• Key Concepts: 
  Aggregation ratio is a term used in the Financial Services - Banking and Securities (FS-BA-SD) source data component of SAP. It is a numerical value that is used to measure the degree of aggregation of data. It is calculated by dividing the total number of records in a dataset by the number of distinct values in the dataset. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The aggregation ratio can be used to determine the level of detail in a dataset. A higher aggregation ratio indicates that there is more detail in the dataset, while a lower aggregation ratio indicates that there is less detail. This can be useful for determining which datasets are most appropriate for a particular analysis. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the aggregation ratio, it is important to consider the size of the dataset. A larger dataset will generally have a higher aggregation ratio than a smaller dataset. Additionally, it is important to consider the type of data being analyzed when calculating the aggregation ratio. Different types of data may have different levels of detail, which can affect the aggregation ratio. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The aggregation ratio can be used in conjunction with other metrics, such as average record size and average record count, to gain further insight into the structure and content of a dataset. Additionally, it can be used to compare datasets from different sources or different time periods to determine which datasets are most appropriate for a particular analysis.
