Trigger import through API without sending data


Is it possible to trigger an import from Netsuite, Amazon S3 or Salesforce using
Pigment’s API? So in this case we don’t want to send the data in the request
body, we just like to trigger an existing import using the API instead of having
the import to run on a schedule. Just want to confirm if this is supported or
not, can’t really tell by reading the documentation here:

Create a Metric off Transaction Table to sum by period but filter by load date


Hello. I have imported a transaction list into Pigment that has two date
dimensions. One is “Month” and is = to an accounting period. The second date
dimension is the “Load Date” added automatically during the import. Each month,
I will append to the data list so at the end, this list could have GL data by
period for each load month. I am able to sum the data by period OR by load month
but I’m not able to say which load I want to use. My current formula is like
this: '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Amount[BY SUM: '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Department,
'02. Test Pivoted Push'.'GL Account', '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Month, '02. Test
Pivoted Push'.Subsidiary, '02. Test Pivoted Push'.Vendor] I want to add in a
condition where the results will be based on which load month is selected
(something like ]'02. Test Pivoted Push'.'Load Date'= Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month]
where ‘Set_Last_Opex_Push_Month’ will be determined by me.

Calculation with Aggregations


Hi Pigment community, I am trying to calculate our revenue per employee metric.
The metric should show Rev/FTE by month, and then, when aggregated by quarter,
it should take the total revenue for the quarter and divide it by average
monthly employees. The issue is that, for quarter it is summing up the total
employees instead of taking average. This is what I am getting in Pigment, for
instance: But what I want is the following: I tried showing “Total Revenue” as %
of metric “Employees”, but even there it is still taking the sum of 3 months
employees. I created table with Quarter dimension only, which fixes this, but I
wanted to have months there too.

Features Supported by the Data Assistant

Most of what you see in Views can be produced by the Data Assistant using simple
commands. At present, the Data Assistant does not support the following: Queries
on Lists and Tables Queries on Snapshots Custom aggregators (including average)
Sorting by Dimension property Pivoting Dimensions’ Rows and Columns Combined
charts Complex calculations Application variables Formatting Learn More Queries
on Lists and Tables If you have key information stored in Lists, consider
creating Metrics from that data so the AI can answer queries on it. For example:
you have a Dimension List that contains prospects over time your Members want to
know total prospects at year-end you create a dedicated Metric “Prospects count”
that counts up the number of prospects per Month from your List, and set it as

Automatic - scheduled Excel data import to Pigment - some easiest workaround?


I have read through most of the articles and questions. As I understand

Formula Playground needs to be more intuitive


We had to create a workforce roster of all employees with on target cash (or
OTE) in local and USD and it was very challenging to do this. Internally, on our
team, we tried to troubleshoot it ourselves and spent a few hours with no
success. Then we engaged our solutions consultant to do this and it took him 25
minutes to go through the spiderweb of how to take local currency multiplied by
current fx rates to get USD. In my past experience using other systems like
Adaptive, this would take 3 minutes. I’m bumping this up because I think there
is an opportunity to create an easier/more intuitive formula playground or
builder for some calculations.

Can Pigment recognise a date dimension list if not linked with the native "Day"
Dimension in Pigment ?


Hello hello Pigment community I am struggling over an issue and maybe someone
can help me. My goal is here to setup a dashboard to analyse our commercial
pipeline. So all the client listed in our pipeline are potentiel leads. We have
in this data several columns of date : last interaction date, last modified
date, expected close date, etc… with also another column : “extract date”
indicating the date of the extract of the whole data. The difficulty is that i
cannot link all of theses column with the “Day” dimension in Pigment because i
can’t have in the same metric several dimension linked with the “Day Dimension”.
Hence i will have to create dimension for all of theses columns, not linked to
the “Day dimension”, in order to be able to use them in my metrics. But my
question is : if i create a dimension in which my data is several “date”, will
pigment be able to recognize and organize it (in a graph for example) if the
data is not linked with a native Pigment dimension ? For example, i

Calculating Variance percentage for YTD values


We are trying to create a Income Statement for actuals vs Budget and previous
years (PY in the table below) value. Showing both monthly value and YTD. We have
our metrics on the rows in the table below. YTD is created as a calculated item
using Cumulate and all PY columns are also created as calculated items, using an
Offset on version Actuals. The problem is that I can’t get the column to the
very right “Var PY %” to show the right value, no matter how I define the
calculation priority. If I put it before YTD it is blank and if I put it after
YTD it calculates the variance as a percentage for each month and then sums all
these percentages together which results in a totally incorrect value. Any ide
how to set up the calculations to make this work?

Referencing the same number in a month over time


I have Services Bookings that I need to turn into Services Revenue over a set of
months based on % of completion. Each Services Bookings (ex: $100K) relates to a
product (Product A) that has a set number of services hours (ex: 300 hours) that
amortize over a set of months (ex: month 1=50, month 2=150, month 3=100). To
calculate revenue by month, I need to multiply Revenue $ per Hour ($100K/300
hours) by hours in each month. How do I reference the same Revenue $ per Hour in
each of the 3 months? As I book deals over time, each month will have different
Services Bookings that will impact the Revenue $ per Hour for that Services
Booking Month.

I am using this logic, its giving me the cardinality error.If I am replacing it
with Is Active <> TRUE, it doesn’t give the error ; but it checks only the
values which aren’t true, i.e. False, and doesn’t checks the Blank values.Any
suggestions? to resolve this as I need to check both “((Active? = FALSE) OR
