The SAP BW live model is a type of live data connection that allows you to access data from SAP Business Warehouse (BW) systems without importing it into SAP Analytics Cloud. The SAP BW live model supports the following calculation types:

• Aggregation: You can use aggregation functions, such as SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, etc., to calculate the values of a measure based on a dimension or a filter.
• Currency conversion: You can use currency conversion to convert the values of a measure from one currency to another based on predefined exchange rates.
• Unit conversion: You can use unit conversion to convert the values of a measure from one unit of measurement to another based on predefined conversion factors.

The SAP BW live model does not support the following calculation types:

• Dimension to measure: You cannot convert a dimension to a measure in a SAP BW live model.
• Date difference: You cannot calculate the difference between two dates in a SAP BW live model.
• Story calculation: You cannot create story calculations in a SAP BW live model.

Therefore, the correct answer is Aggregation, as it is the calculation type that the SAP BW live model supports. Verified References:

The Optimized Design Experience is a new design option for creating stories in SAP Analytics Cloud. It offers several usability improvements and performance enhancements compared to the Classic Design Experience. However, it also has some limitations anddifferences, such as the unavailability of some elements that are present in the Classic Design Experience1.

The following filter options are supported in the Optimized Design Experience:

• Widget: This option allows you to apply filters to a specific widget, such as a chart, table, or map, that are based on the same model. You can use the Filter area in the Builder pane to pre-filter the data that the widget displays2.
• Story: This option allows you to apply filters to all widgets in a story that are based on the same model. You can use the Story Filters tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to filter by2.
• Input Control: This option allows you to add interactive filters to a story page that allow the story viewers to filter data, compare figures, and explore relationships directly from the page. You can use the Input Controls tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to use as input controls3.

The following filter options are not supported in the Optimized Design Experience:

• Controls: This option is not a valid filter option in SAP Analytics Cloud. It may refer to input controls, which are supported, or chart controls, which are not supported. Chart controls are buttons that allow you to change the chart type, switch between absolute and relative values, or drill up and down in a hierarchy. Chart controls are available only in the Classic Design Experience4.
• Section: This option is not a filter option, but a way of organizing a story into different parts based on a dimension. A section creates a separate page for each member of the dimension, and displays the same widgets on each page with the data filtered by the section dimension. Sections are available in both the Optimized and Classic Design Experiences.

A page type is a property that determines how the elements on a page are arranged and displayed. There are three page types in SAP Analytics Cloud: Canvas, Grid, and Responsive. The page type that is recommended when designing stories is Responsive, as it offers the following advantages:

• It automatically adjusts the layout and size of the elements to fit different screen sizes and orientations.
• It provides a consistent and optimal viewing experience across different devices, such as desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
• It supports all types of elements, such as charts, tables, geo maps, images, text, etc.
• It supports advanced features, such as linked analysis, input controls, story filters, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is Responsive, as it is the recommended page type when designing stories. 

A calculated measure is a type of measure that is derived from an expression or formula based on existing measures or dimensions. You can use calculated measures to perform various calculations on your data, such as ratios, percentages, differences, etc. However, some calculated measures may result in errors or invalid values when the denominator is null or zero. For example, if you try to calculate the profit margin as (Profit / Revenue) * 100, and the revenue is zero, you will get an error. In such cases, SAP Analytics Cloud displays a symbol instead of a value for the calculated measure. The symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero is # (hash sign). Therefore, the correct answer is #, as it is the symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero in a calculated measure. Verified References:

You can define thresholds in the model or in the story. Thresholds are rules that apply conditional formatting to measures based on certain criteria, such as values, ranges, or percentages. You can define thresholds in the model to apply them to all stories that use the model, or you can define thresholds in the story to apply them to a specific widget or page. You cannot define thresholds in the input control or in the page; these are different types of elements that can be used in a story. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Thresholds]

The SAP Digital Boardroom supports engaging with a remote audience through annotations and screen sharing. Annotations allow users to highlight or draw on the screen using different colors and shapes, which can help to emphasize key points or explain complex concepts. Screen sharing allows users to share their screen with other participants who join the digital boardroom session via a web browser, which can help to facilitate collaboration and communication. Data Analyzer and story editing are not features that support engaging with a remote audience; they are features that allow users to analyze data or modify stories in the digital boardroom.

The presentation types for the Digital Boardroom are dashboard and agenda. Dashboard allows users to create a custom layout of widgets and pages on a large screen, such as a wall-mounted monitor or a projector. Agenda allows users to create a structured sequence of pages and topics that can be navigated using a touch screen, such as a tablet or a laptop. Custom and canvas are not presentation types for the Digital Boardroom; they are options that can be used to design dashboard layouts or story pages.

Unbooked is the term that refers to dimension members with no numeric data values associated with them. For example, if a dimension has members A, B, C, and D, and only A and B have numeric values in a measure column, then C and D are unbooked members. Booked, transformed, and exception aggregation are not terms that describe dimension members. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Unbooked Data]

This is one of the story guidelines recommended by SAP Analytics Cloud. According to the course material1, “When designing your stories, keep them as simple as possible. In general, it is easier for users to consume story content if it is present in smaller bits rather than have a few large stories with many pages to navigate.” The other options are not mentioned as guidelines in the course material.

The story page types that are imported into the SAP Digital Boardroom builder are responsive and canvas. Responsive pages are designed to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations, making them suitable for different devices and scenarios in the digital boardroom. Canvas pages are designed for desktop browsers and fixed layouts, making them suitable for large screens and presentations in the digital boardroom. Grid pages are not imported into the digital boardroom builder; they are designed for tabular data analysis and printing. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Digital Boardroom]

When break grouping is enabled, the sort is applied to the inner dimension of the chart or table, according to the SAP Analytics Cloud Help1. Break grouping is a feature that allows you to sort data points in a chart or table by breaking the grouping of the dimensions in the category axis2. For example, if you have a chart with two dimensions in the category axis, such as Country and Product, and you enable break grouping, you can sort the data points by Product instead of Country2. This can help you compare the performance of different products across countries. You can also choose to sort by measure values or custom order2.

The other options are not correct. Option A. The outer dimension is the dimension that is not affected by the break grouping feature. Option C. The vertical dimension and option D. The horizontal dimension are not relevant terms for break grouping, as it depends on how you arrange the dimensions in the category axis.

The correct answers are C. Have a clear message and D. Use corporate branding standards. These are some of the guidelines that SAP recommends you follow when you create a story. According to the course material1, “Your current reporting and dashboardstandards will suffice for SAP Analytics Cloud stories. And if you do not have reporting or dashboard standards, this is the perfect time to create them.” The course material also suggests that you should “have a clear message and purpose for your story” and "use corporate branding standards to ensure consistency and professionalism"1.

The other options are not mentioned as guidelines in the course material. Option A. Use grouping is a feature that allows you to group data points in a chart or table, but it is not a general design principle. Option B. Avoid pie charts is a common advice for data visualization, but it is not specific to SAP Analytics Cloud stories.
