<div>Learn how to assign model measures and calculations to charts or tables in SAP Analytics Cloud using input controls. Easily adjust displayed data and dimensions to enhance your data analysis.<br><br># This description was auto-generated #</div>

In SAP Analytics Cloud, you usually assign model measures and calculations directly to charts or tables. You can also assign measures to a chart or table based, on an input control selection. To do this for tables, click on the widget, go to the measures section in the builder, and then click on the three dots. For charts, you can click directly on the measures section of the chart. From the menu, select Add Measure Input Control. In this overview, you can choose from all available measures to be included in the input control list. These measures can later be displayed in the widget when selected. For instance, in this example, we select Minutes Played and Minutes Played Average. Confirming the selection creates a new input control and adds it to the page. By clicking on the widget, you can see that the input control appears in the Measures section. Using the filter icon, you can select or deselect measures, including the newly created input control for this widget. Using the input control allows you to easily change the measure used in the widget without navigating through the widget and its filter options. This feature is also useful when you need to change the measures displayed in multiple widgets at once, as you only need to update one input control instead of clicking on each widget individually. In general, it is useful for both, editing and viewing the displayed content. In addition, you can use a dimension input control to flexibly adjust the dimensions of widgets and therefore the displayed data. Similar to measure input control, click on Add Dimension and then Create Dimension Input Control. Here, you can select the dimensions to be included in the input control list. We will use the player's position as well as the exact player's position. After confirming the selection, the Dimension Input Control has been created and added to the Story page. It can be observed that the data displayed in the table adjusts based on the selected Dimension option. In this example, the average minutes played are drilled down to the exact position. By selecting the player's position dimension in the Input Control, the data adjusts automatically.
