SAP Analytics Cloud is a single cloud solution that allows business users to discover, analyze, plan, predict, and collaborate all in one place. Combining business intelligence, augmented analytics, financial planning, and predictive forecasting, SAP Analytics Cloud is designed to meet all your data visualization and planning needs in one solution.
SAP Analytics Cloud centers around three fundamental components: data, models, and stories. Understanding these fundamental components will help you navigate through SAP Analytics Cloud, allowing you to get the most out of the program.

Analytic models allow you to clean and prepare your data for creating a story. Using machine learning technology, SAP Analytics Cloud automatically cleans your data and can detect possible data errors during the modeling stage. The program can also deduce whether or not a column of numeric values is a measure or dimension.
