Hi Team I have a use case where i have certain questions as a dimension and there are in total 160 of them. We ask each property manager these question but for lets say Property A , we ask 50 questions and for property B we ask all 160 of them.  How do i apply access right so only relevant questions get assigned to each of the properties? It doesnt need user access , just need to define it by property itself and questions. Secondly, then i need to create a metric to track progress rate as to how many of these questions are still blank and for that as well, i need to divide it by only the applicable questions. So for example property A have 50 questions to answer and he have only done 5 so far, then my progress rate should be 5/50 i.e 10% not 5/160 which is taking the whole 160 questions in the original list of questions. ThanksMusab

How can you adapt the index match function in a transaction list to handle a many-to-many relationship, where a combination of 'Region' and 'Department' might correspond to multiple 'Project Codes' and vice versa?For example, both Region '1' and Department 'A' could be linked to multiple Project Codes, and a single Project Code could be applicable to various combinations of Regions and Departments. What techniques or formulas can we use to index match on these two properties simultaneously while managing such a many-to-many relationship?

Hello to all Pigment enthusiasts,To estimate my number of Headcounts over the coming months (Forecast), I'm taking the Headcounts on an HR board (here with Position ID with Contract) that you see on the lines in this metric.(Dimensions: Position ID, Month, Period Type) I'd like to be able to push the values over the following months. Concretely, even if the person (PO 312) is recruited in March 2024, he must be present in all the following months and therefore should have 1 in April 2024, May 2024…Many thanks for your help

Hi!I want to add “Weeknumber” to my “Day” dimension.Since WEEKNUM() is not available, I want to use the equivalent of SHIFT/PREVIOUS to calculate the weeknumber.I have a dimension called Weeknumber (1-53), and would like to do something along the following line, in order map Days → Weeknumbers: //Check if first day of year, IF(LEFT(Day.'dd-MM-YYYY',5)="01-01" ,ITEM(1,Weeknumber.Week),// Else: check if workday = Monday then add 1 to week countIF(Day.'Day of Week' = 'Day of Week"."Monday",PREVIOUS(Day.Weeknumber)+1,//IF NOT Monday, then keep current weeknumPREVIOUS(Day.Weeknumber))However, both PREVIOUS and SHIFT does not seem to work. Is there a workaround?

Hello,I have a metric where the data type is the month dimension and am struggling to figure out how to convert it to a Boolean metric with month as a dimension of that.The first metric is an assumed/forecasted launch date for each customer (ignoring that these are old customers and therefore in historical periods). With the second metric I am trying to convert that assumed launch date to a Boolean where any month is “TRUE” that is greater than the assumed launch date in the first metric. For example, the first line here would correspond with an assumed launch date of Aug-23, the second line with an assumed launch date of Jun-23 and so on (also ignoring that these are historical periods).

I am trying to create multi year P&L views, with months in the columns.  After the last month of the year, I want to show the annual total, YoY $ value, and YoY % change. (Months->Annual Total->YoY $ change->YoY % change).  The challenges I’m encountering are as follows - example with numbered notes shown in snippet below:Inability to choose position of aggregators.  Pros of using aggregators vs calculated items are that gross margin % calcs roll up correctly, and the values are retained when I collapse the months and only want to show the annual total.    Gross margin % calculated items roll up incorrectly.  It displays the sum of the months’ percentages, rather than the annual gross profit value divided by the annual revenue value.  Pro of calculated item is ability to choose column positioning.  Is there any way to hide a value in a calculated item?  The YoY % calculation displays a nonsensical value when calculating against
