Creating a table with no measures in Analytics Cloud

[#1]

I am trying to create a table in Analytics Cloud which displays only dimensions, in this case State, City, and Vendor. SAC seems to force you to add a measure or account, is there a workaround to display only the dimensions?

Thank You!

HI,

I was referring to the table - not charts. Chart without a measure wouldn't work.

In the table you can use the hide option as part of the context menu.

Hi Ingo,

I am having the same problem as Casey. My model, which comes from a Live Data Connection, has dimensions and one measure which I do not want to display in the story table. I tried to follow your suggestion, but I did not find any possibility to hide columns in the context menu of the table.

Would you mind to provide more details, or even screenshots?

I realize I can hide the values in a column by ticking the "Hide" box in the model menu, but I do not want to hide values of a column - I want to hide the column itself.

Thanks,

John.

Hi Ingo,

I am having exactly the same issue, I created a dummy count column in Universe to make the model work, but I don't want to display the column at all in the table. Where can I find the "Hide Column" in the table? Screenshot would be much appreciated.

Hi

By following Tammy's and Ingo's comment you can right click on the required column and choose "Hide column"

Thanks Ingo - Where is the option to hide columns? I don't see the option on the chart itself or in the design options.

In situations like this, I use a "count" column, as mentioned here in Simon's blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/02/28/sap-analytics-cloud-sac-analyzing-usage-collecting-statistics/ - is that a possibility for you?

Thanks for the blog it was very informative. My issue is regarding displaying the data after it has been modeled. I'm trying to pick three dimension columns to display in a table, and exclude the count column.
