2607256 - Support for Calendar labels when Fiscal Period is used in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • Currently when fiscal periods are used in a model or story, only the non-specific fiscal period labels can be displayed (e.g. P01, P02, P03).
  • Need the ability to display the calendar period labels in the context where fiscal period is used (e.g. P01/2018 displayed as Oct/17).

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud 2018.x.x

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log on to SAC tenant.
  2. Create a Chart story based on a model with Time dimension.
  3. Select Time dimension into Rows.

     => Non-specific fiscal period labels can be displayed (e.g. P01, P02, P03) in the chart.
