Been having an issue where when in Grid view for my most recent month some of my data is falling under a Blank category for 2 dimensions even though none of the underlying data has Blank values. When drilling down to the transaction there are no blanks and the data is correct in the grid view. I’ve cleared my cache and realaunched chrome but still have the issue persist even after reloading the original transaction list.Please see images below  

When I upload info in a table, and the upload is giving me e.g. 2 new items in that table, do I have a detail of those 2 new items anywhere? To know exactly what I have as new.I know when I upload and some items are not being populated for any reason, I can see in the “i” of information button the specific cases, but with the “new items” I don’t see that button with the specific items which are being added.If there exists an option to see, could you please tell me?If not, could we have it?

Hi, I plan for benefits at an annual level using a metric called “Benefits as % of salary” with dimensions year, subsidiary, and version. As an example, for FY22 I have manually entered 5% as my assumption. What is the best way to then convert the annual assumption 5% to a monthly metric? As in I want to show the actual benefits as % of Salary by month and then show 5% going forward when the version switches to forecast. My annual forecast may also change by year, so I cannot use [remove lastnonblank: year]

hello :) I want to apply a filter on a metric, it tells me that it can be converted to dimension and i do not undertand why. This is the initial metric: And i want to apply this filter: [FILTER:'Job Id'.Contrat = Contract.'Included in People Costs']→ in order to compute costs only for contracts that are included in people costs

I’m having issues drilling down by transaction with metrics I’ve created in my P&L. For context, I’ve used the “Break down by” functionality, and then am able to see lower level metrics. From there, I’m not able to further drill down by transaction. 

I would like to adapt in Pigment a simple formula used in excel (Metric 1 in yellow, with details in cell F2) :NB : The grey cell C2 is a manual input initiating the sequence.Issue: as the calculation is like a sequence using each previous value, there would be iterations within the same metric.I’ve tried the below formula to overcome the issue, it works for few months but you can see it’s not scalable:  

Hello! I have a dimension in “Environment prod-2022” which is “id_order” → I put on the right the brand name and the retailer name, which are text type data from a transaction list (TL_RBRA).Then, i created a table “Top Retailers / Brands”, in which i aggregate my date by Id_order dimension, i want to create a view in which i display the brand name next to the id_order and another view in which in display the retailer name next to the id_order. Retailer_name and Brand_name are both properties of Order_Id but are not dimension but text type, then i do not achieve to pit in the pivot brand_name and retailer_name next to the order_id.  At the end, i want the 2 views in a board.How can i do it? Thanks a lot!

I would like to know what has worked well for other users for showing / comparing to external benchmarks.Did you add Benchmark as a scenario and manually input the numbers you want to compare KPI against?Is there something that works better?

I was looking into a ticket with a colleague and found a use case where a customer was using a Metric to track if an employee is ramped or ramping.The configuration is a simple metric, dimensioned by Employee and Month with a datatype of a Dimension (Used to flag whether an employee is ramping or ramped)Dimension Flag MetricDimension Flag Metric ConfigurationThis works perfectly when bucketing sales into either being made during the Ramping/Ramped phase to help with forecasting. However, if you want to account for quarters you end up with values in Ramping and Ramped. To account for this I assigned a value to each dimensi

Dears,I created a new metric in which I subtract two metrics that have the same dimensions. Since the metrics are coming from different transaction lists that share the same dimension (customer email) , one frome Resquests MRR BE and the other from BillsMonths I dont share the same customer email in both metrics, and I want to perform the substraction of only those emails that are in both transactions. I tried using filters with ISDEFINED for the email in each transaction to see if the metric will only give the emails that are shared in both transactions but I couldn’t do the right formula. If would be very helpful if you can point me in the right direction?Thank you very much in advance! Jose

Hello Community members! Asking a modeling question to the Community? Here are 3 tips to help you get the best possible answers from your peers. Give context around what you are trying to achieve and the different solutions you’ve come up with so far. This will help us understand your thought process and how you’ve come there, but most importantly help us write an explanation that makes sense in your case.   When describing the blocks used in your example, make sure to identify each block’s type (Dimension, Transaction list, Metric, or Table). Additionally, make sure your block names are understandable by everyone (if they use a special naming convention in your application - please explain what they are).   Explain the data type and dimensions of the blocks you list. This helps people understand the types of data you are working with. If you’re using a transaction list, explain the property types. For example:

Hi team!I would like some help, as I cannot find out what is going wrong.I have a metric that we add adjustments on top of our initial forecast and along with other metrics they all end up in a table. My problem is that for one specific line the number is not correct, in fact, i drill down to see where this number comes from but the amounts that I see (the correct ones) don’t give the amount shown in the table! So I am trying to understand what else is pulling but not showing so as to fix it! Any idea what could it be?

Dears, I have a dimension “Self Served” that I get from an extract directly intro a transaction list A, in this transaction list  A I have another dimension “Client ID” that is shared with another transaction list B, and I added another column in transaction list B to get the dimension “Self Served” but I get an error, is there a way to connect both transaction lists with something similar to a vlook up in Excel? I dont want to keep importing or manually adding “Self Served” into the dimension “Client ID” so I can use the function ITEM. I am trying to automate the data so it comes directly from the extracts.  Thank you very much for your insights! BR,Jose

When I add a metric to a board, the rows are automatically ‘frozen’ so that they remain visible when I scroll to the right.Is this an option with columns too? Sometimes there are too many rows and I get lost when the date columns are no longer visible.

Dear Community, I have a transaction list in which I want to add a percentage based on a dimension I have, but I get the sum of the all the percentages in every line. I want to do what would be a simple VLook up in excel from the following dimension: If you have any guidance or any idea how to do that on Pigment it would really help me. My end goal is to have each amount that is on every line multiplied by a percentage based on the dimension name of the offer. Thank you very much in advance!Jose

Dear Community, I have the following metric:BillsMonths.'MRR SS'[BY:BillsMonths.Mail,BillsMonths.Month]   I am trying to create another metric based on the previous metric, with the following formula:COUNTOF('Billsmonth Spread')[BY SUM: 'Data Hub'::BillsMonths.Month] And I get the next error in the playground formulaAnd if I create the metric with the dimension I get the same number for every monthWould you please point me in the right direction? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello all,  I want to aggregate 7 metrics with the following dimensions: version, month, order_id. One of these has checkout_id dimensions in addition, then i removed it. In addition, 2 metrics (Offer_order_Level and Wallet_order_level) have day in dimension structure instead of month (for a matter of optimization), however, month is a property of day. I do not achieved to aggregate those metrics. Could you help me please? Thanks a lot 😉

Hi, I am trying to use BY LASTNONBLANK function to capture the last non blank value in “A” metric (with dimension Month), and get this value in “B” metric (no dimensions there), so that in B metric I will have only the value from most recent Month.I used the following formula in metric B:“Metric A” [BY LASTNONBLANK: Month]The result I am receiving is the sum of all months (the same result I would receive if left “Metric A” in formula without any modifiers).Do you know how I can retrieve the last nonblank value from the Metric?

Dears,I would like to create a metric where I have the MRR BE, coming from the transaction list Requests MRR BE, summed by the QuickbooksId and by the Month, both of which are mapped as a dimension in my transaction list.I have the following formula: 'Requests MRR BE'.'MRR BE'[BY:'Requests MRR BE'.QuickbooksId,'Requests MRR BE'.Month] It works for QuickbooksId (ID number) , but it does not sum by Month. It ends up giving me the total per QuickbooksId (ID number) for every month of every year instead of allocating the sum of the ID per month of the year. Thank you very much in advance! Best,Jose
