Managing Historical Data

Hi everyone! I didn’t find a discussion on this: What are best practices for updating your actuals monthly and maintaining the historical data? Do you just add new data to the same transaction list and it expands over time? Do you at some point consolidate historical data? Thanks

Multi Dimension Pivoting on Single Source Dimension

Hi Community - I've noticed that if we have a multiple properties of an existing dimension mapped to a single dimension I'm unable to pivot the data multiple ways.Is there a setting or adjustment that can be made so both can be displayed or is this a new request for the Product team.Example: We have a global account id called Global ID and we have proerties mapped to it related to the different product cohorts of that customer (Global_Cohort , Product1_Cohort, Product2_Cohort, Product3_Cohort ) which are all aligned to a single dimension Cohort_Months . When pivoting my data or adding it as a page selector I can only choose one of them and then am unable to choose another even though the Product1_Cohort is a different value vs Product2_Cohort. So if I want to show a matrix of this data I cannot do it. Have you encountered this issue before? Is there a solution beyond creating multiple Cohort_Months dimensions for each product?

YTD in KPI view

Hello, I want to show a YTD view for a KPI where it sums each month automatically. For example, in January I would be able to see budget vs actual and in February it would be Jan + Feb and so on. Is there any work around for this? This is the current KPI view that I have but I have manually filtered on the month. The view doesn’t work if i choose another month.

Limit to property

Dear community, is there any way I can bring values from a metric’s property to another property in a dimension that takes a value from a line all while specifying the property not to go beyond to make sure it takes the one before the current month? P.S: I tried to use Remove LASTNONBLANK and it didn’t solve what I wanted.

When creating an aggregate field in Pigment on the Grid View, you can see Totals or when using Show Value As you can see items like Revenue per customer (Revenue and # of Customers are two separate metrics).

Converting a number formatted date to a normal date format

Sometimes the data that you upload in Pigment just isn't perfect. And that's ok, because nobody is perfect!In this article, I want to show you how you can convert a numeric date format (usually from Excel) to a date in Pigment. This date can then be used to convert to another time dimension like a month, a quarter or a year. All credit to @Remi for coming up with this methodology.Maybe you recognize this format below from your work in Excel, sometimes your date shows as a number.Example from Excel When your import file contains this number formatted date, there is an easy way to convert it in Pigment without first going back to Excel. As the number format in Excel is basically a calculation of a set start date (1-1-1900) + a number of days, we can use this same calculation to retrieve the date from the number. Use the Date formula to calculate your result as in the example below. Date(1900,1,1) + Date Formatted Number -2 Date conversion example (dates in MM-DD-YYYY) The reason for the

LASTNONBLANK to return dimension from target metric?

Hi Pigment team! I’m trying to set up some cohort modeling for launches. I have an input metric, of dimensions [Partner] and [Cohort Month], where Cohort Month is a 0-indexed integer list. The inputs are the number of live clients in that month (it’s chunky, usually a piecewise rollout for the first 3-6 months). Let’s say partner A’s launch is coming up. Launch month is Cohort Month 0: 0 : 1 : 2 : etc. Partner A 100 500 1000 etc. I want to know when to switch from this manual input metric to my growth curve assumption for the forecast, so I have to map these cohort months to calendar months. I think the best way to do this is to have a mapping metric which returns the lastnonblank [Cohort Month] as an integer from the input metric outlined above. I can then use TIMEDIM to add that number of cohort months out from the launch m

Manage EUR cst & FX columns in Transaction List

Hello, In my Transaction List, I have a column called EUR CST that I calculate from a variable FX column. However, this EUR CST is associated with rates for the year 2022.We have just received the first figures for 2023, but we are now using a different rate (the rates are in a transaction list, with two columns: rate 22 and rate 23).What is the best way/best practice to switch to rate 23 for the 2023 figures?However, I would like to avoid doing this every year (in 2024, it would be nice if it automatically switched to the 2024 rate). Is there a way to do this? Because all my metrics depend on this column.Thank you,Alexandre

Filtering Views - When can you filter by properties?

Hi! For creating filtering views, why aren’t some dimensions allowed to be filtered by properties? For example, I have a dimension in my data hub for balance sheet accounts and some additional properties within that dimension, but I’m unable to filter by those properties. What I can do instead is add BS_Accounts → Property as a filter on the right-side bar, and restrict it to what I want to filter Filtering View unable to select “Property” for Dimension “BS_Accounts”: Filtering “BS_Accounts” Via Pages in Sidebar and Restricting Dropdown List:

Hello !I would like to duplicate a board for our German team (I have currently created a sales reporting for our French and Belgian team). However, if I duplicate this board and apply “Germany” in my Country dimension page, it also applies this country to my other board (for France and Belgium)… Do you know how I can unlink the 2 boards so that when I select a country, it doesn’t change the country in the other board?Thanks!!Elodie
