Creating Key Driver Insight

If you choose Key Driver Insight, then the next step will be displayed as follows:

Configuring Key Driver Insight

1. What Drives (Measure or Dimension)

• Choose the influencing factors you want to examine as a potential driver of business performance. Select from a list of measures (quantitative data) and dimensions (qualitative data) from the selected Business View.

• For example, choose "Revenue" as the measure because you're interested in understanding what factors drive the most sales.

2. Date/Time Filter

• Specify the time frame for the analysis. It helps in narrowing down the data to a specific period to identify trends within a given context.

• For example, you can set the filter to include only data from the last fiscal quarter.

• Select the required Date Columns from the dropdown list. Click on Range to specify the range of dates.

3. Filter

• By adding filters, you can include or exclude certain data points based on predefined criteria. This fine-tunes the analysis by focusing on the most relevant data for your inquiry, such as a particular product line or customer segment.

• For example, if you want to focus on transactions over $500 to identify what drives these high-value sales, you can set the filter condition: Transaction Value > $500.

• Click on the "+" sign to view the filter condition fields. Select the required column, operator, and value. To apply more filters, click on the "+" sign again. Click on the "x" sign to remove the filter.

Applying filters

4. Consider (Range Selector)

• Defines the data scope of your analysis. Adjust the range selector to select the portion of the dataset that Insight should consider.

• For example, if you set the "Consider" field to "50%", half of your entire dataset will be selected for the analysis. This can be particularly useful for analyzing a sample of your data when the full dataset is too large to analyze efficiently.

5. Name

Give a meaningful name to your Insight and click on Next.
