  • Key Concepts: 
    A complex key figure is a type of key figure used in SAP's FS-BA-SD Source Data component. It is a combination of two or more key figures that are combined to create a new, more complex key figure. This type of key figure can be used to analyze data in more detail and provide more accurate insights. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use a complex key figure, you must first define the two or more key figures that will be combined. Once the key figures have been defined, you can then create the complex key figure by combining them. This can be done by using the “Create Complex Key Figure” option in the SAP menu. Once the complex key figure has been created, it can be used in reports and analyses just like any other key figure. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a complex key figure, it is important to consider how the two or more key figures will interact with each other. For example, if one of the key figures is a sum and the other is an average, then the resulting complex key figure will be an average of the sum. It is also important to consider how the data will be displayed when using a complex key figure.
