Exporting from SAP Analytics Cloud

We have had a number of customers ask us whether there is an easy way to export data from SAP Analytics Cloud. The answer is no, unless you have APOS Publisher for Cloud. There are many possible reasons you might want to export data from SAP Analytics Cloud. The most common one we have heard is the need to flow planning data in other applications.

Here’s the simple procedure that allows you to export data from SAP Analytics Cloud using APOS Publisher for Cloud:

1. Build a grid-only story with a grid of the data you want to export.
2. Use APOS Publisher for Cloud to burst that story in CSV or Excel format. (Use a filter if you need to chunk the data.)
3. Save the file to disk or FTP it to where it is needed.

You can also use filters to get the latest data and burst on a schedule to keep your exported data up to date.

If you want to explore this option, please contact your APOS Account Manager, or make a solution inquiry. If you already have APOS Publisher for Cloud and need help exporting data from SAP Analytics Cloud, please contact APOS Customer Support.
