• Key Concepts: 
  A joined data source is a type of data source in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that combines two or more existing data sources into one. It allows users to join tables from different data sources, such as an SAP HANA database and an Excel file, and create a single view of the data. This enables users to analyze data from multiple sources in one place. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a joined data source in SAC, users must first create two or more separate data sources. Then, they can select the “Join Data Sources” option from the Data Sources tab. This will open a window where users can select the tables they want to join and specify the join conditions. Once the joined data source is created, users can use it to create stories and visualizations. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a joined data source, it is important to ensure that the tables being joined have compatible data types. For example, if one table contains numeric values and the other contains text values, they cannot be joined together. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the join conditions are specified correctly in order for the joined data source to be created successfully.
