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:

Datapoint comments are stored in the data model, not in the widget, page, or story. This means that datapoint comments are visible across different stories that use the same model, and they are preserved when a story is duplicated or exported.

To improve performance in stories, users should use JPG images instead of PNG images, as JPG images have smaller file sizes and load faster. Users should also minimize the number of linked models in a story, as each linked model adds complexity and increases the loading time. Using unbooked data or exception aggregations does not affect performance in stories. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Performance Optimization]

SAP Datasphere is a data source that does not require a model to be created in SAP Analytics Cloud. You can use a SAP Datasphere connection to access or import data directly into your story, with no need for a SAP Analytics Cloud model to be created1

SAP Business Warehouse, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence document are data sources that require a model to be created in SAP Analytics Cloud. You cannot access or import data from these sources directly into your story, but you need to create a model in SAP Analytics Cloud using the connections to these sources234

This is a calculation type that you can use to categorize dimension members, according to the SAP Analytics Cloud Help1. A measure-based dimension is a dimension that is created from a measure by applying a range or a binning function1. For example, you can create a measure-based dimension called Age Group from a measure called Age by using the binning function to group the age values into different categories, such as 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, and so on1. This way, you can analyze your data by the age groups instead of the individual age values1.

The other options are not correct. Option A. Difference from is a calculation type that you can use to compare the difference between two measures or two members of a dimension2. For example, you can use this calculation type to show the difference between the sales revenue of this year and last year2. Option B. Dimension to measure is a calculation type that you can use to convert a dimension to a measure by counting the number of distinct values in the dimension3. For example, you can use this calculation type to count the number of unique customers in your data3. Option D. Calculated dimension is a calculation type that you can use to create a new dimension from an existing dimension by applying a formula or an expression4. For example, you can use this calculation type to create a new dimension called Region from an existing dimension called Country by using a formula to assign each country to a region4.

Linked Analysis is a feature that allows you to link multiple widgets in a story based on the same model. You can use Linked Analysis to do the following:

• Filter data in multiple widgets by selecting a data point in one widget. For example, if you select Soft Drinks in a chart, all the other linked widgets will show data for Soft Drinks only.
• Drill down or up in multiple widgets by changing the level of detail in one widget. For example, if you drill down from Product Category to Product Name in a table, all the other linked widgets will show data for Product Name as well.
• Highlight data in multiple widgets by hovering over a data point in one widget. For example, if you hover over Germany in a geo map, all the other linked widgets will highlight the data for Germany.

To use Linked Analysis, you need to have the following:

• Multiple widgets based on the same model. You can link any type of widget, such as charts, tables, geo maps, etc., as long as they are based on the same model.
• A common dimension or measure between the widgets. You can link widgets based on any dimension or measure that they share in common.

You do not need to have the following for Linked Analysis:

• Multiple stories. You can use Linked Analysis within the same story. You cannot link widgets across different stories.
• Multiple data models. You can use Linked Analysis with one model only. You cannot link widgets based on different models.
• Multiple pages. You can use Linked Analysis within the same page. You cannot link widgets across different pages.

Therefore, the correct answer is Multiple widgets, as it is the necessary element for Linked Analysis. Verified References:

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]

You can define a calculation for a table in three ways:

• Table: You can add a simple calculation by selecting two measures in a table, right-clicking, choosing Add calculation, and choosing the calculation you want. You can also add a repeating or single column or row to a table by right-clicking on a measure or dimension and choosing Add Calculation1.
• Calculation editor: You can open the calculation editor from the drop-down menu of Measures or Dimensions in the Designer Panel and create complex calculations for a chart or table. For each type of calculation, a new calculated member is created. You can also use dimension attributes as part of a calculation2.
• Story: You can create a calculated measure in the Builder pane of a story. When setting up your calculation, you apply the typical formula functions, conditions, and operators to the data contained in your model. Calculated measures allow you to perform mathematical and Boolean operations on your data1.

According to the SAP Help Portal1, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the recommended image file type for optimal story performance in SAP Analytics CloudStory Design. SVG is a vector-based format that can scale to any size without losing quality or clarity. SVG images also have a smaller file size than other image formats, such as JPEG, PNG, or BMP, which are raster-based formats that store pixel data. Raster images can lose quality or become blurry when scaled up or down, and they also have a larger file size than vector images. Therefore, using SVG images can improve the loading speed and responsiveness of your stories, as well as the visual appearance of your images2.

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.
