SAP Analytics Cloud Roadmap Webcast Update
SAP’s Ty Miller gave this webcast yesterday and he spoke fast (he had less than 30 minutes to present), so my notes are very light :).
For a longer version, please join us at 2018 ASUG Annual Conference, ASUG10040 session, and check out the grid here. We also have several upcoming ASUG webcasts on this topic – they can be found here.
As with all roadmaps, the legal disclaimer applies that anything in the future is subject to change.

What did I miss? If you can’t make ASUG Annual Conference, post your questions below and I’ll try to get them answered.
Excellent explanation as always!
Has csv export in the explore mode been mentioned?
Hi,
I’m not too sure if this kind of feature request would be considered high priority (but perhaps you know different, through your network?), although it would be a ‘low hanging fruit’ in terms of development effort.
this sort of features totally freaks some customers out, a wide-open door on digital data (ok, I mean in the case of ‘live’ enterprise data), and absolutely would not be desirable.
Others, however, maintain that they can’t use software without being able to export out to excel/ .csv.
actually this is possible at the Chart-level already for Live data, i think Hana only (feature can be disabled by Admins). This is also possible at the Model level for Import connections. (user need modelling permissions to do so )
