I’m trying to start making hypotheses for next year's BP based on percentage growth.I started with Revenue but I find myself with the following problem that I am not able to solve.I simply want to formulate that the Revenue, for example, of January 2024 is that of January of the previous year  *  % growth. This % I have entered into a metric that I have created where I have put a % growth for each month of the year 24. However, I do not want the Revenue metrics already established in Pigment to vary or be modified, since they are the ones that give us our Revenue figures for different versions (actuals, forecast, target, etc.).Basically, what I want is to filter the information to which I want this % of growth to be applied, which in this case is only for the year 2024

Hi Pigment Experts, I have the following challenge. I have two properties in a an Employee dimension list (Department_Apr and Department_Mar). Employees may move between departments and these properties are reflecting that. Then I have a metric by Employee which I want to pivot by Department. I use the formula below and it works well. My question is is there a way to write formula so the metrics is either by Department_Apr or Department_May dependently on a Scenario i.e. dependently on input to another metric? The way it works now is that Department_Apr or Deparment_Mar are hardcoded but how to make these values a variable?  if('Is Forecast (Headcount)', '361. Total Headcount Cost - A+F') [remove: '01.

Hello,I have this Table with 2 differents metrics (volumes L3M and volumes L6M to L3M) with Var and Var (%) as duplicates of volumes L3M. I analyze it month by month (basically the last month). I would like to have 1 view with top Decliners on the current month (automatically done each month), i.e the doctors who have the worst Var (%) (top 20) In another view I would like exactly the same but the best Var (%) (top 20).It seems impossible to do it with table view… Can you help me please ? Thanks

Hi Pigment Community!I am struggling with a problem and was wondering if any of you could help me solve it. The Issue: I'm working with a transaction block imported from Excel in Pigment, and unfortunately, not all the data is filled in. Specifically, I'm dealing with the Country/Region column in my All Deals transaction block. This column is dimensioned by Country Mapping, which, in turn, is connected to the Country dimension (screenshots attached for context). The snag I'm hitting is figuring out how to apply a formula that allows me to specify what information from my dimension to use when populating blank cells.The Goal: I aim to create a function in my Country/Region column that fills in blank cells with the dimension "Missing Data" for easy identification later on. The idea is to check the cell contents – if the cell is blank, I want to populate it with 'Missing Data,' sourced from my Country Mapping dimension. If the cell is not blank, I want to leave it unchanged. For instance,

Hi, I am looking to combine a transaction list (actuals) with a forecast metric using a cost centre dimension.I have the cost centre dimension in my transaction actuals but in the forecast it is a property in another dimension (property type is dimension and selected as the same one in the actuals). What function should i be using in my formula in order to bring both in combined at the cost centre level? 

How can I show the scenario variance and YoY variance in the same table? I’d also like to be able to collapse month » quarter » year as needed. Currently, it’s showing YoY columns for all scenarios. Also, is there a way to restrict which metrics a calculated item pertains to? Lastly, is there a way to hide columns in a table? Thanks!

I am unable to properly display the metric in a chart legend below the line chart.  The first screenshot has the legend in the bottom right and everything is fine.  But when I moved it to the bottom center, the second value is not displayed.  This chart is in a second view with one of the metrics hidden so perhaps that is causing the issue.  But clearly the data is being displayed as needed but without the proper legend text.  Any help to fix this would be much appreciated. 

I am trying to rebuild our Balance Sheet reporting from NetSuite into Pigment using a Saved Search. However, because our Balance Sheet is consolidated between entities that use different currencies, the Saved Search transaction amounts do not match the reported amounts in NetSuite by period. This seems to be a difference in currency exchange rate methodologies between the way the Saved Search pulls FX (by transaction) and the way the Balance Sheet report pulls FX (by reporting period). Has anyone been able to solve this and pull in historical Balance Sheets month over month to match the reporting?

Hi! Is there a way I can change the color setting such that Unbilled and Billed dimensions are in different colors? Thanks in advance!!   

Hi,I am trying to build a balance sheet in Pigment.My saved search in Netsuite lists all transactions but, to show the balance, I need to sum all of the transactions from all previous months.  How do I do this in Pigment?Alternatively, given I don’t actually need balances broken down by transaction in Pigment, would I be better off to try and find a way of extracting balances from Netsuite so that I can use those?  (though I am not sure how I do that so any idea on that gratefully received too) 

I was able to Breakdown by Department>Internal Group property for one metric in a table but I’m not able to Breakdown by Department again for another metricI’m able to breakdown by department in either of those metrics but not both. I’m using breakdown option at various places in this table which allows the same dimension to be broken down among different metrics multiple times but not this one specifically. What could be the reason for this?

I have an app with scenarios. Scenarios are enabled:But when I create a metric in security folder, there are no scenarios and values are propagated to all scenarios. But I want to lock/unlock write rights for specific scenarios, so I need scenarios on the security folder too. If I move the metric outside the security folder, the scenarios appear, but then this metric cannot be used in the access rights rules (which is not intuitive).Any tips, thoughts?

Hi, I struggle to understand how NETWORKDAYS function can be used.

Day of week'.Working = true)where Day of week is a dimension I created (below). I am getting 150 as the result of the formula which is obviously wrong. Help please :)
