Is there a way to unshare a block if it hasn’t been used yet? I accidentally shared a block I didn’t want to, and in the block settings->library the share toggle is greyed out. It says it’s being used somewhere else, but also says “Not Used” beside it. 

Is there a bug in Dynamic variable?I have a metric with Year format and This year populates the actual months. When I apply this variable it doesn’t update variable in page selectors instantaneously. Instead I have to wait for a minute or two to see it get applied Or we need to refresh the browser url or application in order for it to make work. Is this the intended behaviour or Am I missing anything?Appreciate your responses!  Thanks,Misbah  

Hi Pigmenteers 🤗I have an input table with 10 input metrics (same dimensions, serve the same purpose). I know how to create them 1 by 1 directly from the table (more convenient), but I’m curious whether there is a way in Pigment we can create them all at the same time? 🤔

Hello,I have a Date field called “Delivery Date” (Ex : 10/06/2024). From here, I want to extract the day of the week in text format (Example :10/06/2024 is “Monday”) and my calculated field should show similar to the example here. I tried WEEKDAY(‘Delivery Date’) and it returns day of the week but in number format and I tried again TEXT(WEEKDAY(‘Delivery date”), again it does not work. How to convert weekday into Text format like Mon,Tue,etc…? thanksMohan

I can find the blue buttom “New application”

Hello everyone, when creating a new item in a P&L, is it possible to pre-fill the item creation form with the filters applied on the page ? (for instance Entity / Current budget phase)

Hi Pigmenteers!While I’m taking Pigment trainings and explore my personal application, I figure out that there is no information about the size of my application or total number of cells, etc.. and the reason behind is that Pigment is a sparse engine.Therefore, can you help explain to me more about the concept of sparse engine - what is a sparse engine, how does it actually work and what is the benefit compared to non-sparse engine?

Hello,Is it possible to change the format of a text Widget ? → Background color→ Text Size→ Text Color→ Center the text in the boxIf not, when do you plan to develop this feature ? ThanksAdèle

Hi, Please let us know how to turn of Shared Scenarios. 

Hello! I’m attempting to aggregate my metrics into a full P&L with actual and forecast views. I have data coming from a Shared_IS_Actuals dimension, several Revenue and COGS dimensions already mapped, a Shared_WF_Plan dimension, and a Shared_Opex_Plan dimension. I’ve been able thus far to successfully have Actuals for all IS accounts pull in, and have Revenue, COGS, and WF (payroll, benefits, taxes) appear in a single metric. However, when I try to add my Shared_Opex_Plan data using the formula below, my Actuals stay, my revenue and cogs disappear, my WF_Plan stays, and my Opex_Plan disappears, leaving me with only the WF_Plan.  It’s like the first by modifier to map the WF_Plan to the CoA is applying to everything? What am I missing?  

Hi! Can you please help me to find average amount if the end of week month is same? Thank you!  

Hi!  I am trying to setup my report table to show Week # of the Year. I assume Week # needs to be created in the Week Dimension. Could you help me with the formula? I would like Monday-based weeks.  ​​​​ My final goal is to add Week # before Week property in the table.   ExampleThank you!

Hi everyone!I am trying to add a conditional formatting in my headcount metric in order to highlight when the number of employees increases or decreases from month to month. I cannot find any option in the conditional formatting that allows me to do so... Could you please help me finding the best solution if anyone has already faced this issue? 🤗Thanks!

Hello Community, I am struggling with YTD summaries for %-values. In image 1 I have lines for Revenue and Costs and then I have added metric “Costs” for a second time and I am showing the value as % of Revenue. Image 1When I add YTD calculations (Image 2), I have an issue that also the “% of Revenue (Costs)” seems to be cumulating when in fact it should be always calculated as Costs/Revenue. This means that for February YTD (ACT) shows -2.20 % (= -1.30 % + -0.90 %) instead of the calculated values, which should be -1.11 % (= -4 664 / 419 306). Image 2Is it possible to keep the YTD calculations for other metrics, but use a “formula”-calculation for the %-metrics? In case it is any help, here is also a image of how I have pivoted the data. Image 3 

In a table, the row headings (the pivoted fields that you can view either in Tabular or Tree layout) are by default formatted with dark grey font on a light grey background. But if I want it to make it *pop* I can’t think of other way than to go row-by-row and go through the menu:Is there a better way?

Hi community! I need to filter grid in board by days and month. I have a boolean metric “Show days?” and when it is TRUE I want to see in grid only days, when its FALSE I want to see only months. How can I do it?

Hello Pigment Community,I want to dynamically aggregate my data based on the selected time period—whether by month, quarter, or year—using a Boolean metric.Expected Behavior:If Month is selected (TRUE), the data should display only monthly values. If Quarter is selected (TRUE), the data should aggregate and display only quarterly totals. If Year is selected (TRUE), the data should aggregate at only the yearly level.How can I achieve this functionality efficiently? Any guidance would be appreciated!Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello,I know it is possible to block a scenario, but when it is blocked, this apply for all users.Is it possible to block a scenario for a contributor, but not for an admin ? If not, when do you plan to develop this feature ?ThanksAdèle

Hello, I have a metric “MD02 - Quel macro composant ?” which displays elements from the list “macro composant” and its total. The dimensions are “Composants” and “macro composants”.  I also have a second metric where I want to display the total with the only dimension “Composants” :  Do you know which formula I must use in this second metric please ?Thank you very much !

Hello,I have a KPI on the headcount planning board for budget owners showing the number of open positions. When there is no open positions, i would like the metric to show 0 instead of “nothing to display”. I tried putting a ifblank is my formula but i have an error message saying it is taking too long to calculate. Is there any way to show 0 ? ThanksVenitia

Hi Pigment Community,we have a use case in a project where we need to combine 2 special cases in the area of Switchover dates. We have multiple switchover dates for multiple data sources, as some supplier report only monthly and some other quarterly. So we need our Forecast calculation to start at different months for different data. We want to auto calculate the switchover date, by the last available data in the Actuals data set. I haven’t found a solution on how to automatically calculate the last Actuals month. For 1. I just created a multiple dimension metric with switchover dates for all data layers, which works fine for manually setting the month for the switchover dates.I then created second metric to calculate the last month with Actual data and this formula gives me the output for the last available month:'ACT_REV_Euro (in k)' [REMOVE LASTNONBLANK: Month] However, I was not able to transform or extract the Month value from the metric. Any formula like “MONTH()” or “TIMEDIM()”

Tried enabling pigment AI but when I ask a simple question like “What’s the revenue in 2024?”, it is giving me a total Revenue that isn’t filtered, i.e. before drilling into FX25 or 24, Live & Stage version combined, 0+12 to 12+0 versions combined? 

Hi,I d like to know whether the scenarios under deployed applications (test n deploy) can be set to "disconnected" (except the default scenario(s)) ?The need here is to have basic scenarios with predefined rules to calculate baseline projections while alowing users to add scenarios with ad hoc simulations formulas.  

We’ve created two scenarios for the BP on 24: Target and BudgetThese two scenarios are items belonging to the dimension “Version”.In the attached table, we want to add two new comparative columns, one being "Target bp 24/FY23" and the other "Budget bp 24/FY23". However, it does not allow us to add this calculated item because we cannot compare different dimensions (version and year).How can we do this comparison? it is crucial to be able to compare as many scenarios as we want with the previous year's figures  

Hello Everyone. I am a beginner in Pigment and I am trying to replicate my excel model within pigment. My current excel model will take a unique count of my order number (order number replicates due to multiple sku in one order) and mark the order as 1 and the duplicate as 0. Example: (if A2=A1,0,1). This gives me the unique number of  orders in my transaction list. I cannot reference a cell directly using the if formula in pigment as compared to excel. Is there a an easier way to do this in pigment?
