in the first column I fill in tickets manually.And now I have two needs:I hope to count the number of corresponding Tickets through the second column. I hope to mark the last ticket in sequence.I tried using the Rank function, but couldn't achieve these two needs accurately. Can you give me some suggestions?Thank you in advance!!

I’m wondering if it’s possible to send out a notification to multiple users when a successful data import has been completed? Ideally by e-mail or through Slack. In my experience so far only the user that initiated the data import receives the notification.

The hire date for EE00001 is 10/01/2022, but when I apply the formula, it shows as January 2023. Am I missing something?EE_Load_HRIS:   

Hello. I have imported a transaction list into Pigment that has two date dimensions. One is “Month” and is = to an accounting period. The second date dimension is the “Load Date” added automatically during the import. Each month, I will append to the data list so at the end, this list could have GL data by period for each load month. I am able to sum the data by period OR by load month but I’m not able to say which load I want to use. My current formula is like this:'02. Test Pivoted Push'.Amount[BY SUM: '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Department, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.'GL Account', '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Month, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Subsidiary, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Vendor]I want to add in a condition where the results will be based on which load month is selected (something like  ]'02. Test Pivoted Push'.'Load Date'= Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month] where ‘Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month’ will be determined by me. 

Hi Pigment community,I am trying to calculate our revenue per employee metric. The metric should show Rev/FTE by month, and then, when aggregated by quarter, it should take the total revenue for the quarter and divide it by average monthly employees. The issue is that, for quarter it is summing up the total employees instead of taking average. This is what I am getting in Pigment, for instance: But what I want is the following: I tried showing “Total Revenue” as % of metric “Employees”, but even there it is still taking the sum of 3 months employees. I created table with Quarter dimension only, which fixes this, but I wanted to have months there too.
