Which tool in SAP Analytics Cloud can be used to conduct what-if analysis?

The tool in SAP Analytics Cloud specifically designed for conducting what-if analysis is indeed the option that directly reflects this capability. What-if analysis allows users to simulate various scenarios by altering key variables and immediately observing the impacts of those changes. This interactive capability is essential for decision-making processes, helping users understand how different factors can influence outcomes.

While other options might support related analytic activities, they don't focus singularly on what-if analysis the way this dedicated feature does. For instance, private versions allow users to create separate copies of stories or models to test scenarios privately, but this is not solely aimed at what-if analysis. Rolling forecasts can assist with financial planning and continuous forecasting but are more focused on time-based projections rather than scenario alterations. Data actions can indeed perform multiple tasks, including fetching data or consolidating changes, but they aren't specifically tailored for simulating different scenarios in the same intuitive way that a dedicated what-if analysis tool provides.

Thus, the clarity and specificity of the dedicated what-if analysis tool make it the correct choice for this functionality within SAP Analytics Cloud.
