Filtering all metrics of a table

Is there a way to filter from the view all metrics in 1 filter to exclude zero values from a table? If there is a table with a lot of data & we want to connect it to a gsheet, having many rows with zero values slow down things.

Board pages

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

Hello community,I contact you regarding an issue of indirect costs allocation to several list items.I have (fictive number) 10K€ of indirect costs categorized as “No checkout ID” which i want to allocate to each item of my item lists based on an allocation key.To do so i’ve created 2 metrics based on 2 unique dimensions :1. “Id_checkout” (Item list to which the direct costs and indirect costs are to be allocated)2.  “Month” (because the allocation is based on a monthly basis)First metric - Checkout level test - Consolidation of indirect costs→ Filter on Indirect costs (“No checkout Id”)→ Dimensions : Date (Month), Id_Checkout  Second metric - Allocation Key Fees Test - Indirect cost allocation Key→ Logic is to divide the direct costs allocated to each item list by the total cost of the month1.

Cumulate amount for a quarter and keep it only on the last month of the quarter

Hello Pigment Community, I am trying to calculate the quarterly bonus of my employees and shift it by one month to simulate the payout on the first month after the quarter end.I will detail below the steps of my calculation and where I am stuck:My bonus expenses are by month. I was able to sum the quarterly amount with a [BY SUM: Month.Quarter] modifier. I want to add again the “Month” dimension and put this quarterly amount on the last month of the quarter only (or first month of the quarter, it doesn’t matter). This is where I am stuck. If I use a [BY CONSTANT: Month.Quarter] - the amount is written on all months of the quarter, and then I am unable to filter only on the first or last month of the quarter. The last step will be to SHIFT this amount by 1 month to simulate the payout on the first month after the quarter ends.  I would appreciate your help if you already worked on this topic! Thanks in advance,Steven

Is there a way to standardize special characters within Dimension Blocks?

Wondering if there is a way to handle special characters that are present when dimensionalizing a text field where they are initially present.  In this example, the tilde over the “e” in cafe shows properly on the “Channel Name” of Type Text, but does not within the “Parent” field of type Dimension.

Create a unique property list automatically from a Transaction Table

Hello Pigment Community, We are importing our General Ledger in a Transaction Table. In this Transaction Table, we have 2 key information that we are trying to rework:Document Number CC ID (= it’s the department ID) Our issue is that we have multiple lines for the same document number with multiple CC ID. Our objective is to get a unique list of document numbers with a unique CC ID attached to it. We know in advance that a specific list of CC IDs are not relevant and that we want to exclude them. If you look at the screenshot below, we have multiple lines for the Document Number “JOUFR12797”. We want to attach to this document number which CC ID it is flowing to. Our standard CC ID is a set of 3 digits, followed by the name of the department. Here, it is “340 - Customer Experience”. The others CC IDs that you see on the screenshot (“4 - P&L Allocation..” and “5 - P&L allocation”) are not relevant and we don’t want them in our unique list. What we want is basically a unique list
