Hi Pigment team! I am trying to setup a reallocation logic. Can you please help with creating the formula? Right now, the total cost $1,517,587 is booked all in US (screenshot 1), but I want the cost to be re-allocated to international countries (screenshot 2). You will see the total still matches with screenshot 1. For my another metric for reallocation, what is best way to create a metric to show a table as screenshot 3?  ​​​​​​ Thanks in advance for reviewing!

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! 

Hi!I’m trying to count all the “No Vendor Name” entries from my transaction list but keep getting this error that the Property is not unique. Final Vendor Name property in the transaction list cannot be unique since there are multiple transactions under the same vendor.IF('PL GL Data'.'PL Cat 1'='PL Cat 1'."Non-Headcount Costs",COUNTALLOF('PL GL Data'.'Final Vendor Name'."No Vendor Name")) Can anyone please suggest any modifications in my current formula or any other way to count this specific “No Vendor Name” from the transaction list.Thank you!

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? Dependency Diagram in combination with Settings > Libraries? Or is there a quicker way?

    The purpose of this article is to explain how you can export CSV data from Pigment and transform it into Excel so that the data is separated into columns.When you export data from Pigment, data is separated by semicolon. If you are planning to use the data in Excel, this is not very useful as all of your data grouped in a small number of columns. As a result we need to perform transformation on the extract before we can use the data.Steps to transform the data in ExcelTo transform the data in Excel, you should follow the steps below: Download CSV on Pigment   Open a new Excel workbook    Select “Get Data” -> “From File” -> “From Text/CSV”  Select the exported file (the one that was downloaded from Pigment)   Change the delimiter to semicolon if not selected automatically. Press Load Your data should now be loaded in a format that can be used for Excel analysis
