NLQ powered by generative AI

The just ask feature is the new natural language query (NLQ) feature of SAP Analytics Cloud. It is powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI). Users access the feature directly from their home page to query acquired data models or SAP Datasphere models. Key strengths that enhance answer accuracy and consistency, surpassing existing search-driven solutions, include:

  • Name entity recognition (NER) categorizing text as known entities
  • Word embeddings and inferring word similarities based on meaning
  • Definition of synonyms for metadata and master data
  • Incorporation of user’s intent in rules

Measure disaggregation

New properties are available on measures to spread data entry in reference to another measure. Amount disaggregation used to always happen based on the aggregation type of the measure and the data state, SAP Analytics Cloud users can now choose the disaggregation type and control its scope. Two modes are available:

  • Total distribution – disaggregates total value entered 
  • Delta distribution – disaggregates delta to the total value entered
