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.

We had to create a workforce roster of all employees with on target cash (or OTE) in local and USD and it was very challenging to do this. Internally, on our team, we tried to troubleshoot it ourselves and spent a few hours with no success. Then we engaged our solutions consultant to do this and it took him 25 minutes to go through the spiderweb of how to take local currency multiplied by current fx rates to get USD. In my past experience using other systems like Adaptive, this would take 3 minutes. I’m bumping this up because I think there is an opportunity to create an easier/more intuitive formula playground or builder for some calculations.

I am trying to consolidate the no. of projects assigned to an employee by below formula:('Assigned Project'[BY COUNTUNIQUE: 'd. Integer','d. Employee'])The metric is of dimensions: Project, Integer, employee .In rows, i have all the dimensions of the metric, but am getting the “1” as the result, and the result is correct if I keep only employees in the rows.I need to fetch the total no. of projects assigned to an employee. (Metric is having 3 dimensions: Project, Integer, employee ). If an employee has total 4 projects assigned, it should show: “4” as the output for that employee instead of “1” value in each of 4 rows.

Hi people, I’m trying to create this metric when I receive the error:   'Budget 2024'.Amount['Budget 2024'.'Load Type'IN ('Budget 2024'.'Load Type'."Budget TopLine",'Budget 2024'.'Load Type'."Budget Other Costs")][BY SUM: 'Budget 2024'.'Country Input'.'Country Pigment', 'Budget 2024'.Month, 'Budget 2024'.Product, 'Budget 2024'.Service, 'Budget 2024'.'Budget Line']+'Budget 2024'.Amount['Budget 2024'.'Load Type'= 'Load Type'."Budget OpEx"][BY SUM: 'Budget 2024'.Month,'Budget 2024'.'Budget Line'][BY: 'Product Input'."TBD", Service.Name."TBD", 'Country Pigment'."Unallocated Country"]  I highlighted in red what Pigment is displaying, but I have no idea what’s going on.  I wil really appreciate any help. 

Hi,I have a metric Project Allotted of data type: Project dimension;metric having dimensions: Employee, Project Role and Integers.how can I fetch the employee name in a metric “Emp” of data type: Employee and with dimensions: Project Role and Project from the above ABC metric and with Lastnonblank integer? 

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?))”
