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 EntitynameBankThanks for your help.

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 trying to find shortcuts to avoid having to rebuild everything :)

Hello community!I want to create a simulation tab to test several employee cost before hiring someone. Concretely, I want to create this knowing that company is a dimension, fix and var are manual inputs, currency is a dimension and total gross will be a formula according to what have been entered in company, fix, variable and currency. Thanks a lot!

I’m wanting to add some list items I generate based on a formula into a dimension list automatically.The Item function allows us to search and return a dimension if it exist in a list but I’m wondering how instead of returning BLANK I would be able to automatically add a missing item into the dimension.Some context: Pulling data from multiple sources which may have the same Primary Key therefore in Pigment I would like to Concatenate the Data Source Name to the ID and add it into a Global dimension we maintain.Ex.Global Dimension is IDsData Source 1 IDs1 2 3 4Data Source 2 IDs2 4 Processing I would like to do in pigment is to add Data Source 1 and 2 IDs to the global dimension so the output would be:DS1-1 DS1-2 DS1-3 DS1-4 DS2-2 DS2-4

Hey everyone! I’m trying to create a cohort framework in the backend of the model. To do this, I’m using my Datahub::Month dimension and my Revenue app::Cohort Months dimension. It should generate something like:                    0             1             2Jan 23    Jan 23     Feb 23    Mar 23Feb 23   Feb 23     Mar 23    Apr 23Mar 23   Mar 23     Apr 23    May 23 and so on. Is this the best practice to enable cohort logic for things like churn? To create my Cohort Months dimension, I can manually type integers 0 through 60 for example, but is there a way to use PREVIOUS() to just increment 1 each row to do this?

There have been a few instances where we need to take the fist value of a metric and have it populate earlier periods that are blank and take the last value and populate remaining blank periods.Lets assume we have a metric called Salary, with a set of values from a limited period (i.e., Mar - Jun):Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug     5000 5000 5250 5250     Below is the final result we need :Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 5000 5000 5000 5000 5250 5250 5250 5250  I’ve seen the use of the previous function to populate the earlier periods:if(isnotblank(Salary), Salary, previous(Month on -rank(Month.’Start Date’))and a slightly adjusted formula to populate the later periods (i.e., take out the - in front of the rank function): if(isnotblank(Salary), Salary, previous(Month on rank(Month.’Start Date’))I’ve been unable to find documentation on how the previous function uses the on parameter.Is there another way to accomplish this or
