Hello, i would like to do the sum or the average of last 12 months before the switchover month. Thanks for your help

Hey team, I have an issue to chose the proper modifiers in one of the metric blocks. I have a quota values by month by sales rep and wanted to sum these values into the quarters as a first step. So I’m writing a formula= Metric block with quotas by month [by sum: Month.Quarter]Next step is to use in quarter seasonality which is by Month, see the screenshot below. Total for a quarter is 100%. What’s the syntax to spread quarterly quota value to months ( I was testing add constant but it didn’t work) and then use the in quarter seasonality?

Hi,What’s the criteria to have a another level of breakdown?I was able to have two levels of break down for one of the metric but for the boxed one “R&D SAAS Total” another level of break down doesn’t show up even though the  dimensions are all different for each level that I wanted to select. Can anyone share what is the rule/condition to be followed for such multiple level of break down in a table?Thank you! 

Hello, can you please help me with this formula ?I would like to do a formula similar to vlookup between Unique item values (text format) of two transaction lists (check if a transaction list contains (or not) the Unique item values of the other transaction list → if Unique ID of TL1 is in TL2 then yes, otherwise no) Is it possible to use vlookup equivalent between text format values, or do I have to create a dimension ? Thanks in advance!

Hey Team, I have a transaction list with all employees in the Workforce planning and in the same application we created the Employee ID with various properties mapped to this dimension like country, department etc. I would say classic Employee ID dimension block with a mapping. Now we have a need to add additional dimension property at the Employee Id level for a respective department which can be added manually employee by employee by the other team who makes the allocation of sales forces in the other application i.e. it’s not a Workforce app. What type of block we should create to have a kind of a table where we have a list of employees and then column with the list of properties for the allocation?PS. We don’t want to do it at the transaction list level due to security and also this infotramtion will never be available in our HR system to import it. Thanks!

Is there a workaround?Regards,Adam

Hi, all, I am currently working on a 3 segment cashflow model within pigment. We are currently trying to model the operating cash flow but are stuck with an issue regarding a circular dependency.Within the model, we calculate cash flows (investing, operating and financing). The operating cash flows use management fees to calculate the tax paid, however the management fees are based on total assets which include cash and cash equivalents, which in turn is based on the net cash flow (derived from the combination of investing, operating and financing cash flows). This ends up with a circular reference. Our excel document avoids the circular reference by utilizing the net cash flow from the previous quarter, however doing this in pigment ends with the same circular reference  

I have a transaction list with a date as a dimension.  This is done so that I can leverage the “delete existing items / limited scope” import functionality as the source data is purged after a 3 year rolling window.  Because the date has to be a dimension to do this, I am having difficulty creating the most basic functions on handling the date in my import.  It seems that every date function gives me an error that an argument must be of type date.  Is there a function I can use to convert the dimension into a date type (i.e., a nested function) so I can use the date functions?  I realize I could just change the field in the transaction list to date but I really want to leverage the limited scope functionality.  Any insights would be much appreciated. Kevin  

Dear community, I hope you are all well.Concerning the new pigment update of sheet view.How is it possible to do an XLOOKUP from another sheet? Thank you

I currently have an Employee Dimension, consisting of four columns:Employee ID | Office | Contract Start Date | Contract End DateI would like to use this to calculate the number of employees in each month, grouped by different offices, as shown in the following figure. The pseudocode would be something like: Count(Employee.EmployeeID, Date.Month > Employee.ContractStartDate && Date.Month < Employee.ContractEndDate)Do you know how to implement this calculation?Thank you in advance!

Hi Everyone Is there a way to bring in sheet’s view calculations that we do based on existing metrics and use them in to create a metric?  ThanksMusab

Hi Community: The problem: I have 2 transaction list with identical fields. I want to join them together in one single transaction list.How to do it?

I’d like to create a metric dimensionalized by Month with a Number data format. I want each cell to contain (1) If actuals, the number of days in that month (2) if the current month, the number of days from the start of the month to the current day (3) if forecast, zero. Can anyone please advise on how to do this? I know that I will probably need an input cell with the current date since there is no equivalent of the excel TODAY function. I tried using the ‘DAYSINPERIOD’ formula but couldn't get Pigment to accept the formula / deliver a result.

I have a dimension that is over 100,000 items.  I am able to import all the items from a csv file.  However, once loaded, I can only view the first 100,000 items.  There is a menu at the bottom of the dimension list that makes it seem like I can view the next 100,000 items but it does not do anything, and I cannot view the next items past 100,000.  I want to delete the very last item, but I cannot access it.Not sure if it is related, but I have the same issue for transaction lists that are over 100,000.  I can only view the first 100,000 items.  This is problematic if I would like to edit the list or manually add an item.
