A few weeks ago I published a post walking through two approaches to dynamic bulk insert in Sigma. One used native action sequences with a loop + condition pattern that required copy and pasting the same action blocks over and over. The other called a...
Every organization right now feels the pressure to "do AI." Executives want chatbots, business users want to ask questions in plain language and get instant answers, and someone in the boardroom saw a demo of natural language querying so now it's on the roadmap. Demand...
When I first joined InterWorks, I dove straight into Sigma. My first project was building a revenue forecasting app, and more recently my client work has been centered around Sigma development. However, my role here at InterWorks includes continuing to maintain subject matter expertise in Power...
In my very first Sigma blog, I will show you how to create a dynamic sales spreadsheet with a custom “Create Note per Row” and comment history workflow. The idea came through my recent client project within a finance team. We had a weekly sales breakdown table showing closed deals, product...
May has come and gone, and with it comes the change of seasons around the InterWorks headquarters. The cicadas have started singing, the afternoon heat returns and the sun never seems to set. It's a nice change of pace. Ask me again in two months...
The first complex app I built in Sigma taught me more about architecture than it taught me about Sigma. It started simply enough: One input table, some additional logic on top, a button that wrote records back to the warehouse. Then complexity crept in: A...
I spent years trying to kill Excel. Not literally. But as an analytics architect, I approached every spreadsheet like a building that needed to be condemned. Manual data entry. No source of truth. Formulas nested inside formulas. One wrong change and the whole thing breaks. I was...
The most expensive mistake you can make on a Sigma App project isn't a technical one. It's starting to build before you've clearly defined what you're building. I've seen projects double in scope mid build because the initial conversation used "Sigma App" to mean something...
I'm a code first person. Given a choice between clicking through a UI and writing SQL, I'll write the SQL. It's faster, clearer and I can read it later. That preference isn't a problem in Sigma. The challenge I ran into wasn't that Sigma didn't...
Why Bulk Insert Is Hard in Sigma Sigma's writeback is designed for row by row input. A user fills out a form, hits submit, one row gets written. That works well for simple data entry. The problem comes when one user action needs to produce multiple output...
Why a School Directory Needs More Than Dashboards School directories rarely fail because of complexity. They fail because of process. In most environments: The warehouse holds the authoritative staff and student data Dashboards display it Updates happen somewhere else That separation creates delay, duplication and mistrust. Administrators export...
If you're planning a Sigma migration in the next six to twelve months, something just changed that's worth paying attention to. Sigma recently introduced workbooks-as-code into private beta. It's still early, still limited in scope and not yet generally available. But the capability is real,...
Nothing hurts quite as bad as losing data. We recently helped a client recover from a production data loss in a Sigma app — not from a bad import or a broken formula, but from a version restore followed by a tag update. Sigma did...
Sigma continues to impress in the world data and AI. While legacy vendors continue to operate off hype and half-baked features, Sigma is enabling organizations to build and deploy AI apps that are secure, governed and scalable — right now. Helping Sigma in their mission is...
As Solutions Engineers and Architects, our mindset around BI tools and data platforms needs to continuously shift toward treating data and analytics as the product, as opposed to informational outputs for once-off consumption. We are no longer responsible for proposing solutions that solely consider the...
Months are kinda feeling like weeks this year, right? I'm not the only one feeling that? Somehow, we're about a quarter of the way through 2026, and things aren't feeling like they're slowing down anytime soon. But that's okay! Whatever the year brings, the InterWorks blog...
Hey there, folks! This wild ride keeps right on going, doesn't it? Nevertheless, so do we! This month on the InterWorks blog, we had a record-setting number of blogs come out. From start to finish, we managed to get 32 blogs out into the aether, which is...
Historically, BI tools drew a clear line between the people who model the data and the people who build the dashboards. Sigma collapses that gap. You're working directly against the warehouse, operating on non-aggregated data with a bottom-up, spreadsheet-like approach, and transforming the data as you go. That flexibility is...
A common question we've been getting lately is whether Sigma supports multi-layer maps. More specifically, people want to know if it's possible to display polygons, lines and points on the same map; for example, showing a ski resort boundary while also displaying lift lines and...
Sigma's action framework has come a long way. Bulk update and bulk delete gave app builders serious power over input tables. But one gap remained: There's no native way to insert multiple rows with a single action. Sure, you could chain 48 insert row actions...
