Introduction

With the SAC add-in, you have the capability to duplicate existing tables within a workbook. When you duplicate a table, you eliminate the need to retrace your steps for navigating to the data source after insertion. The SAC add-in also includes quick options to remove any unwanted tables from the worksheet or the workbook.

Copy/Paste Table

To copy an existing table and paste it in the same workbook:

1

Select a cell in the table you want to copy.

2

From the Table group within the SAP Analytics Cloud tab expand the Copy Table.

3

Select Copy Table.

Note

The Copy Table option will only be active if you have a cell selected within a table.  Additionally, this option will only be active if the table has been refreshed and is not in the mass data entry mode utilized for planning.

4

Select an empty cell within the sheet that you want to paste the table to.

5

Expand the Copy Table button and choose Paste Table.

Note

If the table you copied and pasted is a table with variables, the variable prompt window will appear so that you are able to define variable values as needed.

Copy/Paste Dimensions

There are some limitations related to where you can paste a copied table, including the platform and application. Please refer to the table below for more information.
