Questions & Conversations

We are currently utilizing a Google Sheets connector to a worksheet that has a series of data that contains old logic that we wish to calculate within Pigment going forward.  In this particular example, the Google Sheet worksheet contains both  Annual Amounts (which we want to import), as well as Monthly Amounts (which we want to ignore and recalculate within Pigment as this was using a historical spread methodology to be augmented in Pigment).  We are finding during the configuration of the Import, when we elect to Ignore (delete the columns from the import definition) and kickoff the integration we get failures, stating the following: Two questions: Is it assumed that in the below example, the desired data must come first and cannot be situated after data that is desired to be ignored? Is ignoring columns when utilizing a Google Sheets Connector not allowed?  

Hi. First time poster here. :)We import transaction-level data with revenue and other info. One dimension in the data is “account cohort month”, which lists the month an account was created. This is a dimension list in the calendar of our hub. However we have many transaction-level rows with a blank “account cohort month”. This is correct, as there are specific internal rules to what is considered an account.When we try to create metrics pulling revenue from the transaction-level load, it is excluding all those with a blank “account cohort month”. We don’t want to exclude the blanks. When we analyze the cohorts, we want all the cohort months but also a bucket for “no cohort” or similar.What’s the best practice for handling this? The transaction-level data is MANY rows, so manipulating the data in Pigment is probably ill-advised. We could have blanks populated as “NULL” or “No Cohort” before loading to Pigment, but since this isn’t a calendar item, would that even work? (Or how would we

Hello, can you please help me with formula something similar to vlookup?Trying to fill in the Division property using the Department code dimension.Tried using “ITEM('PL GL Data'.Department,'Department Code'.'Department Name')”, but error says “ Error: Expressions are incompatible and cannot all be converted to Dimension (Department Code)” Thanks in advance!   

Hello Community!  I created a metric where I can see the revenue of a product split by different countries per month. I can then use the aggregator “MAX” to give me the maximum obtained revenue - e.g. in which country the revenue was the highest that month. I would like to use this value (thus the name of this country) in a separate table where I have already other information on this product. What I would like to add in this table is thus “Product X - Top performing country”. Would this be possible? Thank you very much in advance! 

Hi, Is there any way as an admin to track when an user last logged into Pigment / track this over time? Would be great to have in order to track the actual adoption of Pigment across the business, given that a lot of user will only be consuming information (not making any changes to the assumptions, which would have appeared in the History logs). 

Generally, we create metric for current month or year and use it for further calculation.If we can use variable in formula than we will not have to create metric for the same.So I would like to know that we can use variable in formula, if yes then how?

Hello, I want to automate the loading of a statement. To do this, I have a database that assigns each keyword in a label to a category.I would like that when I reload my statement, Pigment recognizes the keyword in each label and assigns it to the corresponding category thanks to the created database. What formula can I use? Thank you for your help

Hi Pigment community,I want to realise a LTM (Last Twelves Months) analysis for a metric.For the moment, I’m able to cumulate only by the beginning of the period with the function:CUMULATE(Revenues,Month)[Filter: Month.Year = Year."FY 22" OR Month.Year = Year."FY 23" OR Month.Year = Year."FY 21"]I can make it “restart” each year with using CUMULATE(Revenues,Month,Month.Year) but I want to cumulate the last 12 Months onlyLTM Revenue Feb 22 should be starting from Feb 21 and not Jan 21.How can I do that?Many thanks

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to find a more efficient solution to modeling our yields. We have several dimensions by which we measure yields (region, segment, ramp status, etc...) and currently have separate blocks for each measure which can lead to confusion. I would like to consolidate yield calculations into a few blocks and pivot from there on the necessary dimensions. Any ideas on how to best set up yields?
