Hi everybody, It is very time-consuming to reorder dimensions with a hundreds of items. Drag-and-drop would be ideal, but it is not there or I couldn’t find it.I have a workaround of creating a `sort order` field for the dimension, but this look to hacky to me. Any tips on easier reordering?

Hello,I know it is possible to create a MoM KPI, but if I add it as a KPI in a board, each month I have to change the month concerned.Is it possible to calculate automaticaly the MoM based on the last month selected in the board ? Example (picture below): In my board I selected the first 9 months of the year. For my MoM KPI, I selected september to offset with the month before. So the result is September-August. But if I select the 10 first months of the year, the KPI does not change. I expect to see automatically October-September.ThanksAdèle

I am trying to get a formula to work showing each persons quota by quota code based on tenure. I have created a Years dimensions that outlines  year 1 = $1 year 2 = $2  ect ect with the quota value being a property in that dimension.

What is the last piece I am missing to get this to work ?  I keep getting errors. Thank you for your help!! 

I am trying to create something in Pigment similar to the simple excel model shown below.  The key piece I cannot currently achieve is making the Churn amount be calculated as: Beginning ARR * a percentage driver.Same as above with formulas shown.  Formula works as it is cell specificWhen trying to do the equivalent in Pigment, I get a circular error.Dec 21 Ending ARR is hardcoded here for the sake of the exampleFor the sake of the example, I’m assuming Jan is actuals and Feb is forecast.  For reference, my Pigmen

Hi 👋🏼I’m planning on using your API to ingest Pigment data in our datalake, DB Snowflake. I got a two folded question:What are your current API limit rates?

Dears, I am trying to get the first Month we have data of a customer to group it by cohort, and I want to add that date as a property of customer.I was able to get that data using the following formula:'Requests MRR BE'.Date[BY FIRST: 'Requests MRR BE'.'Company or Partner Id' ] The problem is that it only works as long as I have sort the date ascending in the transaction list, and I would like to retrieve that data without having to sort my transaction list. Is there a way I can integrate MINOF in a modifier so that instead of the first value it finds it takes the smallest? Thank you very much in advance, Jose

Dears, I have the following formula: With the following metrics:  and the following structure :The main di,mension client has mapped a segment as a property and I want to do the calculations by that property (Segment). My two metrics are also in terms of the property; and I want to calculate the the value that I have in MRR BE by Customer for each month divided by the Total Users by each month.If I go to drill down, I have the following information:

Hello,We have an issue with data modeling and security for one of our boards in our people application.This board concerns new positions belonging to one team, company, department and recruiting manager. All of our metrics are dimensioned by Company x Departement x Teams as when we created the metrics, there was only one manager for each combination. However, the org has changed and there can now be several recruiting managers in one team with no hierarchy relationship. Due to confidentiality reasons a manager cannot see open position details of other managers' even if they belong to the same team.None of our metrics are dimensioned by employee. So how can we add security based on managers without changing all of our metrics and adding the employee dimension (we have done manual inputs on the metrics so it would erase everything)? (We have already logged in a ticket but if someone has an idea in the meantime it would be very helpful :) )T

Been having an issue where when in Grid view for my most recent month some of my data is falling under a Blank category for 2 dimensions even though none of the underlying data has Blank values. When drilling down to the transaction there are no blanks and the data is correct in the grid view. I’ve cleared my cache and realaunched chrome but still have the issue persist even after reloading the original transaction list.Please see images below  

When I upload info in a table, and the upload is giving me e.g. 2 new items in that table, do I have a detail of those 2 new items anywhere? To know exactly what I have as new.I know when I upload and some items are not being populated for any reason, I can see in the “i” of information button the specific cases, but with the “new items” I don’t see that button with the specific items which are being added.If there exists an option to see, could you please tell me?If not, could we have it?

Hi, I plan for benefits at an annual level using a metric called “Benefits as % of salary” with dimensions year, subsidiary, and version. As an example, for FY22 I have manually entered 5% as my assumption. What is the best way to then convert the annual assumption 5% to a monthly metric? As in I want to show the actual benefits as % of Salary by month and then show 5% going forward when the version switches to forecast. My annual forecast may also change by year, so I cannot use [remove lastnonblank: year]

I’m having issues drilling down by transaction with metrics I’ve created in my P&L. For context, I’ve used the “Break down by” functionality, and then am able to see lower level metrics. From there, I’m not able to further drill down by transaction.
