With Analysis 2.5 release, it is now possible to connect and consume SAP Analytics Cloud models into Analysis Office.

Note that the following functions are not supported in Analysis:

  • You cannot plan data.
  • You cannot create exception aggregation on the fly (but you can use exception aggregation defined in the model).
  • You cannot create dynamic calculations rank and rank Olympic.

The following restrictions apply for the SAP Analytics Cloud models:

  • Analysis only supports the usage of the default currency (similar to cloud chart behavior). You cannot access non-converted currencies (similar to a cloud table).

  • Live Data Models are not supported
