• Key Concepts: 
  Weighted scoring is a feature of SAP Data Services that allows users to assign weights to different data elements in order to prioritize them. This feature is useful when dealing with large datasets, as it allows users to quickly identify the most important elements and focus their efforts on those. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use weighted scoring, users must first define the weights for each data element. This can be done by assigning a numerical value to each element, with higher values indicating higher importance. Once the weights have been assigned, users can then use the weighted scoring feature to prioritize their data elements and focus their efforts on the most important ones. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning weights, it is important to consider the context of the data and how it will be used. For example, if the data is being used for predictive analytics, then certain elements may be more important than others. It is also important to consider how the weights will interact with each other; for example, if two elements have similar weights, then they may not be prioritized correctly.
