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

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 

How we can define the storage capacity and workspace memory in Pigment?

Our budget construction is based on input of cost center managers, so they can add headcount and expenses as they wish.How can I give them access only to their own cost centers?

Hello community 😊I need to realocate offer amount in proportion of GMS order weight on checkout GMS total weight (i.e. 1 checkout contains X orders). Below you have for example Order 1303589 representing 44% of checkout 351970. Then, i need to relocate 44% of my amount offer to this order. I take the amount offer in a transaction list “LT_Offer”:See below the “TL_Offer”. I want a metric which returns in column the checkout ID, the order ID and reallocated offer amount (which is the offer amount * allocation_order_on_checkout metric)Condition: I only want computing allocated amount offer when the Id_order in TL_Offer is empty (in fact, if there is an id_order, the amount have been already assgined to the order). Here in the same example, i need to reallocate 59€ at 44% to the first order and 56% to the 2nd

Is there a way when different modelers upload data in the same transaction list, to have a dimension that maps the user who uploaded the specific lines? To be able to filter & make changes only to data related to 1 user. Or should this be something included in the import files ?
