Hello Pigment Community,I have created a variable for each metric, and in the table, I have applied the individual variables to their corresponding metrics. I then pivoted the table so that the metrics are in the page selector. The issue I'm encountering is that when I apply a variable to one metric and then try to apply a different variable for another metric, it doesn't update as expected. I need variables to be updated as according to my selection. For example, I have two P&L metrics: Salary Cost and Expense. I’ve set individual variables for both metrics. However, when I apply these variables to different selections on the board, it shows the same variable for both metrics, even though I recently applied different variables for each.Could anyone assist with this? 

Hi,I have an issue where the Workday api key stopped working and the data is not longer pushed from workday to Pigment. The Key in specific is called “Workday HCM People Planning” and is an important metrics for us in people planning. The Api key is still active in terms of expiration date 2026-01-01. Can someone please help me with this issue?Kind regards,Benedikte

Hi,I would like to know when we get timeout issue during Data import and how to solve it. 

I would like to write a formula where the intent is for the metric to calculate the average of the prior 3 months of the metric itself.I envisioned the syntax being something like the following, though it says MOVINGAVERAGE doesn’t support recursive mode.MOVINGAVERAGE(PREVIOUS(month),3)I understand that I could use MOVINGAVERAGE without PREVIOUS if the object being averaged was a separate metric, but the use case I have requires the formula to reference metric itself. Is there any solution or workaround for this?  

Hi CommunityHope you are well.I am wondering if anyone is using Google Looker as a dashboard/BI tool to report on data from Pigment and is there a way to push data from Pigment to Google Looker seamlessly? What I can find in Pigment documentation is pushing data from Looker to Pigment but not the other way around.The work around I’ve been using is pushing data from Pigment to GoogleSheet and from GoogleSheet to Looker but that requires manual refreshes and it’s not automatically synced (e.g daily) to share across the organisation with other users.ThanksNeo :) 

Hello,I’m looking for a specific function to make the calculation on this figure:  Can you please help me? Regards,

There’s a grid in which employees are assigned to a project.Metrics: initial project and final projectIf both these projects are different for a specific employee, notification in pigment is working fine i.e. If there’s a change in project, to notify the relevant team leader of projects (both initial and final) - P1 and P2.However, there’s a metric called : “Override Project” , which can also derive Final Project.If there’s already a change in project name for Employee ABC (from P1 to P2 project), and then override of ‘P3’ is done (Now, P1 to P3 project), notification should be sent to team leader of projects (both initial and final) - P1 and P3 [P3 Must].Currently, triggering metric for workflow notification is Change in Project? with employee dimension.How can I check the logic again?

 In the dimension drop down, when I expand the size of the page selector it doesn’t save (so everytime when I click into this dimension input it goes back to the default size - any way I can save the size of the page selector? 

I have the formula below: (('EE_Comp_01_SabbaticalAccrual_P&L_ReAllocated'    * EE_BU_AllocationFinal    )[BY: -> EE_Card_Department,EE_Card_SalaryCurrency, 'EE_Card_P&L', 'EE_Card_Direct/Indirect'])The highlighted in red, assigned my employees to the department that they belong for each month based on that metric. INSTEAD, I would like to just assign them to the last department they belonged to for each version.  I tried inserting “BY LASTNONBLANK: → “  but it did not seem to resolve the issue. See screenshot for the stracture of the EE_Card_Department below:  Basically I want to adjust the formula above, to assign this employee only to department FBS Revenue.  Any ideas? 

Hello,I have this figure: and I need to make this calculation → Q1= (1,28+0,72)/3. But I don’t have this option in the calculated item. Can you please help me. Regards,

Hi, is there a way to import list items of one list into another list?

Can we group a list of actions in pigment into a process (Just like we have in Anaplan)? Is there such a capability?

Hi, I’m working on a board that uses complex security and I want to limit the items in the page selector. The security model is based on cost centres and employees, and others.I want to display those employees in the page selector that match certain criteria (employee.criteria = true). For this, I have created a metric and used it as a dynamic variable (Technical Employees), then assigned it to the page selector.Due to the security model, some users will have no access to given employees, and therefore the metric used for the variable will return nothing, which is correct.However, in this situation, the board ignores the variable in the employee page selector, and incorrectly reverts to displaying all items to the user: Suppose I don’t use the variable in the page selector, but manually select the employees that match my criteria in the Available items. In that case, the page selector will return an empty result if the user has no access to those employees, which is the expected behavi

Hello Pigment community,Is there a option where when we select an item of a dimension in one metric or table, the other metrics and tables get synced with that item only and display data of that item specifically? 

Hello,I’m trying to make this calcul to keep only the value on the last month of the quarter:'EE_Ramping Employees' [By lastnonzero: '[01] OBROC_DATA HUB'::Month [FILTER: '[01] OBROC_DATA HUB'::Month.Quarter <> '[01] OBROC_DATA HUB':: (Month + 1).Quarter].Quarter] But I got this error message:  Can you please help me. Regards,Rockney

Hi everybody,I have a grid with two time-dimensioned calculated items. One is YTD and one is YTG where they cumulate using the selected month: YTDYTGThese work fine, but I also want to create a calculated item that shows the sum of both YTD and YTG (i.e.: full year). I couldn't get it to work via calculated items in the same grid, so as a workaround I made a second grid that shows the full year P&L. Although that workaround is okay-ish, I'm sure there must be some (better) way to get Month | YTD | YTG | FY in the same grid?Thanks, Bas

Struggling to figure out how to set up a formula properly. I’m trying to create an IF statement with a condition where it looks at a transaction list property with X dimension and if it matches to a boolean metric list where X dimension is flagged as TRUE then return A otherwise B.Transaction List = PL_Transactions Transaction List Property = PL_Transactions.Vendor Dimension = Vendor Boolean Data Type Metric w/ 1 Dimension (Vendor) = Draft_Vendors

Hello, is there a best practice to rebalance forecasts to hold to the beginning of the quarter’s forecast. For example, if on Jan 1st, I forecast to spend $12k for Q1 ($4k per month) and then when I get to Feb 1st, I actually spent $6k in January. I now manually take $12k - $6k = $6k / 2  =  $3k, and then I forecast $3k for each February and March each to hold the $12k for the entire Q1 forecast + Actuals.   Is there an automated way (not manually doing the math and re-entering for the remaining months) to do this?

Hello Pigment Community,I need help with automating calculations for specific brands in Pigment. Requirement: For the brands marked (e.g., checked/true), I want Pigment to automatically calculate the values. For the unmarked brands (e.g., unchecked/false), I want to manually input the data.   Goal: I would like to filter the view to display only the unmarked brands (those marked as false), so I can easily input data manually.   Thank you for your help.

Hi community, I found the article Use Selectors to Customize Context in Views and Boards | Community (the last paragraph How Variable and Page selectors work together) and I want to do the same view for my PnL.  The idea is basically the same. I want to see first Actual, Budget and then dynamic FC version depending on page selector. After that I want to see difference between Bud and selected FC version. I didn’t figure it out how to do it.I’ve done the calculated item and linked it to the page selectors, but I can still see all FC versions and I don’t know how to hide them (=switch based on Page selector (as in original article)).Thanks! 

I have a metric dimensioned by Day and Project. I want to offset back a certain number of Days based on another Metrics Input (Project Length). The Project_Length metric is an integer metric dimensioned by Project only. Is there a way to dynamically offset the number of days back in a SELECT statement based on an input such that this?   I have several projects that start N number of workdays before the end of the month, so I am trying to calculate their start date for each month based on the number of days they take (Project_Length) 

I have calculate the First Workday on the Day Dimension and want to look up that date on the Month dimension. How can I lookup the First Workday on the Day dimension from the Month dimension. Screenshots below:
