What is rolling time in SAP SCM-IBP-ANA - Analytics?

SAP Term: rolling time

• Component: SCM-IBP-ANA

• Component Name: Analytics

• Description: A way of displaying data on a chart using buckets relative to the date on which the chart is created. As time progresses, the times shown on the chart advance or "roll". &Example& You set up a chart on May 31 that shows data for July to September. The range offsets are therefore +2 and +4. If you apply time rolling to the chart and open it on June 1, the data will be displayed for August to October. The offsets are still +2 and +4, but the data shown on the chart has "rolled" because the current month has changed from May to June.

• Key Concepts: 
  Rolling time is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to view data over a rolling period of time. This means that the data is not limited to a fixed period of time, but instead can be viewed over a rolling period of time. For example, if you wanted to view data over the last three months, you could set the rolling time to three months and the data would be displayed accordingly. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use rolling time in SAP Analytics Cloud, first select the “Rolling Time” option from the “Time” drop-down menu. Then, select the desired rolling period of time from the “Period” drop-down menu. Finally, click “Apply” to view the data over the selected rolling period of time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using rolling time in SAP Analytics Cloud, it is important to remember that the data will be displayed over a rolling period of time rather than a fixed period of time. This means that if you select a rolling period of three months, the data will be displayed for the last three months from the current date.
