Hello,I have a metric (dimensions Month and Employee) where I have the Country of an Employee by Month (for example : from Jan 22 To Jun 22 → France, From Jul 22 to Dec 22 → UK).I have a Transaction with financial accounts with columns of Month and Employee ID.I need to get the Country of the Employee in the Transaction, according to the Month. How can I do that ? Thanks,Alexandre

Hello Pigment Community, I am trying to calculate the quarterly bonus of my employees and shift it by one month to simulate the payout on the first month after the quarter end.I will detail below the steps of my calculation and where I am stuck:My bonus expenses are by month. I was able to sum the quarterly amount with a [BY SUM: Month.Quarter] modifier. I want to add again the “Month” dimension and put this quarterly amount on the last month of the quarter only (or first month of the quarter, it doesn’t matter). This is where I am stuck. If I use a [BY CONSTANT: Month.Quarter] - the amount is written on all months of the quarter, and then I am unable to filter only on the first or last month of the quarter. The last step will be to SHIFT this amount by 1

Wondering if there is a way to handle special characters that are present when dimensionalizing a text field where they are initially present.  In this example, the tilde over the “e” in cafe shows properly on the “Channel Name” of Type Text, but does not within the “Parent” field of type Dimension.

Hi Pigment team,I need your help on creating a metric that reflects the values of prior period for a given metric, in a flexible way that allows me to change to quarters, months and doesn’t lose accuracy when aggregating.Thanks for your help :)

Hello Pigment Community, We are importing our General Ledger in a Transaction Table. In this Transaction Table, we have 2 key information that we are trying to rework:Document Number CC ID (= it’s the department ID) Our issue is that we have multiple lines for the same document number with multiple CC ID. Our objective is to get a unique list of document numbers with a unique CC ID attached to it. We know in advance that a specific list of CC IDs are not relevant and that we want to exclude them. If you look at the screenshot below, we have multiple lines for the Document Number “JOUFR12797”. We want to attach to this document number which CC ID it is flowing to. Our standard CC ID is

Hi Team,I just want to know is their any way by which pigment can automatically generate some number/code to a line item so that unicity remains in the list and once the code is allotted to a line item it can’t be changed even after the line item is deleted.   Thank you in advance 

Hi Community!Love our trace dependent feature for tracking interlinked metrics/data sources but I’m wondering if there is any way I can see from a dimension which metrics/applications it is being used in. Wanting to do some cleanup of our dimensions and prior to deleting I want to find a way to ensure I won’t break anything after deleting.Thanks!

Hello community! I’v created several boards with sames tables but for different stakeholders (Top management, Finance and People). However people should not see details of people department, Top management should not see top management department for confidentiality matters. How can i create access rights on a dimension ? In fact, all tables have the dimension “Direction” and I want to create access accoding to this dimension (ie people could not have access to people). Thanks a lot!

Hi Pigment team:I’m trying to format the formulas so I can make them easier to read.For instance, I have a formula that is an addition of 4 items and goes on for 5 lines (difficult to read), I’m looking to structure the formula in 4 lines (easier to digest):= Item 1 +Item 2 +Item 3 +Item 4 Is this something we can do? Thanks in advance :D

I think this is a simple problem, but it probably isn’t. I have a metric (Metric - Is locked) of type: Dimension (Locked) with only Yes or No as options. Dimension: Version Metric: Yes/No Actuals Yes Plan Yes Forecast No  Can I easily flip this around to show the inverse of the metric (here using firstnonblank)?Dimension: Locked Metric: Version Yes Actuals No Forecast  

Hello Pigment Community, I need your help on calculating merit increase for existing employees. To give you more context, our merit increase calculation is made of:1. The annual package of an employee → this is the basis for our calculation. 2. The merit increase % : it will be applied to the annual package and is cumulative through the years. 3. The merit increase eligibility: we calculate it based on the start date of the employee. 4. The timing / effective date of the merit increase: it is the month the merit increase will be effective.We are currently stuck on the last part, which is the timing of the merit increase.I will explain quickly each component below and will explain more in details why we are stuck on the effective date and what we try to achieve.  1 : The annual package of an employee.Let’s say we have an employee making 40,000 EUR a year.

Hi Pigment community, My case description:I have 3 Transaction List [TL], which have accounting transactions, I added to those list identical dimension.Then I have created a “Staging Metric” that’s adding up for 3 [TL] the column “USD Net value” (number property), on the following dimensions [by: Company, ‘Company and Account’, Month]Note: ‘Company and Account’ dimension is the lowest level and from where stem the Reporting dimensions (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3).The metric aggregates well, and adds up the transaction values at each reporting level and at each time level (month, year, quarter).Then I want to create a metric that does the cumulative for “USD Net value”, so I can get the values for the “Balance Sheet” cumulating on a monthly basis. I use the following syntax:Cumulate('Staging Metric'[Filter:'Company and Account’.Report = Report."Balance Sheet"],Month) Cumulate('Staging Metric',Month)

Hi Team, It would be a great help if you suggest some best practice to map dimensions in a dataset so that it consumes less space and time moreover data will look more clean and easy to read in pigment.  Thank You!!

Hello community :)  I have a dimension with all my employee (including externals),their start/end dates and others. Looks like this:  To create my forecast on my externals: i want to have a table aside with manual inputs for costs that i can update for each month. I do not want to compute costs by multiplying FTE according to start/end date. At resulats, i would love a metrics with my externals (job_id), costs (than i can enter manually) and months. Then i could add this metrics to my permanent employee cost metrics since i would have the same dimensions (job_id, employee, month.how can i do it ? Thanks a lot :) 

Hello,I need to make multiple different imports from Pigment to Google Sheets within a preset presentaion frame (namely, fixed row titles and fixed column titles). But instead of filling the existing available empty cells of the sheet under those row and colum titles, the import seems to be inserting new rows and new columns (as many as the total surface of the import) between existing rows and columns. Can you please help me solve this ?ThanksErwan 

Hi Pigment community, I have a Metric ‘FX rates’ that contains the Conversion rates cut by three dimensions: ‘Currency’, ‘FX Type’ and ‘Month’.Also I have a Transaction List that contain the above dimensions (as dimension property). I’m looking to populate a column in the Transaction List that delivers the ‘FX rates’ value correspondent to the row value combination for the three dimension. What would be the best formula structure to approach this task? Thanks in advance :D

 Is there a way to delete users instead of just deactivating? I don’t see an option as primary owner.  Related: I believe currently transfer application can only be done by current owner, can the workspace owner transfer application ownership?  

Hello community, I’m trying to populate the very last column of the below Transaction list, which is set as dimension, which is already defined. I could populate the column line by line by selecting the values from the dropdown but there are lots of lines.  That’s why I’m trying to use a formula to populate the dimension via formula.The formula should bring the text from the Entity column (set as a dimension) and concatenate with the result with an if statement aiming to provide “Account code” text column (circled) in case it’s’ populated, or in case “Account code” is blank provide the “Account name” text column (highlighted in blue)if (Transactionlist.AccountCode = “”,Transactionlist.AccountName,Transactionlist.Accountcode) The result should be: Entityname2202 or EntitynameBank

Is there a way to create a metric that joins/appends values from two separate transaction lists? List 1 would for example be most popular colour by product and month in 2022 and List 2 would have most popular colour by product and month in 2023. In my metric I want to join the two into a single metric.The values are dimensions, i.e. not amounts. Using a + works when working with amountsList1.Quantity[by lastnonblank: List1.ProductID, List1.Month]+List2.Quantity[by lastnonblank: List2.ProductID, List2.Month]but doing this with dimensions gives me an error:Error: Arithmetic operators only accepts same type arithmetic inputs after implicit casting, received Dimension (Competence) operandsThe reason I’m not using the same list for everything is due to List 2 having additional data that wasn’t available when we built the original model, and it having an automated import. And I’m tryi
