Welcome to the SAP Analytics Cloud Need to Know series of webinar recordings where I (Lead Solution Advisor for Analytics and Planning Solution -
LinkedIn Profile) have been showing you how to use SAP Analytics Cloud.
We started on March 7th 2023 and (roughly) every 2 weeks (UK Time zone) showed existing users of SAP Analytics Cloud how to use it covering a number of key functional areas.
These sessions are aimed at organisations who already subscribe to SAP Analytics Cloud and users who want to create their own reports using SAP Analytics Cloud. We expect you to already have access to your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant.
During the recordings below we used a sample data set in Excel -
download the Excel File here The idea for using this Excel data is that over the course of the recordings below, each recording will build upon the work done in the previous recording. Please go through each recording in the order below. Therefore having one consistent data set means that you will be able to replicate the SAP Analytics Cloud content yourself.
You need to have an existing user to access your own SAP Analytics Cloud tenant and your SAP Analytics Cloud user needs to have the correct security rights to upload/save a dataset and create/save a report inside your SAP Analytics Cloud Tenant.
