• Key Concepts: 
  Analysis Path Framework (APF) is a component of SAP Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) that enables users to create and manage analysis paths. Analysis paths are used to analyze data from multiple sources and provide insights into the performance of an organization. APF provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and managing analysis paths, as well as a set of tools for analyzing data.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use APF, users must first create an analysis path. This can be done by selecting the desired data sources, such as SAP BW, SAP HANA, or other external sources. Once the data sources have been selected, users can then define the analysis path by selecting the desired measures and dimensions. The analysis path can then be saved and used for further analysis.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an analysis path, it is important to consider the type of data that will be analyzed. Different types of data require different types of analysis paths. For example, if analyzing financial data, it may be beneficial to create an analysis path that includes measures such as revenue, expenses, and profits. Additionally, it is important to consider the type of visualization that will be used when creating an analysis path. Different types of visualizations may require different types of measures and dimensions.
