3745766 - Ability to create charts via drap and drop in optimized story since SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) 2026 QRC2 update

Symptom

  • Story designers are now able to move drag-and-drop data elements (measures, dimensions, and so on) from the data panel directly into an existing chart visualization since SAC 2026 QRC2 update

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 2026.8

Resolution

  • Since SAC 2026 QRC2 update, uses are now able to move drag-and-drop data elements (measures, dimensions, and so on) from the data panel directly into an existing chart visualization.
  • Guided drop zones highlighting where data can be placed, such as measures, dimensions, and color, based on the chart type.
  • Users are also able to replace existing bindings for charts with one element per structure, for example, donut chart supports one measure and one dimension, so dragging an additional element will show a replace drop zone.
  • Limitation:
    • Drag and drop is only supported for existing, data-bound visualizations
    • Removing bindings via drag and drop is not supported
  • For more detailed information, please refer to Roadmap Creation of charts with drag and drop. For more information related to the Data Panel, please also refer to help document Use the Data Panel (New Table Build Experience) | SAP Help Portal.
