The link type determines how the data from the primary and secondary models are blended in a story. There are three link types: Primary, All, and Intersection1.

Primary: Only the data from the primary model that matches the data from the secondary model is displayed. This is equivalent to an inner join in SQL.

All: All the data from both models is displayed, regardless of whether they match or not. This is equivalent to a full outer join in SQL.

Intersection: Only the data that exists in both models is displayed. This is equivalent to an intersection in set theory.

In this case, the link type that returns what data is Intersection, because it only shows the data that is common to both models, such as Customer A and Customer B. Customer C and Customer D are excluded because they do not exist in both models.

A page type is a property that determines how the elements on a page are arranged and displayed. There are three page types in SAP Analytics Cloud: Canvas, Grid, and Responsive. The page type that is recommended when designing stories is Responsive, as it offers the following advantages:

It automatically adjusts the layout and size of the elements to fit different screen sizes and orientations.

It provides a consistent and optimal viewing experience across different devices, such as desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.

It supports all types of elements, such as charts, tables, geo maps, images, text, etc.

It supports advanced features, such as linked analysis, input controls, story filters, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is Responsive, as it is the recommended page type when designing stories. 

The data source connection that can be used in SAP Analytics Cloud to wrangle data is imported. Imported data sources are data files that are uploaded to SAP Analytics Cloud and stored in its internal database. Users can wrangle imported data sources using the Data Preparation feature, which allows them to transform, enrich, cleanse, and merge data. Live and public data sources cannot be used to wrangle data in SAP Analytics Cloud; live data sources remain in their original systems and public data sources are read-only datasets provided by SAP.

When a model includes a prompt, the prompt is presented at runtime before data can be displayed in the story. The prompt allows users to select the values they want to filter the data by. The prompt is not related to the predefined widgets, the rendering of widgets, or the navigation to widgets. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Prompting]

The SAP Digital Boardroom supports engaging with a remote audience through annotations and screen sharing. Annotations allow users to highlight or draw on the screen using different colors and shapes, which can help to emphasize key points or explain complex concepts. Screen sharing allows users to share their screen with other participants who join the digital boardroom session via a web browser, which can help to facilitate collaboration and communication. Data Analyzer and story editing are not features that support engaging with a remote audience; they are features that allow users to analyze data or modify stories in the digital boardroom.

According to the SAP Help Portal1, stories can be viewed only in portrait mode for phones and landscape mode for tablets; the stories do not rotate their orientation. This is a unique quality of viewing stories on a mobile device, as opposed to viewing them on a computer browser, where the stories can be rotated and resized according to the screen dimensions. Therefore, it is important to design stories for mobile devices using the Responsive page and the Device Preview Bar in SAP Analytics Cloud Story Design.

A calculated measure is a type of measure that is derived from an expression or formula based on existing measures or dimensions. You can use calculated measures to perform various calculations on your data, such as ratios, percentages, differences, etc. However, some calculated measures may result in errors or invalid values when the denominator is null or zero. For example, if you try to calculate the profit margin as (Profit / Revenue) * 100, and the revenue is zero, you will get an error. In such cases, SAP Analytics Cloud displays a symbol instead of a value for the calculated measure. The symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero is # (hash sign). Therefore, the correct answer is #, as it is the symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero in a calculated measure. Verified References:

Linked Analysis is a feature that allows you to link multiple widgets in a story based on the same model. You can use Linked Analysis to do the following:

Filter data in multiple widgets by selecting a data point in one widget. For example, if you select Soft Drinks in a chart, all the other linked widgets will show data for Soft Drinks only.

Drill down or up in multiple widgets by changing the level of detail in one widget. For example, if you drill down from Product Category to Product Name in a table, all the other linked widgets will show data for Product Name as well.

Highlight data in multiple widgets by hovering over a data point in one widget. For example, if you hover over Germany in a geo map, all the other linked widgets will highlight the data for Germany.

To use Linked Analysis, you need to have the following:

Multiple widgets based on the same model. You can link any type of widget, such as charts, tables, geo maps, etc., as long as they are based on the same model.

A common dimension or measure between the widgets. You can link widgets based on any dimension or measure that they share in common.

You do not need to have the following for Linked Analysis:

Multiple stories. You can use Linked Analysis within the same story. You cannot link widgets across different stories.

Multiple data models. You can use Linked Analysis with one model only. You cannot link widgets based on different models.

Multiple pages. You can use Linked Analysis within the same page. You cannot link widgets across different pages.

Therefore, the correct answer is Multiple widgets, as it is the necessary element for Linked Analysis. Verified References:

An input control is a type of filter that allows you to dynamically change the values of dimensions or measures in your story or application. You can use an input control to filter dimension or measure values and select dimension or measure values for your widgets, such as charts, tables, or geo maps1. For example, you can create an input control that lets you choose which product category or year to display in your chart2.

You cannot use an input control to define a prompt or explore data relationships. A prompt is a filter that is applied to a model before the data is loaded into a story or an application. Prompts allow you to select the data that you want to see in your story or application. You can create prompts in the modeler, not in the story or application3. To explore data relationships, you can use the Smart Discovery feature, which allows you to automatically generate insights and visualizations based on your data. You can access Smart Discovery from the context menu of a chart or table widget4.
