 Standard Analyses

Standard analyses offer a wide range of possibilities for analyzing data. The standard analysis provides you with a whole spectrum of functions which enable you to target specific data for detailed analyses.

The information structures provide the data basis for the standard analyses.

You can find out which standard analyses are available in the individual information systems in Standard Analyses of the Information Systems .

In each standard analysis you can specify the range of the data to be analyzed by using various selection options. You can either predefine the key figures that you want to analyze or choose them interactively during the analysis itself.
