Modeling in SAP Analytics Cloud
Introduction
In SAP Analytics Cloud, dimensions, attributes, measures, and hierarchies work together to provide a multidimensional view of data, allowing users to analyze data from different perspectives. This multidimensional view of data is called a model.
Within a model, dimensions are used to group related data together, attributes provide additional context, and measures add quantitative values to the data. Hierarchies can be used to organize dimension members into a logical structure, allowing users to navigate and analyze data at different levels of detail.
Using dimensions, attributes, measures, and hierarchies, users can analyze data from multiple angles and gain insights into their business. They can drill down into specific categories or products, view data by geographic area or time interval, and filter data by customer segment to get a complete picture of their business’s performance.
