SAP Analytics Cloud Need to Know Sessions

We started on March 7th 2023 and will continue (roughly) every 2 weeks (UK Time zone) showing existing users of SAP Analytics Cloud how to use it covering a number of key functional areas.

These sessions are aimed at organisations who already subscribe to SAP Analytics Cloud and users who want to create their own reports using SAP Analytics Cloud.  We expect you to already have access to your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, so that you can watch the webinar live and then create the content afterwards, using the recording as guidance.

During the webinars we will be using a sample data set in Excel, which I will send you once you have registered below.  The idea for using this Excel data is that over the course of the weeks, each session will build upon the work done in the previous session.  Therefore having one consistent data set means that you will be able to replicate the SAP Analytics Cloud content yourself.

You need to have an existing user to access your own SAP Analytics Cloud tenant and your SAP Analytics Cloud user needs to have the correct security rights to upload/save a dataset and create/save a report inside your SAP Analytics Cloud Tenant.
