ITEM() does not find data from Dimension

I am looking to normalise some Country data from different sources in different formats (e.g. some countries have full name others ISO codes). I have been using the ITEM() function to map all correct countries to our Master Country dimension.I was now planning on doing something similar by pulling in the ISO code dimension which is also linked to the Country dimension. However, the ITEM() function does not seem to return any values which confuses me. Ultimately, I am planning to then pull in the Country dimension from the ISO code and combine the two country fields via IF sentences.

[NEED HELP] Connect Pigment with an External Service Through an API request

I am currently testing an external API integration in Pigment to retrieve a response and display it within the platform. Setup Details: I configured an API connection in Pigment. On the Action board, I added a card with a button to trigger the API call. When I click the button, the API call is successfully triggered. Issue: Although the API call is being made, I am not receiving any JSON response within Pigment. The response does not seem to be captured or displayed. Questions: Is Pigment’s external API setup only meant for POST requests, or can it also handle GET requests and return responses? Can I retrieve the API response and manipulate or display it within Pigment? If yes, what is the proper way to map or use the response JSON in Pigment? ​@Julien | ​@Igor P | ​@CDALMAY | ​@Thu Mai | ​@Jared Dolich

How to link variables together?

Hello,I made a subset in my Month dimension list, in order to create a boolean metric that has Months in rows and columns. I named this subset ‘MonthTimeIntel’. Basically I wanted to create a boolean that checks what the trailing twelve months are for each month. Something like this:So far, so good. I then use this metric as a filter for my charts and graphs where I only want to show the last twelve months. Also: so far, so good. But lastly - I don't want another page selector on my dashboards. Because now the page selector for ‘MonthTimeIntel’ shows up on my dashboards, but I don't want that. Is there a way so that the MonthTimeIntel page selector moves in unison with my Month selector and so I can hide the MonthTimeIntel selector? I understand that they are two different dimensions, but it would be great if they can somehow come together.I hope my question is clear :-) Thanks for helping me out!Best, Bas

The dynamic variable is not updating according to the metrics.

Hello Pigment Community,I have created a variable for each metric, and in the table, I have applied the individual variables to their corresponding metrics. I then pivoted the table so that the metrics are in the page selector. The issue I'm encountering is that when I apply a variable to one metric and then try to apply a different variable for another metric, it doesn't update as expected. I need variables to be updated as according to my selection. For example, I have two P&L metrics: Salary Cost and Expense. I’ve set individual variables for both metrics. However, when I apply these variables to different selections on the board, it shows the same variable for both metrics, even though I recently applied different variables for each.Could anyone assist with this?

Combine MOVINGAVERAGE and PREVIOUS functions for run rate planning

I would like to write a formula where the intent is for the metric to calculate the average of the prior 3 months of the metric itself.I envisioned the syntax being something like the following, though it says MOVINGAVERAGE doesn’t support recursive mode.MOVINGAVERAGE(PREVIOUS(month),3)I understand that I could use MOVINGAVERAGE without PREVIOUS if the object being averaged was a separate metric, but the use case I have requires the formula to reference metric itself. Is there any solution or workaround for this?

Push data from Pigment to Looker

Hi CommunityHope you are well.I am wondering if anyone is using Google Looker as a dashboard/BI tool to report on data from Pigment and is there a way to push data from Pigment to Google Looker seamlessly? What I can find in Pigment documentation is pushing data from Looker to Pigment but not the other way around.The work around I’ve been using is pushing data from Pigment to GoogleSheet and from GoogleSheet to Looker but that requires manual refreshes and it’s not automatically synced (e.g daily) to share across the organisation with other users.ThanksNeo :)

Run action button to clear a metric if a notification is sent

There’s a grid in which employees are assigned to a project.Metrics: initial project and final projectIf both these projects are different for a specific employee, notification in pigment is working fine i.e. If there’s a change in project, to notify the relevant team leader of projects (both initial and final) - P1 and P2.However, there’s a metric called : “Override Project” , which can also derive Final Project.If there’s already a change in project name for Employee ABC (from P1 to P2 project), and then override of ‘P3’ is done (Now, P1 to P3 project), notification should be sent to team leader of projects (both initial and final) - P1 and P3 [P3 Must].Currently, triggering metric for workflow notification is Change in Project? with employee dimension.How can I check the logic again?

Pulling the last available value with BY ->

I have the formula below: (('EE_Comp_01_SabbaticalAccrual_P&L_ReAllocated'    * EE_BU_AllocationFinal    )[BY: -> EE_Card_Department,EE_Card_SalaryCurrency, 'EE_Card_P&L', 'EE_Card_Direct/Indirect'])The highlighted in red, assigned my employees to the department that they belong for each month based on that metric. INSTEAD, I would like to just assign them to the last department they belonged to for each version.  I tried inserting “BY LASTNONBLANK: → “  but it did not seem to resolve the issue. See screenshot for the stracture of the EE_Card_Department below:  Basically I want to adjust the formula above, to assign this employee only to department FBS Revenue.  Any ideas?

Page selector reverts to all items if variable metric returns empty

Hi, I’m working on a board that uses complex security and I want to limit the items in the page selector. The security model is based on cost centres and employees, and others.I want to display those employees in the page selector that match certain criteria (employee.criteria = true). For this, I have created a metric and used it as a dynamic variable (Technical Employees), then assigned it to the page selector.Due to the security model, some users will have no access to given employees, and therefore the metric used for the variable will return nothing, which is correct.However, in this situation, the board ignores the variable in the employee page selector, and incorrectly reverts to displaying all items to the user: Suppose I don’t use the variable in the page selector, but manually select the employees that match my criteria in the Available items. In that case, the page selector will return an empty result if the user has no access to those employees, which is the expected behavi
