• Key Concepts: 
  Q table is a type of table in SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that stores data from InfoCubes. It is used to store data from multiple InfoCubes in a single table, allowing for easier access and analysis of the data. The Q table is also used to store data from multiple InfoProviders, such as InfoObjects and MultiProviders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Q tables are created in the BW system by using the “Create Q Table” function. This function allows users to select the InfoCubes or InfoProviders that they want to include in the Q table. Once the Q table is created, users can access the data stored in it by using the “Query Designer” tool. This tool allows users to create queries that can be used to analyze the data stored in the Q table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Q table, it is important to ensure that all of the InfoCubes or InfoProviders that are included in the Q table have compatible data structures. This will ensure that all of the data stored in the Q table can be accessed and analyzed correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data stored in the Q table is up-to-date and accurate.
