Showing Revenue as % of itself (100%) in the tables

In the table, when showing metrics as % of Revenue (in P&L tables for instance), how can we show Revenue as % of itself (100%)? When choosing % of metric, we cannot choose the metric itself from the available options.

PREVIOUS does not work according training/ video material

When I follow the training materials and the training videos provided, I have to create the FORECASTED REVENUE metric. When I enter the formula, it accepts the syntax of the formula (no errors), but does not show data in the forecasted months (Oct - Dec).Formula I use:IF('Period type'.Name."Actual", Revenue[REMOVE:Team, Account], PREVIOUS(Month)*(1 + 'Growth Assumptions')).Data for Actual month are populated like the video example, but there is no data. And the Growth Assumptions is populated with the growth percentages.

FILTER does not work according training video/ material

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?

Round Function

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.

Naming conventions for tables and charts versions

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.

Accessing Dimension Value From a Metric

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.

Best way to share reports with several people

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.

Best Practice : Associate a metric with a dimension ?

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 !

Add "Last Date|Time Updated" to Boards

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.

Calculating YTD

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.

CAGR Function

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

Unable to filter data

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?
