3297625 - It is not possible to use the 'Simple Moving Average' function within a story for SAP Analytics Cloud

When trying to create a formula within a story using the 'Simple Moving Average' (SMA) function, this generates a warning 'Function SMA is not supported in stories at this time'

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Create a story
2. Add a formula and attempt to use the 'Simple Moving Average' (SMA) function.
3. When trying to save this formula the message 'Function SMA is not supported in stories at this time' is generated

• As seen within the SAP Analytics Help page within the 'Business Functions' section there is a notification "These functions are available only in Modeler."
• Therefore at this time the Business Functions such as the 'Simple Moving Average' (SMA) can only be used as a formula within the modeler for the model itself and not within a story.

• At this time there is no plan to add the SMA functionality to the story however if this is a required feature it would be recommended to submit an enhancement request to raise the priority of this feature to be considered for a future version.
• Reference the KBA '2424376 - How do you create an enhancement request and provide feedback for SAP Analytics Cloud?' for the steps to submit an enhancement request.
