Symptom
Linked analysis is not working in Heatmap chart of a story in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
Environment
SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD 2024.21.14
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SAC.
- Open a story
- Open a story with Heatmap chart and apply linked analysis on it.
- Notice that the linked analysis is working fine.
- Enable 'Show Totals' in the builder menu for Heatmap chart.
- Notice that Linked analysis is not working anymore when a measure is selected in the Heatmap chart.
Cause
- The "totals" row or column aggregates data across multiple dimensions but does not have an actual mapping to the dimensions or measures visualized in the chart.
- Linked analysis depends on selecting specific data points that can be linked across visualizations. Since the total is a derived value rather than a direct data point, it cannot be used as a filter for the chart.
Resolution
Avoid using the totals row/column to apply linked analysis.
Workaround: Use alternative visualizations, like a summary chart or KPI widget, to display totals separately if needed.
