Before you start…
The hands-on exercise of SAP Analytics Cloud is going to take about 2 hours. In this hands-on
demonstration, we are using a vehicular accident scenario that will help trace common occurrences
of roadside accidents (what time, what place, what type of car, etc).
This follows the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 11: Make
cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and
much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance socially and economically.
With the number of people living within cities projected to rise to 5 billion people by 2030, it’s
important that efficient urban planning and management practices are in place to deal with
the challenges brought by urbanization.
Many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and
prosperity without straining land and resources. Common urban challenges include
congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage of adequate housing,
declining infrastructure and rising air pollution within cities.
Rapid urbanization challenges, such as the safe removal and management of solid waste
within cities, can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while
improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. One such example is an
increase in municipal waste collection. There needs to be a future in which cities provide
opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.
The aim of the dataset is to come up with protocols that factor in passenger safety despite a steady
growing urban population in the UK.

Exercise
Today for our ASEAN Data Science Explorers Enablement Session in Data Analytics Training -
SAP Analytics Cloud, we will analysing a dataset that revolves around an accident that happened in
the UK, in particular, vehicular accidents. This follows the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

First of all, we have the
accident ID or identifiers –
these are basically the
report numbers. We have
date here and if you
noticed, we have explicitly
left some of these date
with an ‘X’ which we will
be using in the exercise of
cleaning the data.

• What type of car
he or she was
driving?
• What is a
propulsion of the
car?
• Was it a hybrid
electric car or a
petrol car?

9
let's concentrate on
creating a model.
MODELLING
Model is the basic building block of SAP Analytics Cloud which is the data that is being fed to the
visualizations and charts that we would be using later on.
10
If you remember what you've
seen a while ago, this sheet
is similar to the excel sheet
opened previously with the
accident ID, date, location
etcetera.
11
One thing to notice are these
green bars at the bottom of
each of the tiles. These bars
represent the health and
accuracy of that data. If the
bars are completely green, it
is a good thing and means
that we have complete
information without any
errors in the data identified
by SAP Analytics Cloud.
12
Instead of going back to
Excel and correcting the
data, we have the option to
just transform it and fix it
within SAC,
13
We can create hierarchies
by clicking on ‘actions:
level-based hierarchy’
button at the top
We work backwards by
taking for his the lowest
level of this hierarchy,
which in this case would
be the location description
or the city, and then work
to the top which is
‘country’.
Click ‘Location
Description’
Click ‘Country’
Click ‘ok’
Confirm modelling
changes
To be able to be more
specific with the data of
points, it is highly
recommended to use
longitude and latitude
14
points which is what we
would be using today.
Click ‘Coordinates’.
A pop-up should occur.
Map the missing fields
with the ones that are
already in.
Click ‘Create’
* Important: please do
NOT delete the location
ID column (only longitude
and latitude)
15
Last but not least, scroll to
the right make sure that
these tabs ‘Number of
accidents, number of
casualties and number of
vehicles’ are picked up as
measures (not generic
dimension).

We see another factor that
affects the number of
casualties in these accidents
which is the usage of petrol

compared to that a hybrid

vehicles.

it ingested
21
On the top of the page, click
on the tab ‘KEY
INFLUENCERS’. We want to
get a deeper look on a key
influences that affect the
number of casualties. In blue,
SAP Analytics Cloud
automatically highlights the top
three that is the most
impactful.
22
For all of the influencers, we
are able to get more
information about each item if
we hover our cursor over the
bar chart, and click on the pop
out tab with text ‘how does it
influence Number of
Casualties’ – a side panel will
pop up on the right side of the
page with more details.
tab ‘SIMULATION’
23
Smart discovery gave us a
very nice jump start to create
a dashboard.
Click on ‘Rename’
‘Page 1’ to ‘Analysis’
Click ‘OK’
24
For example, click on number
of casualties and this chart at
this blank space at the
bottom will automatically give
a total number of casualties.
Click on ‘Charts’
> ‘More’
> ‘Pie Chart’
To make it cleaner, we can
sort from ‘highest to lowest’
25
Once we have the chart, we
click on the ‘file’ icon
‘Copy to Analysis’ the page
we have just created
You will receive a notification
that visualization successfully
copied
26
Switch back to Data View.
27
Now, let’s view a bar chart
instead.
28
In this part of the exercise,
the instructor will come up
with questions to help you
play around with data
explorer and create more
queries to use in your
analysis.
29
First, let’s make space for that
by customizing the lanes or
these white spaces.
30
First, create an input control,
under the ‘insert’ category on
the toolbar
31
Click on ‘Page Filter’ > Select
a dimension ‘Dimensions’ >
‘Vehicle Propulsion’
32
The builder mode allows you
to have a detailed view of what
the chart is comprised of.
33
To find out the average
number of casualties…
Type: AGGREGATION
34
And we can deselect the
original ‘measures: number of
casualties’ button, you should
only see ‘average # of
casualties’ under your
MEASURES tab
35
36
In the ‘Average number of
casualties broken down my
location description’ chart
Now in this exercise we’re going to take a little different visualization options that we have, playing
around, changing some of the design elements and also creating Geospatial map analysis.
37
First, let’s select all the
Time of Day again to
make sure of the factors in
the analysis.
38
According to the time,
which is the date, we now
have this Time Series
chart that shows the trend
of how the casualties have
increased or decreased
throughout time.
39
You can change all the
different visualizations
from the Designer Mode
as well.
We do it by selecting the
other model and you can
simply type
“Geoenriched”.
40
Leave it as a bubble layer.
41
Then click ok, go back to
the map. We can change
the type of map that we
are looking at as well to fit
the styling or the type of
view that we’re looking at.

What is the best browser to use for SAP Analytics Cloud?
Highly suggest Google Chrome, especially incognito mode if you run into any issues.
