What is value driver tree in SAP LOD-ANA - SAP Analytics Cloud?

SAP Term: value driver tree

• Component: LOD-ANA

• Component Name: SAP Analytics Cloud

• Description: A directed graph made up of nodes showing data from different accounts or cross calculations, with optional filters for each node. By linking nodes together, you can show driver or aggregation relationships between the nodes. Like tables, value driver trees also support data entry for planning models. For example, you can use a value driver tree to simulate how changes to driver accounts such as head count and average contract value will affect top line metrics such as gross revenue.

• Key Concepts: 
  Value driver tree is a feature of SAP Analytics Cloud (LOD-ANA) that allows users to create a visual representation of the relationships between different drivers of value. It helps users to identify the most important drivers of value and how they are related to each other. The tree can be used to analyze the impact of changes in one driver on the others, and to identify potential areas for improvement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the value driver tree, users first need to define the drivers of value that they want to analyze. This can be done by selecting from a list of predefined drivers or by creating custom drivers. Once the drivers have been selected, users can then create a visual representation of the relationships between them. This can be done by connecting the nodes in the tree with arrows that represent the relationships between them. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a value driver tree, it is important to consider how each driver is related to the others. This will help users to identify potential areas for improvement and to understand how changes in one driver may affect the others. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes in one driver may affect other drivers that are not directly connected in the tree.
