How to use this

Preparing for a SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) interview

Interviewers for fresher and early-career roles test fundamentals and whether you have used the system. Understand each answer instead of memorising it, and be ready to describe how you would do the task in SAP. If you have not practised yet, say so honestly and explain what you have learned.

Questions

10 SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) questions with answers

  1. What is a model in SAP Analytics Cloud?
    A model is the data structure behind a story, with dimensions, measures and hierarchies. SAC has analytic models and planning models.
  2. What is the difference between live and acquired data?
    Live connections query the source system in real time without copying data. Acquired (import) data is copied into SAC and refreshed on a schedule.
  3. What are dimensions and measures?
    Dimensions are descriptive attributes such as region or product. Measures are numeric values such as revenue or quantity.
  4. What is the difference between a story and an analytic application?
    A story is a report or dashboard built from charts, tables and filters. An analytic application adds scripting for custom behaviour and more control over interaction.
  5. What are calculated and restricted measures?
    A calculated measure is derived using a formula. A restricted measure limits a measure to specific dimension values.
  6. What are data actions?
    Planning functions that copy, allocate or calculate data in a planning model, often triggered by a user or a schedule.
  7. What are Smart Insights and Smart Discovery?
    Smart Insights explains why a value changed. Smart Discovery analyses a dataset to find drivers and patterns automatically.
  8. How are security and roles managed?
    Users are assigned to roles that define permissions, and teams can be used to share content. Data access control restricts the data a user can see.
  9. What are planning versions?
    Versions such as actual, budget and forecast, which let users compare and manage different planning scenarios.
  10. How does SAC compare with SAP BW?
    SAC is a cloud tool for visualisation and planning. BW is a data warehouse for storing and modelling large data. They are often used together.
