Models in SAP Analytics Cloud

In SAP Analytics Cloud, you create models that act as the basis for all data output. A model is a representation of the business data of an organization. It is a high-level design that exposes the analytic requirements of your end users. To determine what content to include in your model, you must first identify the columns from the source data on which users need to query. Then, to establish the role played by each column, identify whether it is a measure column or a dimensional attribute. We will be learning these attributes and many more steps that will assist us in creating and viewing models and other data filtration as well.

The following topics will be covered in the chapter:

Introduction to models
Understanding measures and dimensions
Planning and analytical models
Creating a new analytical model
Viewing model details in the modeler interface...

Good book to go through the Analytics solution in the cloud. It is well ilustrated and easy to understand. Good option for the ones who are starting on Analytics or just getting in touch with the new solution in cloud.

I read the comments of another reviewer and have had the same issues. The reason for the issues is not a fault of the book, but of the fact that SAP are constantly updating SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) including the user interface. Some of the things the book suggest you do are now accessible elsewhere on the screen and not immediately evident. If you can get past this annoyance this is actually a very good book which takes you through each element of the software in details with examples.SAC comes with its own sample files, although the 30 day trial does not allow you to access onsite databases, just csv and excel files. You may need “SAC connectors” to access these as well as the full version. At £15 a month for access to SAC with a minimum 12 month term it’s not expensive.

I am trying to ram p up on SAC. This book was published in 2017 and it is obsolete. I can't follow the book to produce results because the environment and process of doing things has totally changed. DON'T buy this book. IT IS OUTDATED and they are not going to give me an update. wrong.

Off to a rough startI successfully downloaded the SAP trial software and imported the spreadsheet Bocage.xlsx file with no problems.But when I tried to change the column Date from type Dimension to Time as on page 39, I can't. The Time value is grayed out and can not be selected.When I tried to change the column Quantity Sold from type Dimension to Measure as on page 40, you guessed it -- Measure is grayed out.When I attempted to create a location dimension per page 41 and follow the instructions to "Click the ellipsis button appearing next to the Longitude column's heading then select By Coordinate from the submenu, I find the following:1. There is no ellipsis button appearing next to the column head for Longitude2. There is no submenu from which to select the value Coordinate.The author recommends downloading the SAP trial for learning purposes, but he obviously has not done so or suggested resolution of these issues.Hopefully the author or the reviewer will post instructions in how to use the SAP trial system to overcome these issues. Otherwise the book is worthless
