Hey Pigment community, I need to create a unique ID in a list by concatenating text values from several other properties. This works perfectly when my new unique ID column is set to the Text type.However, my requirement is for this unique ID to be of the Dimension type. As soon as I switch the column type to Dimension, the concatenation formula stos working, citing a type incompatibility.I've been trying to find a workaround for a while without any luck. Has anyone run into this before or have any ideas on how to solve this?Thanks in advance for your help!Andy

I have an integer dimension by month, vendor, and function that has “1” if that vendor was employed in that specific month. How can I cumulate but reset if the employment is blank? I.e. some vendors are employed for 3 cumulative months, then take a 7 month break, and come back for 2 months so I would want the respective values to show 3 cumulated and then 2 cumulated. Thank you!

Hi Pigment - If the dependency is the previous month end inventory, why do we use the incoming order in the formula please.Thanks,Louie 

Hello everybody,Does anybody know if it is possible to use scenario's as an incremental effect to the default scenario? For my use case: I have a default scenario where my users are inputting their baseline forecast for the coming months/ years. I would like for them to be able to also model the associated risks & opportunities as incremental effects to that baseline forecast. So, basically: default scenario + opportunities = best case scenario. And; default scenario + risks = worst case scenario. And: default scenario + opportunities + risks = realistic scenario. I have tried copying scenario inputs from scenario A to scenario B, but that only overwrites the initial data in scenario B instead of data from A being appended to B. Manually copying and pasting all inputs from A to B and then adding additional input in B is too much of a hassle. Let alone that you'd have to keep in mind to update 3 scenario's if you change something in the baseline. It wo

Hello all - I am new to Pigment and am having some serious difficulty staging up a lease schedule for my client. The client wants to input future forecasted leases as follows:Step 1: Select a region from a drop down menu  The region is already dimensioned via “L1 Geo” Step 2: A lease value column should prepopulate based on default regional values. The “L1 Geo” dimension has two additional columns with default Lease Values and default Cage values.  Step 3: A “Cage Fee” column should prepopulate based on default regional values. The “L1 Geo” dimension has two additional columns with default Lease Values and default Cage values.  Step 4: A rent escalator column should prepopulate with 3% Step 5: A term column should prepopulate with 60 months Step 6: A “Start Date” column should be manually entered Step 7: A monthly view should show two separate calc

Hi All,Does anyone know how “Auto-Input Using Default Page Items” this works?There is metric with data type dimension. Same dimension is on the page selectors. The value of the page selector should also be the value in this metric

My headcount planning app currently uploads a headcount report on a monthly basis and the forecast basically rolls forward after every new month and the only way I can compare changes over months is to take a snapshot and change the switchover month.How should I approach making this update since it seems like I would have to rework the entire application and add a version to every metric? My current thought is that a budget version is tied to a specific months load, so I can do a mapping for load month → version but does that work?Example:Current monthly data by load monthExpected Result if I want to use June load month for BoD Version. The data from Jul onwards would only use data up to the June load and not use anything beyond that.  Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Pigment Community,Our organisation is currently undergoing a migration to utilise SQL data warehouses on Databricks, and we're looking to transition our connection from Redshift to Databricks. However, we haven't found a straightforward, out-of-the-box solution to establish this connection.Could anyone from the Pigment team or community members who have faced similar challenges provide guidance on the proposed solution for connecting directly to Databricks? We currently have a workaround involving copying our Data Lake models into S3 and then connecting from there, but we're eager to explore a more direct integration.Thank you in advance!

Hi,I’m trying to set up an iterative calculation to use the PREVIOUSOF function to address a circular reference. However, in my application the setup doesn’t appear the same as described in the article “Iterative Calculations Across Multiple Blocks Using PREVIOUSOF.”Instead of showing options for Cycle Name, Iteration Dimension, and Metrics That Can Reference Each Other (as mentioned in the article), it only gives me the option to add an iterative calculation and asks me to select the Base Metric and Allowed Metric. 

Hi All,Although PREVIOUSBASE() is replaced by PREVIOUSOF(), why am I unable to see that update in my workspace?I am only able to use PREVIOUSBASE and it keeps throwing me circular reference error.According to this documentation - This should be new interface where we don’t need to select a base metric Instead, while setting up iterative calculation to use PREVIOUSOF, this is my current interface Can someone please tell me how I can start using the new update?

 Hi everyone 👋I’m currently trying to build a formula that returns Actuals across different versions.What I’d really like is to have something like a dynamic SELECT[MONTH - X], so it always pulls the correct month automatically.I already managed to create a working formula above, but I’m not fully satisfied — it feels like there should be a simpler and more dynamic way to achieve this. I  tried as below creating a metric to use as a pointer with SELECT: Month = Technical Metric with the function Edate OR  SELECT: Month - Technical Metric but it didn’t work as expected. When I attempt t

Hi community,I have a transaction list that is being shown in a board as a list widget.It contains some qualitative survey answers, which can be extensive. This generates a bad user experience, as I can’t make the rows taller, and the only way the users can see the full content of a cell is by hovering the mouse on top of it.Is there a “text wrapping” functionality I can apply to expand the text-heavy cells automatically? Or is there a way to make the rows taller that I might be missing?I’m also open for other suggestions on how to handle this so it’s more visually-friendly for my key users,Thank you!Andy
