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 grouped (Screenshot 3). Updating this has become

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

Hi!I’m trying to compare two scenarios in a waterfall chart so I can see which was the total revenue expected in Scenario 1 vs which is the new expectation in Scenario 2 while seeing the main drivers of this change. I’m trying to compare scenarios in a table and then convert it into a graph but it is not working. How can I do it?Thanks!

Hi Pigment team! I am trying to setup a reallocation logic. Can you please help with creating the formula? Right now, the total cost $1,517,587 is booked all in US (screenshot 1), but I want the cost to be re-allocated to international countries (screenshot 2).

Can I set an object at aggregated level to be equal 1000 using a formula example‘Salary(euro)’ = 1000

Hi AllIm trying to build out the company commissions based on NRR.I want to be able to calculate the corresponding commission % based on the NRR we have forecastedSo each NRR% is equivalent to a Commission %. eg. 80-85% NRR = 0.05% commission. 86-90%=0.1% Commission and so on.There are 8 bandings, so If statements seems quite long winded, but possible that way. Wondering if someone can think of an easier way?Thanks! 

Hi!I’m trying to count all the “No Vendor Name” entries from my transaction list but keep getting this error that the Property is not unique. Final Vendor Name property in the transaction list cannot be unique since there are multiple transactions under the same vendor.IF('PL GL Data'.'PL Cat 1'='PL Cat 1'."Non-Headcount Costs",COUNTALLOF('PL GL Data'.'Final Vendor Name'."No Vendor Name")) Can anyone please suggest any modifications in my current formula or any other way to count this specific “No Vendor Name” from the transaction list.Thank you!

Hello Pigment community, I am trying to compute a table showing in a column the YTD revenue, but the YTD can not be fixed on a specific month but be variable (if we want to see the YTD for 2 months ago for example).  The only way i saw how to do a YTD revenue is to use a “cumulate” in the calculated items, when i add a calculated item on the dimension “month”. But if i want to change my month from the “current month” to another month, like two months ago, i will have to go back to the calculated item in the pivot.  Is there a way to change the “item” in “calculated item” easily directly from the pages of the table, so that we can change it directly from the dashboards ? Or if this does not work like that, is there a way for me to be able to get a YTD computation that can be edited directly from a dashboard ?  Thanks a lot for your help !  

Hello Pigment Community,We have an automatic import set up connecting Pigment to our accounts in Xero. See below screenshots for a visual.For one of our legal entities, we do not have the “Department” field set up in Xero, but we need it in Pigment. As such, I’ll need to assign a “Department” to each transaction line of the import. As you can see by the screenshots, currently the departments are automatically being set to “blank”.For my purposes, I think the quickest way to achieve the department assignation would be to go line by line in my import and manually assign a “Department”. This entity is being phased out, so this is a one time clean up job, so happy to do (a bit of) manual work in assigning the departments as opposed to setting up a more permanent mapping logic.My questions/concerns:If I spend the time to do this, will future instances of the data import “wipe” these manual assignations I’ve made? To encapsulate my question, is there any tips & tricks, or maybe any pitfa

Hi, I am trying to find a quick way to get an AVG of 1 out 4 dimensions in the metric and use it for the further calculations. I have data based on cohort, with Cohort Month (on rows) and Cohort Age (on collumns). I would like to take and avg of cohort months and only have Cohort Age Dimension in. I was trying AVGOF formula with exclude modifier but that did not work. Also, BY AVG: CohortMonth, but that keeps the metric in. Any suggestions? 

I found Permission Syntax on community is permissions("{\"openBoard\": true , \"postConversation\":true }")OpenBoard allows us to open the Board and postConversation allows us to comment on Board.But I would like to know, if we would like to allow end user to configure board than what we need to write code in permission function.

Hi Pigment Community,We have daily scheduled imports that are uploaded automatically from an API connection with Xero.I’ve never had an issue with them for many months, but all of a sudden 3 of them had error messages this morning.Any troubleshooting ideas to resolve this?

Hi, I have two transaction lists:TBL_employees - a transaction list that includes information relating to each employee at the end of each monthTBL_accounting - a transaction list that includes all the journal entries from our accounting softwareIn the TBL_accounting we have a dimension called EMPLOYEE_ID, this dimension contains the ID of an employee for all journal entries that relate to a specific employee (ex. salaries), and a dimension MONTH that contains the month of the journal entry.In the TBL_employees we have the same two dimensions - EMPLOYEE_id and MONTH as well as a dimension called EMPLOYEE_category which specifies if the employee is a manager or an individual contributor.What I want to do is add the dimension EMPLOYEE_category into TBL_accounting using the EMPLOYEE_id and MONTH dimensions as filters but I can’t find a formula that works.The challenge is that the EMPLOYEE_category can vary for the same EMPLOYEE_id depending on the month (ex. an employee being promoted), s

If you create 3 Models, what is the easiest way to check which Dimensions, Metrics from one Model are used in another?Case: a copy has been made of a working Model and updated. Too many updates have been made and we want to make the copied Model the new Model, but we need to check which Blocks to reconnect. What is the best way to do that? Dependency Diagram in combination with Settings > Libraries? Or is there a quicker way?

    The purpose of this article is to explain how you can export CSV data from Pigment and transform it into Excel so that the data is separated into columns.When you export data from Pigment, data is separated by semicolon. If you are planning to use the data in Excel, this is not very useful as all of your data grouped in a small number of columns. As a result we need to perform transformation on the extract before we can use the data.Steps to transform the data in ExcelTo transform the data in Excel, you should follow the steps below: Download CSV on Pigment   Open a new Excel workbook    Select “Get Data” -> “From File” -> “From Text/CSV”  Select the exported file (the one that was downloaded from Pigment)   Change the delimiter to semicolon if not selected automatically. Press Load Your data should now be loaded in a format that can be used for Excel analysis    

HelloI am trying to pull data on one dashboard from another , where I am trying to sum up 2 specific accounts.
