Metric "By" & Dimension

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.

Dimension user - for importing data

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 ?

Calendar - year view

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?

Add a text metric in a table

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!

Actual in Scenario feature

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.

Calculation of % in properties

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?

Adding empty rows in Tables

Hi Pigment team, I’m trying to add empty rows into my Table block, so that I can separate some categories of expenses from each other: I tried to create and add empty “Placeholder” Metric, however it requires a name and I can’t simply leave it empty. Is there another way to add such empty rows between items? Best,Dastan

Access Rights not working on Transaction Lists

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?

Modeling by version (Budget and Forecast)

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

Filter non-dimension columns

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.

Find latest date in date list metric

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.
