Filter Excluding Blank Booleans

Is there a way to filter both “blank” and “non-blank” FALSE boolean cells in one filter?I am trying to filter on check boxes that have not been checked, but however I filter (= FALSE, <> TRUE, etc), it still excludes “blank” boolean boxes, aka boolean boxes that have not been checked yet. Is there a way for a single filter to include both “blank” and “non-blank” FALSE check boxes?

Aligning dimensionality across metrics

Hi Community,I’ve created a Commissions Forecast metric to calculate the difference between YTD Commissions and Total Target Commissions. The value is then spread over the remaining months left in the current year. I’d like to maintain the values from this metric and have it to flow through to my Total Compensation metric which has more dimensions defined in the metric structure. Any tips on how to accomplish this? Commissions Forecast Metric Dimensions: Department, MonthTotal Compensation Metric Dimensions: Department, Month, ID, Employment Type, Employment Status, Location, State.

Dimension Property

I’m trying to map one dimension in my transaction list to another using the lastnotblank function: ‘Pigment Dealer Model’ is the transaction list and ‘Dealer Type’ and ‘Dealership Id’ are both list properties; sometimes when I use the lastnonblank function it will work and other times, I get the error below: Is there a reason this function would be working sometimes, and not other times? When it works it produces this:  Any help would be much appreciated and please feel free to ask for more detail if needed.

YTD column

Hi!I’m trying to create a new column with YTD figures in a table where we see EBITDA by market.The logic we’re trying to find is to be able to tell Pigment that this column has to be the sum of the actual months and to group it all in a single column.  That is to say, it would be something similar to a filtering option, just as we can filter by month to see the info for a specific month, so that we can choose to see only the YTD figures.The idea is that it would be something dynamic and as we close new months that become current months Pigment would understand that the YTD info has to be updated.

Creating an Access Rights Board

Hi there, More and more people in my company are using Pigment. We have different access rights settings (By Cost Center/ By Business Model/ By Country etc...).Today, I'd like to create a board that allows each Pigment user to see which dimensions they have access to and which they don't.I can of course create a new application by making all accesses available to all users , but I want the user in question to be able to see only his or her accesses.I thought of creating Rights accesses by user ("User A" will have an access Read/No Write only to "User A") but you can not, as far as I know, have 2 similar dimensions in a Metric.Any suggestion?Many thanks

Board customization qustions

Hi Community,I’m trying to create some nice boards and have a few questions on presentation elements that I’d like to incorporate, but don’t seem to be possible in Pigment. If possible, please let me know how, or if not possible, if there are any workarounds. Are you able to change background colours on the board, or the font? (for example - we do a lot of our reporting on a black background, so it would be nice to change from the default white. Or be able to align other formatting to our internal reporting themes) Screenshot 1 Can you remove gridlines on a Grid? (again, a lot of our reports are against a black background, so it’s a bit of an eye sore to have the white gridlines there) Screenshot 2 Is there a way to apply cell formatting to a wide range of cells, or a whole table at a time? Currently what’s happening is if I format “Revenue” for example with $ and M for millions, only that one line will change, and not everything that is grouped (Screenshot 3). Updating this has become
