Process Analysis

Hi Community,I am struggling to reproduce a classic SQL join pattern in Celonis PQL and would appreciate some guidance. ### Data ModelI have an **N:1:M relationship** between three tables:- **Table A** – Material (1 record per material)- **Table B** – SalesOrg-related attributes   - N records per material   - Foreign key: `B.material_id → A.id`- **Table C** – Plant-related attributes   - M records per material   - Foreign key: `C.material_id → A.id` ### What I want to achieveFor each material, I want to display **all possible combinations** of SalesOrg and Plant, i.e. the cartesian product of tables B and C per material. ### SQL reference (works as expected)In SQL I would do something like:SELECT  A.id,  B.org, C.plantFROM ALEFT JOIN B ON A.id = B.material_idLEFT JOIN C ON A.id = C.material_id

I have a Knowledge Model, and I am not sure how do I import that knowledge model data into Celonis Forms. I am only getting options for UI aspects like text, table, numbers, etc .Please someone say how to do it ?

Hi everyone,I'm using the Conformance Checking feature in Analysis to model a process and run conformance checks on a case‑filtered event log (since multiple processes are included in the same dataset).When I switch to another process variant and upload a new process model, the Readable conformance explanations start referencing incorrect activity names. However, the underlying conformance checker results still show correct explanations.It seems related to the REMAP_INTS function that runs in the background, creating a temporary INT column on the activities table and mapping these integers to activity names. My assumption is that this mapping is not being refreshed when switching filters or uploading a new model.My main question:→ How can I reset the Readable conformance results after changing filters or uploading a new model?Secondary question:→ Is th

Hi - Is it possible to 1. Use PAM in a View or 2. Recreate the PAM formulas with PQL?

I’m encountering a refresh/dependency issue with a cascading dropdown setup in Celonis Studio. I have a bar chart histogram where the user selects: Dropdown #1 (Date field): “Ordered Date” or “Submit Date” Dropdown #2 (Time interval): Days / Weeks / Months / Quarter / Years The Bar Chart buckets the selected date field by the selected interval. Current logic / dependency chain:Dropdown #1 stores the selected date column PQL into: ai_purchase_analysis_histogram_dd Dropdown #2 is a dependent control: It uses ${ai_purchase_analysis_histogram_dd.pql} for its data. It stores the PQL into: graphtimeinterval Bar chart dimension uses: ${graphtimeinterval.pql}The issueThe chart updates when:

I have a date/time field, but somehow DAY_OF_WEEK(table.column) with %A as formatting always returns Thursday.To strip the time, I'm using Round_day() which makes 2024-07-03 from a 2024-07-03 21:23:35 timestamp, but returns Thursday, but it should be Wednesday for July 3rd. I can add a extra column from source tables, but prefer an easy PQL formula.PS: I'm using the new view experience. DAY_OF_WEEK ( ROUND_DAY( "eventproperties"."reportdate"))

Hi guys!I feel kind of stupid to ask this kind of question but I can’t find a way to show the current year (currenly “2026”) in a chart title or column header.In the studio it was easy:I created a variable as “static value” type and used thePQL “YEAR(TODAY())”.In my chart I added the result with a syntax like“Target Achievement (Year <%=current_year%>)” Now in the views I can’t use PQL to populate a variable.I can calculate the year in a KPI - but I can’t use that in a title or column header. What am I missing??I need this variable to be populated automatically, not hardcoded or assigned manually!Thank you guys,br Florian

Hello everyone,When a filter is applied (e.g., for a specific source system or company code), other filters still display values outside the selected scope with 0 values.Is there a way to hide these values completely instead of showing them as 0?  

Hello Everyone,I have a scenario where I need to calculate the automation rate of a process. However, there is a specific condition: I need to exclude all activities that occur between the Approval Task Start and Approval Task End. These approval segments may appear multiple (N) times throughout the entire process.Please let me know if you have encountered a similar situation before or if you have any recommended approach for handling this type of exclusion logic.

Hi everybody,I’m hoping to get some help/ additional information from you.I intend to start using the Weekday calendar option in order to get more precise throughput times in Celonis Studio. I understand that, in Data - Data Integration - Data Models I need to select the respective Data Model, select the Calendar tab, toggle on the “Use calendar options” on, select “Weekday calendar and then select working day and enter start- and end-time for them.My question/concern relates to the information that times are in UTC. This could be an issue, since activity timestamps in the activity table within this model are all in AET/AEDT. How do I deal with this?I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.Kind regards, Vladimir

Hi all,i got a strange issue. In view → table, i can see value “-” in column ‘Region’.However, when I try to search it in column search dialog , i can’t find it.The datasource of this column is coming from a customize excel sheet.  Can anyone help on this issue ?

Hi community.I have a question regarding WORKDAYS_BETWEEN function, currently, I’m trying to get the number of workdays between the creation date of a ticket and its current date, according to Argentine calendar. This is the PQL I have so far.WORKDAYS_BETWEEN ("XXXX"."fields$created",TODAY(),  FACTORY_CALENDAR(            "FACTORY_CALENDAR_ARGENTINA"."START",            "FACTORY_CALENDAR_ARGENTINA"."END"        ))For some reason, the PQL doesn’t return any results for any case. I tried this calculation with other functions like DAYS_BETWEEN instead, and it works. However, I need to take into consideration only the Argentine workdays.I’m not sure if WORKDAYS_BETWEEN supports the TODAY() functions. Has anyone faced a similar problem? Best!

Hey, my goal is to setup a line chart that is showing the “open tickets by time”. The issue is that the status of the ticket is changing in the db, means i cannot say: Last week I had 20 open tickets (because the status of these “old” tickets changed already to closed and not open anymore), this week i am having 14 open tickets → trend is great. Do you have an idea on how i can establish such a graph? Maybe over the activity table or with somehow backups?

Hello, I have an issue with a large number of Action Flow connections being saved under every analyst’s account, and wonder if it is possible to remove them, so that every analyst will only have 1 connection (via their API key) associated with the Action Flows. If it is unclear what I mean, under some Action Flow module (e.g. Query Data), there is a list of connections that you can use to get the module working, which I am trying to delete and establish only 1.  

Hey, I am curently working on creating a dashboard for employees as a view where they can simultanously write back to each line in a custom “comment”-column. Basically the inline editing function from the new Views.Sadly I want to do this for a rather large data model.  Is there a way to have inline editing or something similiar for bigger tables that exceed 30M Rows? Or can I put some sort of filter on that table in the front end to minimize the rows below 30M. Or does it have to be in the back end? Thank you!

Good morning,I need to create a date filter for the start date on a graph, and the date is a user input, so I create a Date Picker as input box and save it as a variable.I struggle with the PQL in my graph FILTER PQL statement:FILTER “table”.”datecolumn” >= {d ‘${my_start_date_variable}’} But I get this error message  How do I adjust my PQL to get the date format correct? The date picker has a standard format that cannot be changed. I also tried this, and it does not work:FILTER “table”.”datecolumn” >= ({d '${my_start_date_variable}'}, FORMAT ( '%Y-%m-%d')) Any assistance will be appreciated.  Thank you,Denise

Hi Team, I used Get Rows and added column names. Then created a Text Aggregator but i can;t see the columns created in the Get Rows, can anyone help me on this.  I need my column name like  “ 4.Invoice ID “ but i got only the Total number of bundles and Bundle Order Position. I tried publishing, ran only get row, re-loaded, even logout and retired.

I have a usecase in which I want to create an object-centric datamodel. According to the linked video below, it is possible to create events based on the attribute of an event (e.g. the event is order, but there are orders in different domains, e.g. games, clothing, …. which is saved as an attribute of this event). Populating this category as the event is possible in a simple case-centric example like explained in the video, but currently this seems impossible for object-centric models? Is this correct or am I missing something? I would like to avoid creating single events for each category.https://academy.celonis.com/learn/video/create-events-based-on-their-attributes

How do I get to see what is the trend of events and connections as a business user? Order count with common number of events/connections - default view nowOrder count with least number of events/connectionsOrder count with most number of events/connections Finally, I want to build a histogram to determine what is average number of events/connections for orders to identify trends. 

BackgroundThree tables and their relationship as below:VBAP(1) : VBFA(N) : Memo(1) RequirementI want to create a table with three columns: Column #1: “Reason Code”( From table: Memo , it is a dimension column)    , it is doneColumn #2 : “Memo#” ,  with PQL: COUNT(DISTINCT "memos"."vbeln" || ' ' || "memos"."mandt"   , it is done Need your help on this:Column#3:  “Total number of VBAP” . I don’t want the value of “Reason Code” cross filter table “VBAP” which means the all the value should be the same , for example: 13298   I have tried 2 PQL below:PQL#1:Global (  SUM (    PU_COUNT (      "Memos" ,      BIND (        "VBFA" ,        "VBAP"."VBELN"      )    )  )) PQL# 2:                GLOBAL ( COUNT_TABLE ( "VBAP"

Hello everyone,I want to connect a whole dashboard via profile view to another dashboard. The connection is EKKO.EKGRP → the profile view dashboard will be filtered according to the purchasing group EKKO.EKGRP - so that works fine. My question is whether it is possible to map further criteria to be synced automatically with the profile view. In my case, the sync filter functionality standalone does not work as the time dimension e.g. in dashboard 1 != dashboard 2. So in case, I have selected the year 2025 in dashboard 1 (Base _CEL_P2P_ACITIVITIES.EVENTTIME) - the sync filter does not work as the time dimension in dashboard 2 (CUSTOMIZEDTABLE.ERDAT) is not the same. Is this somehow possible? The profile view which I have connected also contains a filter bar which is not accessible when connecting it. Is this also possible? Thanks for your help! Best regardsJulia Bauer 

Hi all,I’d appreciate your help with creating a stacked bar chart.In my dataset I have cases which are generated due to 1-4 issues. I have Error_count (type INT) and Product (type STRING) as case attributes and have a KPI defined for case count.I’ve selected the component Stacked bar chart. I’ve selected Count of cases as the first stack, while Error count is a dimension.How do I stack the chart per product? I’ve attempted adding Product as an additional dimension, but that doesn’t get me the outcome I want.I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.Kind regards,Vladimir

Hi team,I have an issue with the Throughput Time Explorer in one of our Views. When I add it to a existing or New Tab, I get and error:Throughput Time Explorer [id:  ...]: Syntax error near [FIRST] after reading [“] at line 3. Please refer to PQL documentation for available syntax.Please see attached screentshot:I’d really apreciate your help with this. For context, I use the Througput Time Explorer in other packages with no issues whatsoever.Kind regards, Vladimir

Hello Community, maybe I am just blind and didn’t find it yet in the documentation, but could it be that there isn’t any possibility to determine if there is a number in a specific pattern?I’ve got a column “unit” which got values like ‘A123’ and ‘AB12’ - I need to filter out every unit which got no number on second position.Like in regex, I can do: ^(.)\d to get if the second character of my string is a number.SQL Patindex also can do very basic capturing groups like %[0-9]%  - which will give me 2 if the first number is on second place. At the moment I am doing this with this PQL:TO_INT( SUBSTRING("TA_MR_PKC_EVENT"."BEARBEITENDE_ORGA",1,1))Which results in NULL if the second position isn’t a number - I can work with that, I am totally fine about it -  but I am a little bit curious if there is an more elegant way in doing this. Best regards,Fabian
