  • Key Concepts: 
    Point of View (POV) is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to create different perspectives of their data. It enables users to quickly switch between different views of the same data set, allowing them to analyze the data from different angles. POVs can be used to compare different versions of the same data set, or to compare different data sets side-by-side. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To create a POV in SAC, users must first select the data set they want to analyze. Then, they can create a new POV by selecting the “Create POV” option from the menu. This will open a dialog box where users can enter a name for their POV and select the fields they want to include in their POV. Once the POV is created, users can switch between different views of the same data set by selecting the POV from the menu. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a POV, it is important to consider which fields are necessary for your analysis. It is also important to consider how you want to organize your data. For example, if you are comparing two versions of the same data set, you may want to organize your fields by version number.
