• Key Concepts: 
  Numeric Distribution is a feature of SAP Demand Signal Management (CA-DSM) that allows users to create and manage numerical distributions of data. This feature enables users to quickly and accurately analyze data and identify trends in the data. It also allows users to create custom distributions that can be used for forecasting and other predictive analytics. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Numeric Distribution, users must first select the data they want to analyze. This can be done by selecting a specific field or by selecting multiple fields. Once the data is selected, users can then create a numerical distribution by setting the parameters for the distribution. This includes setting the range of values, the number of bins, and the type of distribution (e.g., normal, uniform, etc.). Once the parameters are set, users can then view the distribution and analyze it for trends or patterns. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a numerical distribution, it is important to consider the range of values that will be used in the distribution. If the range is too narrow, it may not provide enough information to accurately analyze the data. Additionally, it is important to consider the number of bins that will be used in the distribution. Too few bins may not provide enough detail, while too many bins may make it difficult to identify patterns in the data.
