3725600 - Calculation feature limitation for cross-version variance in group data analysis app

The calculation tool performs only statistical aggregation on the visible column.

The "variance" option reflects statistical variance within a single dataset, not cross-version variance.

It is not possible to load multiple versions in a single group data analysis (GDA) view or calculate cross-version variance.

1. Open Fiori App: Group Data Analysis (App ID W0135).
2. In Set Global Parameters, select Version, Period, Group, COA.
3. Execute the report.
4. Navigate to "Measures" → "Calculations".
5. Enable/Disable "Show Totals" and observe that calculations only work when totals are visible.
6. Attempt to load two versions (e.g., A10 and ZBE) side-by-side in the same view – not possible.
7. Attempt to use "Calculation → Variance" expecting V1 – V2 comparison.
8. Observe that the variance shown is statistical variance on the same dataset, not cross-version variance.

The group data analysis (GDA) app inherits its report framework from another area (BW), which was designed in an older format. This design does not support multi-version comparison in a single view or calculation of cross-version variance.

1. Enable "Show Totals" before using the calculation functionality.
2. Perform calculations within a specific version only, as cross-version variance is not supported.
3. For multi-version comparison or cross-version variance calculation, export the data to an external tool such as Excel for manual computation.
4. Consider submitting a feature request for multi-version comparison functionality via the SAP Customer Influence platform. Refer to SAP Note 2963059 for instructions on submitting feature requests.
