Scripting Basics

SAP Analytics Cloud scripting

Provides programmatic control over measures, values, and calculations at runtime.

Using scripting, developers can format numeric outputs precisely, manipulate raw and formatted values, handle nulls and zero-suppression safely, and apply conditional logic based on numeric thresholds or measure results.

This section focuses on common scripting patterns that you will regularly use

Script Examples

Nested Else If Condition basic example
Stop a For IF loop when a specific condition is met
Write Single Dimension Filter value to a text box
Take a measure description or full name from a chart and write it to a text box
Take a measure value from a numeric point chart and dynamically write it to a text box
Count dimension members in a chart and write the count to a text box
Write all measure values from a table to the browser console
