To combine two dimensions, Firstname and Lastname, into a single dimension displaying as Lastname, Firstname in a live data model, you should create a calculated dimension in the data model. This calculated dimension will concatenate the two fields into one, according to the specified format. This approach allows for the creation of a new dimension that can be used across various reports and analyses within the model, maintaining the integrity of the original dimensions.

When the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) modeler removes the first three characters from a public dimension imported from a source system, this change impacts Stories that use this dimension. Specifically, any visualizations, calculations, or filters within those storiesthat rely on the original dimension values may need to be adjusted to account for the change. This modification does not affect the source system or public datasets directly, but it can impact how the data appears and behaves in stories that use the modified dimension.

SAP Analytics Cloud supports two primary types of data connections: Live Data Connection and Import Data Connection. Live Data Connection establishes a direct link to the data source, allowing real-time data access without replicating the data into SAP Analytics Cloud. This is ideal for scenarios where up-to-the-minute data is crucial, and data volume is large. On the other hand, Import Data Connection involves copying data from the source into SAP Analytics Cloud, which is suitable for scenarios where data doesn't change frequently, or there's a need for data transformation and enrichment within SAP Analytics Cloud.

If SAP Analytics Cloud interprets a 'Year' column as a measure instead of a dimension, it should be changed to a dimension to ensure it is treated as a calendar year. This adjustment can be made within the model or dataset settings, where the column's role can be switched from a measure (quantitative value) to a dimension (qualitative value). Treating 'Year' as a dimension allows it to be used appropriately in time-based analyses, such as trends over time, without being aggregated like a numerical measure.

Input controls in a story in SAP Analytics Cloud can be used for changing dimensions or measures displayed in a table and for filtering data on a page. Input controls provide a way for users to interactively modify the view of the data, such as selecting which dimensions or measures to display, or filtering the entire page's content based on selected criteria, enhancing the interactivity and flexibility of data analysis within stories.

In SAP Analytics Cloud, a Time Series Forecast predictive scenario can write back to a planning model. Time Series Forecasting leverages historical data to predict future values over a specified time horizon, using statistical or machine learning methods. This feature is particularly useful in planning and forecasting processes, where future values are predicted based on past trends and seasonality. The ability to write these forecasts back into a planning model allows for the integration of predictive insights into the planning process, enhancing decision-making and strategic planning.

In SAP Analytics Cloud, a data model must contain at least "Dimensions" and "Measures" to be functional. Dimensions are the qualitative aspects of the data (e.g., time, geography, product categories) that provide the context for analysis. Measures, on the other hand, are the quantitative data points (e.g., sales, costs, quantities) that are analyzed within the context provided by dimensions. Both are fundamental components of a data model, enabling structured data analysis and reporting.

To ensure that labels are always visible on a column chart in a story, you should select the "Avoid Data Label Overlap" checkbox in the chart's settings. This option adjusts the labels' positioning to prevent overlap, making them visible at all times without the need for mouse-over interaction.
