How we can define the storage capacity and workspace memory in Pigment?

Our budget construction is based on input of cost center managers, so they can add headcount and expenses as they wish.How can I give them access only to their own cost centers? With that, they would only be able to see data about this specific cost center.I’m tring something like that below but I don’t know how to link the user’s scope with the Cost center manager’s role.   

Hello community 😊I need to realocate offer amount in proportion of GMS order weight on checkout GMS total weight (i.e. 1 checkout contains X orders). Below you have for example Order 1303589 representing 44% of checkout 351970. Then, i need to relocate 44% of my amount offer to this order. I take the amount offer in a transaction list “LT_Offer”:See below the “TL_Offer”. I want a metric which returns in column the checkout ID, the order ID and reallocated offer amount (which is the offer amount * allocation_order_on_checkout metric)Condition: I only want computing allocated amount offer when the Id_order in TL_Offer is empty (in fact, if there is an id_order, the amount have been already assgined to the order). Here in the same example, i need to reallocate 59€ at 44% to the first order and 56% to the 2nd order.Knowing that I have a mapping between order_id and checkout_id in the order_id dimension: I want this final metric working: Thanks a lot ;) !! 

Hi Pigment team, We tried to install Pigment Connector, but it says that we are not able to download it as it is not available in the country we operate. We tried it both from the US and Germany.

Is it possible to hide only empty rows or columns? Currently in the filter I see the “Hide empty rows / cols” option, but what if I just need to hide empty columns? Thanks!  

Hello, I need your help on one metric. Some information :TL_RBRA : Transaction list with all orders.  “Order_id” is the primary key. There is a column “Brand_id”TL_Brand_Type : Transaction list with all Brands. “Brand_id” is the primary key. There is a column “Brand_Type”Gms_eur_without_vat = Gross Merchandise Value In the transaction list “TL_RBRA”, I have two dimensions :“Month” with the colum “ts_checkout_payment_confirmed”  “Country” with the “retailer_country”I want to make this metric : TL_RBRA.gms_eur_without_vat  [by : TL_RBRA.ts_checkout_payment_confirmed.Month , TL_RBRA.retailer_country]I want to add the dimension “Brand Type” in this metric but it is in the transaction list “TL_Brand_Type”.I have a dimension “Brand_id” to make the link between these two transactions list. I don’t want to make a “Vlookup” to add  “Brand Type” in “TL_RBRA” but make it directly in the metric.  Do you have the solution ? Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I want to create a formula using IF, similar to that: if(Month.'End Date'>'Switchover date','metric XX'), but I have 2 conditions:Month.'End Date'>'Switchover date’, and If it is 2022 it has to get data from metric A and if it is from 2023 onwards it has to get data from metric BHow can I do that?

Is there a way when different modelers upload data in the same transaction list, to have a dimension that maps the user who uploaded the specific lines? To be able to filter & make changes only to data related to 1 user. Or should this be something included in the import files ? 

Hi, I remember discussions on spreadsheet mode within Pigment that was going to be released, that a native excel user can get an excel like view within the tool? But I can’t see this in the Product Roadmap?Is this still in the pipeline?Thanks!Mihraspcc @Mohamad Mookhith @Catherine Overo 

Hello team, I would like to update my calendar and instead of FY 22 to show 2022 as we are still in July and having as a header “FY 22” might be misleading for external readers. When I try to update the property closing year, I get the below message. Is there a workaround here? 

Hello team,I have created a text metric, which I would like to use as an explanations column next to our variances for actuals vs forecast and forecast vs budget. I tried to add it in the relevant table that I have (which brings all lines of our cashflow statement and all the amounts per month and per version, meaning forecast, budget, and actual). So far anything I tried did not seem to work, as usually it says the following: “Expressions are incompatible and cannot all be converted to Number”. I would really appreciate if you could share any idea on how I could do that 😊  Thanks a lot in advance!

Can we create charts for Tables with different Metrics as Series of the chart?

 How do I construct my Actual with scenario feature? The source of my actual is a transaction list and when I was using versions I used  the formula below: costs_data.'R$'[BY SUM : costs_data.'Datahub month', costs_data.'N3 - imports'.N3,  costs_data.'Cost center', costs_data.'P&L row Datahub'][BY: Version."Actual"] +-1*'Cost center expenses'.'R$'[BY SUM : 'Cost center expenses'.Mês, 'Cost center expenses'.'N3 - imports'.N3, 'Cost center expenses'.'Cost center', 'Cost center expenses'.'P&L Row'][BY: Version."Budget"]+'Expenses budget input'[BY SUM: Account.N3, Account.'P&L Rows'][BY: Version."Budget"][remove:Vendors] But with scenarios I’m a little confused on how to make that.

Hello! We have our reporting per city & city dimension has region as a property. When I am trying to create a report to show margins for example for our group I want to start with the group margin, then the region and then the city. However, the formula which is on a city level doesn’t seem to work for the margin percentages for the region & group. It works only if I create different metrics with different formula on the different level dimension but then my report can’t have the sequence I want. Is there any solution here? Is there a way to fix this with ADD?  

I would like to include a transaction list in a Board. The Board has several other metrics and tables. The Access Rights functionality is working fine for metrics and tables (a user can only see numbers related to their department). However, it isn’t working on the transaction list. The transaction list has Department as one of the dimension.  Am I doing something that is causing this error or access rights just do not work on transaction lists?

I am modeling our people expenses but I will need that for other modeling. I want to prepare it by version (budget, forecast 1, forecast 2, etc) and I want to let it easier to switch between versions as we need.For that, I am creating thoose metrics:Metric 1: Headcount Starting Point: that is the number of headcount we have just before starting planning the budget or forecast: (configured by: Version, month, cost center and seniority)Metric 2: Headcount addition: that will be where we will input the number of new headcount we are planning to have (configured by: Version, month, cost center and seniority)Metric 3: Total Headcount: Is the sum of  metrics 1 and 2 that gives me the final number of headcount (configured by: Version, month, cost center and seniority)My question is: How can I make sure that metric 3 only picks up data for the appropriate version? And also, how can I change the version it picks up accordingly with our planning time? For example: In November 22 we are going to

Calculated item is only possible for columns? I’m trying to compare two rows but this “Add Calculated Items” is showing only in the column. 

Hello team! Is there an option to export data from Pigment and be able to trace back the formulas for calculated items than just having plain values?

How can I filter ‘Amount’ column, which is a number formatted column, so that it takes only negative numbers?GL.Amount[by sum:GL.Month,GL.Account, GL.'Department Pigment'][Filter : Account.'Account Code'="11010"]In the above formula, I am summing up transaction amounts from “GL” Transaction List  by Month, Account, and Department (which are all dimensions). However, I also want Pigment to take only negative amounts. I tried to paste [GL.Amount < 0] within the filter, but it keeps telling me that the system cannot do that, as GL.Amount is not a dimension but number.

Hi! I have a metric called “launch dates” with different project names. Project     |     Launch DateOne                7/1/2022Two                7/15/2022Three              8/1/2022Four                12/10/2022 From this metric (all the values are *date* type), I want to pull the latest date (in this case, 12/10/2022) into a new metric (LatestLaunchDate) to use it in a calculation. A simplified version of what I’m thinking would be:=IF(Month.Year > LatestLaunchDate, 1, 0) For any month prior to and including the month with the LatestLaunchDate, one calculation would apply. For any month after the LatestLaunchDate, a different calculation would apply. I tried a few versions of the MAX and BY MAX modifiers/functions but didn’t get the result I wanted.
