• Key Concepts: 
  Exception aggregation is a feature of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to quickly identify and analyze data points that are outside of the expected range. This feature allows users to quickly identify and analyze outliers in their data, which can help them make better decisions. Exception aggregation can be used to identify trends, anomalies, and other patterns in the data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use exception aggregation in SAC, users must first create a data set with the desired data points. Once the data set is created, users can then select the “Exception Aggregation” option from the “Analyze” tab. This will open a window where users can select the desired data points and set the desired thresholds for each point. Once the thresholds are set, SAC will automatically identify any data points that are outside of the expected range and highlight them for further analysis. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using exception aggregation in SAC, it is important to remember to adjust the thresholds as needed. This will ensure that only relevant outliers are identified and analyzed. Additionally, it is important to remember that exception aggregation is not a substitute for manual analysis; it should be used as a tool to help identify potential outliers that may require further investigation.
