Which function can be used to create calculated dimensions in SAP Analytics Cloud?

The function that can be used to create calculated dimensions in SAP Analytics Cloud is CONCAT. This function is primarily used to combine two or more text strings into a single string, which is particularly useful for creating new dimensions based on existing text-based data. For instance, if you have separate fields for first and last names, you can use CONCAT to create a new calculated dimension that merges these fields into a full name. This capability allows for enhanced data representation and analysis by providing more meaningful insights derived from the original data.

In contrast, functions like AVERAGE, COUNT, and SUM are primarily used for numerical calculations and aggregations rather than for creating dimensional attributes. AVERAGE calculates the mean of a set of numbers, COUNT provides the total number of items, and SUM adds up numeric values. While these functions are essential for analyzing data trends and totals, they do not fulfill the role of generating new text-based dimensions for analytical purposes.
