Use Case: Parent-Child Hierarchies (Business Analyst)
As a business analyst, do you want to know how to use a “Parent-Child” Hierarchy? Parent child hierarchies are typically used for organizational data and accounting data. They are particularly useful for accounting purposes, because they enable you to define the operator for each attribute in the hierarchy. For example, you can define a minus ( – ) operator for Expenses, to ensure that expenses are subtracted from the total, rather than added to it. In this use case, we will show you how to use these hierarchies in a Discover report.
Use Case: Sales Director/Sales Analyst
As an analyst, you may often need to support the rest of your organisation with targeting lucrative customers. By focusing on data-driven targets you can help optimise the sales elements of your business. This course will show you how to create a prescriptive customer call down report that focuses on the top 5 customers each month. This training is based on Pyramid 2020.17.
Use Case: Product Specialist
For many product specialists, it is important to find out exactly why some products cause issues for customers. Creating a dedicated dashboard to analyse the ratio of returns to sales and the reason for the return would be an efficient way to enhance your analysis. In this course we will show you how to produce such a dashboard. This training is based on Pyramid 2020.17.
