Did you know… Shortcuts in Lumira Desktop?
Below are some shortcuts that you may or may not be aware of in Lumira Desktop:
1) A dimension can be added in different ways:
- Double click
- Drag and drop
- Select from the plus button
2) Chart builder panel can be shown on the right (default is left)
3) Click on the chart icon to pick a chart instead of the dropdown menu unless you want a specific type (Save one click!)
4) Under Measures, click on the Option button beside a measure to see a list of additional functionalities.
“Did you know…” is a series of short blogs by the BI & Analytics Competence Centre, a global team within SAP engineering focused 100% on customer success. They are a useful reminder of Lumira hints, tips and best practices.
Hi Edward,
I like the idea of your blog series and it is a nice way to share information, but isn't that a bit too basic knowledge to share as a blog? You know, Lumira has a strong wiki and a awesome set of documentation. It makes it easy to find all the information you shared.
Nevertheless the idea is strong, so why not having a bigger example and maybe also create a github-folder (or something similar) to download some data to get the hands dirty and have a blog series which shows how to calculate and redfine the data.

(Maybe to a real world example: sales-areas with ERP or S/4 datatables 😉 )
Thanks Florian for your suggestion. I will review and improve in the future.
+1 to Florian. Also please note that "how-to's" are supposed to be posted as documents, not blogs (see here). Blog format would work if it was an announcement of a new feature in version X, for example.
I understand the idea here is to have "short blogs", but if you look around you might notice that traditionally the SCN blogs have a little more "meat on their bones".
http://ivervandezand.blogspot.be this is my personal blog with some similar ideas. The pareto examples show some best practices in Lumira accompanied by little videos
