Data modeling

Hierarchies (Beta)

Use the hierarchy feature for grouping the data and calculations at various category levels, and to keep track of the order between the coarsest and finest granularity of data. See Hierarchies.

Functions

Custom functions (Beta)

Use custom functions in your Sigma practice to encode business logic instead of repeating it, encapsulate complex calculations that are common business use cases for easier use, and to expose your proprietary warehouse functions and make them more consumable. See Custom functions.

Workbook elements

AI-enhanced input tables (Beta)

Input tables now support AI-generated columns. You can use structured AI prompts to perform data classification, sentiment analysis (opinion mining), and column fill (data synthesis). For more information, see Create AI-enhanced input tables.

The AI functionality utilizes the OpenAI integration, which allows Sigma to leverage OpenAI language models (e.g., GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models that power ChatGPT). For information about AI security and data handling, refer to Frequently asked questions in Manage OpenAI integration.

Button stretch

Button elements now support a Stretch option in the Alignment > Horizontal property. This option provides more control over button displays by allowing you to set the background or border to span the full width of the element. For more information about button elements, see Create a one-click action button.

Workbook features

Default blue in custom themes

Sigma now features a new default blue (#0059EB) across the product. To preserve the appearance of existing workbooks, the color change has not been applied to custom workbook themes that utilized the previous default blue as the primary color. You must manually update custom workbook themes to change the primary color to the new default blue.

Copy + paste workbook pages (Beta)

Copy a page from one workbook and paste it in another. For more information, see Copy and paste workbook pages.
