Dear community,We would like to create a Price/Volume effect bridge from Budget to Actuals. We were thinking to create a metric for each KPI (Origin Price, Destination price etc.) but that means we create many metrics as the formula use many different KPI for few bridges. Is there a faster way to do it ?Thanks a lot,

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

Dear Community,I need to set an expiration year.I am using the formula “Year + 10” on a Metric with only Year Dimension.I would like this to be more friendly to the end user.I would like to set a metric that i can add to year (ex= Year + “metric”) . I tried with a metric with no Dimensions with a value 5. It did not work.The end is for  the user just by changing the metric at the “metric” would change the Expiration Year. 

Dears,I want  to creat a metric or a property dimension where I get the last non blank dimension from a transaction list that also has some constraints like certain dimensions from that transaction list be equal to something. I have the following formula:'01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Billing Unit'[BY LASTNONBLANK: '01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Company or Partner Id'][REMOVE:'01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Product Final'='MRR-D Product final'."Licences"]Is says that I need to add as a dimension  MRR-D Product final, so even if I just want to use it as a constraint do I need to add to the dimensions in the metric structure?  Thank you very much in advance,Jose

Hi AllIm trying to build out the company commissions based on NRR.I want to be able to calculate the corresponding commission % based on the NRR we have forecastedSo each NRR% is equivalent to a Commission %. eg. 80-85% NRR = 0.05% commission. 86-90%=0.1% Commission and so on.There are 8 bandings, so If statements seems quite long winded, but possible that way. Wondering if someone can think of an easier way?Thanks!

Hello Pigment community, I am trying to compute a table showing in a column the YTD revenue, but the YTD can not be fixed on a specific month but be variable (if we want to see the YTD for 2 months ago for example).  The only way i saw how to do a YTD revenue is to use a “cumulate” in the calculated items, when i add a calculated item on the dimension “month”. But if i want to change my month from the “current month” to another month, like two months ago, i will have to go back to the calculated item in the pivot.  Is there a way to change the “item” in “calculated item” easily directly from the pages of the table, so that we can change it directly from the dashboards ? Or if this does not work like that, is there a way for me to be able to get a YTD computation that can be edited directly from a dashboard ?  Thanks a lot for your help !

Hello Pigment Community,We have an automatic import set up connecting Pigment to our accounts in Xero. See below screenshots for a visual.For one of our legal entities, we do not have the “Department” field set up in Xero, but we need it in Pigment. As such, I’ll need to assign a “Department” to each transaction line of the import. As you can see by the screenshots, currently the departments are automatically being set to “blank”.For my purposes, I think the quickest way to achieve the department assignation would be to go line by line in my import and manually assign a “Department”. This entity is being phased out, so this is a one time clean up job, so happy to do (a bit of) manual work in assigning the departments as opposed to setting up a more permanent mapping logic.My questions/concerns:If I spend the time to do this, will future instances of the data import “wipe” these manual assignations I’ve made? To encapsulate my question, is there any tips & tricks, or maybe any pitfa

Hi, I am trying to find a quick way to get an AVG of 1 out 4 dimensions in the metric and use it for the further calculations. I have data based on cohort, with Cohort Month (on rows) and Cohort Age (on collumns). I would like to take and avg of cohort months and only have Cohort Age Dimension in. I was trying AVGOF formula with exclude modifier but that did not work. Also, BY AVG: CohortMonth, but that keeps the metric in. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have two transaction lists:TBL_employees - a transaction list that includes information relating to each employee at the end of each monthTBL_accounting - a transaction list that includes all the journal entries from our accounting softwareIn the TBL_accounting we have a dimension called EMPLOYEE_ID, this dimension contains the ID of an employee for all journal entries that relate to a specific employee (ex. salaries), and a dimension MONTH that contains the month of the journal entry.In the TBL_employees we have the same two dimensions - EMPLOYEE_id and MONTH as well as a dimension called EMPLOYEE_category which specifies if the employee is a manager or an individual contributor.What I want to do is add the dimension EMPLOYEE_category into TBL_accounting using the EMPLOYEE_id and MONTH dimensions as filters but I can’t find a formula that works.The challenge is that the EMPLOYEE_category can vary for the same EMPLOYEE_id depending on the month (ex. an employee being promoted), s

If you create 3 Models, what is the easiest way to check which Dimensions, Metrics from one Model are used in another?Case: a copy has been made of a working Model and updated. Too many updates have been made and we want to make the copied Model the new Model, but we need to check which Blocks to reconnect. What is the best way to do that?
