  • Key Concepts: 
    Key Performance Indicator (KPI) scope is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to define the scope of their KPIs. This scope can be set to either global or local, and it determines how the KPI is calculated. Global KPIs are calculated across all data points, while local KPIs are calculated within a specific context. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To set the KPI scope in SAC, open the KPI editor and select the “Scope” tab. Here, you can choose between global and local. If you select global, the KPI will be calculated across all data points. If you select local, you can specify a context for the KPI calculation. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When setting the KPI scope, consider what type of calculation you need for your KPI. If you need to compare values across different data points, then a global KPI is likely the best choice. However, if you need to compare values within a specific context, then a local KPI may be more appropriate.
