When I follow the training materials and the training videos provided, I have to create the REVENUE metric. So far so good, but when I enter the FILTER part in the formula, it does not accept it.My formula: Transactions.Amount[FILTER: Transactions.Account.Category = "Revenues"][By: Transactions.Account, Transactions.Country, Transactions.Month, Transactions.Team] Error message: Error: Expressions are incompatible and cannot all be converted to Dimension ('Data Hub - JV'::'Account Category')Can someone support me to guide me what I do wrong?

Hi Pigment team, Does Pigment support ChartHop integration? ChartHop is not listed as one of the available tools for integration. Is there a way to create such integration? Best,Dastan

Hey,I am trying to input into a cell, I keep getting the following error.  Any idea what is causing this?  Thanks in advance! 

Hi all,  I wanted to ask a question about the round function. If i try to round 4.5, why does Pigment gives me back 4 as a result?In excel instead it gives me 5 (and this is what I would like to obtain)I don’t want to use the Roundup function because if I have 4.4 I want the result to be 4.  

When saving different versions of tables/charts, what are some good rules of thumb on how many to save and how to name them? I am trying to avoid saving too many so it doesn’t become overwhelming when I select the view for the boards. Wondering what the best practice is with the naming conventions and what works for different users.

Hi, I’m looking for best practices of organizing folders in a way that is clear and not cluttered. Please share what you are proud of and what worked for you. 

Is there any way or structure for me to access the value of a dimension from a Metric?Ex. I have a Number metric that has ARR dimensioned by Customer ID and Month. I would like to find the first month a customer had an ARR value. How would I be able to access the value of the Dimension. When using firstnonblank I only am able to get the value of the Metric and cannot access any of the dimension attributes.

What would be the best way to share reports with several people, with each having a different filter applied? An example is if we have 50 site managers and each manager should see a report for their site only with site being a filter/ field within a current report.

For example if I have several metrics corresponding each to an allocation rule, and I want to define the allocation rule to be used for each entity of a company.Is there a best way than using a SWITCH statement to associate a metric with a dimension.In my example : SWITCH(Entities.Allocation Rule, “A”, ‘Allocation - A’, “B”, ‘Allocation - B’, ...)It is not totally optimal because I have to update the formulas each time an allocation rule is added.Thanks in advance !

Is there a way to have the visual hint ON by default?

Dear community,How could we add “Last Date|Time Updated” to our Boards?“Last Date|Time Updated” = the last time the transaction list (data source of the board) was refresh/uploaded.The idea is to provide visibility to the final user of the board about how “fresh/updated” is the data in the board.Thanks.

Hi,  I'm trying to build YTD formula that is based on switch over data.  For example if the switchover date is November, I would like to sum January-November numbers. What is the easiest way to do that? I tried to use the YEARTODATE formula, but it's not what I am looking for, as it's adding to each month the sum of the previous months.

Hello,Is there a formula that outputs cumulative average growth rates of a certain set of numbers? For example, an output of the last three months' revenues average growth rate could help model the rolling forecast (getting the trend is sometimes better than getting just the average).Does that make sense?Roy,Melio

I create a table to join some information and create a Full P&L per month. I want to use the formula YearToDate, it it possible? How can I do that?

Hi,I've been using filter to filter data in my view but when I do a calculation with the filtered dimension in a table, the value calculated seems to be taking into account the value of the filtered elements as well? Can I fix this or do I have to create a new dimension with different structure in order to get correct numbers?  

Hi, I somehow missed how we can connect data in Pigment. I want to connect an excel file I've been working on. Is there a way to connect it? Thank you! 

Hi, I’m trying to push data from Looker to Pigment but the export is failing due to "CSV Format & Mapping". When I try to do it with a csv it works with the same import pipeline.Here’s a screenshot of the error I’m getting:Could you please advise?  Thanks

Hi, we’ve started using Pigment recently and worked with flat file exports only until now. I was wondering if it would be possible to get our data directly from google sheets for example? Thanks!
