Overview

In “SAP Analytics Cloud” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know Models and live connections, Creating stories and Calculated measures, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.

Reports are only as good as their data model and design. Our BI courses show how to connect data from different sources, model it cleanly and turn it into understandable dashboards – with Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, SAP Analytics Cloud, Looker Studio and other tools. SAP Analytics Cloud is a one-day workshop with compact input and plenty of exercises on realistic datasets. You build your own reports, learn proven design patterns and receive templates that help you standardize reporting in your organization.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
