Hi Community,I’ve created a Commissions Forecast metric to calculate the difference between YTD Commissions and Total Target Commissions. The value is then spread over the remaining months left in the current year. I’d like to maintain the values from this metric and have it to flow through to my Total Compensation metric which has more dimensions defined in the metric structure. Any tips on how to accomplish this? Commissions Forecast Metric Dimensions: Department, MonthTotal Compensation Metric Dimensions: Department, Month, ID, Employment Type, Employment Status, Location, State. 

How do I select the first 3 months of each FY?For ex: Revenue [SELECT: Month.Quarter] gets me the revenue for each quarter. but now I want just Q1 in each FY. How do I do that?

I’m trying to map one dimension in my transaction list to another using the lastnotblank function: ‘Pigment Dealer Model’ is the transaction list and ‘Dealer Type’ and ‘Dealership Id’ are both list properties; sometimes when I use the lastnonblank function it will work and other times, I get the error below: Is there a reason this function would be working sometimes, and not other times? When it works it produces this:  Any help would be much appreciated and please feel free to ask for more detail if needed.

Bonjour,J’aimerai avoir la donnée des mois suivants. J’ai une donnée par mois et j’aimerais calculer une donnée dépendante des 3 mois suivants.  Merci par avance.  Par exemple : 1 257 k€ est la somme des mois de décembre à Février.  

Hi!I’m trying to create a new column with YTD figures in a table where we see EBITDA by market.The logic we’re trying to find is to be able to tell Pigment that this column has to be the sum of the actual months and to group it all in a single column.  That is to say, it would be something similar to a filtering option, just as we can filter by month to see the info for a specific month, so that we can choose to see only the YTD figures.The idea is that it would be something dynamic and as we close new months that become current months Pigment would understand that the YTD info has to be updated.

Hi Community Members,Please let me know how we can limit the user for input value.Means, There is an input metric where user can provide input between 0.01 to 0.99 only.

Guys, I have a business use case that happened to have a data in weeks, and I would like you to help on how to solve this problem. What are your suggestions..?

Hi there, More and more people in my company are using Pigment. We have different access rights settings (By Cost Center/ By Business Model/ By Country etc...).Today, I'd like to create a board that allows each Pigment user to see which dimensions they have access to and which they don't.I can of course create a new application by making all accesses available to all users , but I want the user in question to be able to see only his or her accesses.I thought of creating Rights accesses by user ("User A" will have an access Read/No Write only to "User A") but you can not, as far as I know, have 2 similar dimensions in a Metric.Any suggestion?Many thanks

Hello Everyone,I have in the following 2 dimension: Year & “Year1”from the FTI formula I hard selected the 200 from the Year.”FY 23”. Year is the only dimensionHow do I hard select on the target metric just one random cell, like the one highlighted below?

Dear community,We would like to create a Price/Volume effect bridge from Budget to Actuals. We were thinking to create a metric for each KPI (Origin Price, Destination price etc.) but that means we create many metrics as the formula use many different KPI for few bridges. Is there a faster way to do it ?Thanks a lot,

Hi Community,I’m trying to create some nice boards and have a few questions on presentation elements that I’d like to incorporate, but don’t seem to be possible in Pigment. If possible, please let me know how, or if not possible, if there are any workarounds. Are you able to change background colours on the board, or the font? (for example - we do a lot of our reporting on a black background, so it would be nice to change from the default white. Or be able to align other formatting to our internal reporting themes) Screenshot 1 Can you remove gridlines on a Grid? (again, a lot of our reports are against a black background, so it’s a bit of an eye sore to have the white gridlines there) Screenshot 2 Is there a way to apply cell formatting to a wide range of cells, or a whole table at a time? Currently what’s happening is if I format “Revenue” for example with $ and M for millions, only that one line will change, and not everything that is g

Dear Community,I need to set an expiration year.I am using the formula “Year + 10” on a Metric with only Year Dimension.I would like this to be more friendly to the end user.I would like to set a metric that i can add to year (ex= Year + “metric”) . I tried with a metric with no Dimensions with a value 5. It did not work.The end is for  the user just by changing the metric at the “metric” would change the Expiration Year. 

Dears,I want  to creat a metric or a property dimension where I get the last non blank dimension from a transaction list that also has some constraints like certain dimensions from that transaction list be equal to something. I have the following formula:'01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Billing Unit'[BY LASTNONBLANK: '01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Company or Partner Id'][REMOVE:'01_MRR-T Requests MRR BE'.'Product Final'='MRR-D Product final'."Licences"]Is says that I need to add as a dimension  MRR-D Product final, so even if I just want to use it as a constraint do I need to add to the dimensions in the metric structure?  Thank you very much in advance,Jose
