The calculation types that support input controls are restricted measure, calculated measure, and difference from. A restricted measure is a measure that is filtered by one or more dimensions. A calculated measure is a measure that is derived from an expression using other measures and dimensions. A difference from is a measure that shows the difference between two values based on another dimension. Dimension to measure and aggregation are not calculation types; they are functions that can be used in calculations. Verified Reference: [SAP Analytics Cloud – Input Controls]

According to the SAP Help Portal1, you can configure different add-ons for a chart to enhance its appearance and functionality. Some of the add-ons that are available are:
Variance: This add-on allows you to compare two measures and show the difference and percentage difference between them. You can also choose to display the variance as a bar, line, or area chart on top of the original chart2.
Scaling: This add-on allows you to adjust the scale of the chart axes to better fit the data range. You can choose to use a linear, logarithmic, or percentage scale for the axes3.
Linked Analysis: This add-on allows you to link multiple charts or tables that share the same data source. When you select a data point in one chart or table, the other linked charts or tables will filter accordingly4.
In-Cell Charts: This add-on allows you to display mini charts within the cells of a table. You can choose from different types of in-cell charts, such as bullet, bar, or sparkline charts5.
Therefore, Variance and In-Cell Charts are add-ons that can be configured for a chart, while Scaling and Linked Analysis are not.

A component filter affects only itself, meaning that it applies a filter to the data displayed in a single widget, such as a chart or a table. A component filter does not affect the story, the version, or the model; these are different levels of filtering that can be applied to the data in a story.

The data source connection that can be used in SAP Analytics Cloud to wrangle data is imported. Imported data sources are data files that are uploaded to SAP Analytics Cloud and stored in its internal database. Users can wrangle imported data sources using the Data Preparation feature, which allows them to transform, enrich, cleanse, and merge data. Live and public data sources cannot be used to wrangle data in SAP Analytics Cloud; live data sources remain in their original systems and public data sources are read-only datasets provided by SAP.

According to the SAP Help Portal1, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is the recommended image file type for optimal story performance in SAP Analytics Cloud Story Design. SVG is a vector-based format that can scale to any size without losing quality or clarity. SVG images also have a smaller file size than other image formats, such as JPEG, PNG, or BMP, which are raster-based formats that store pixel dat a. Raster images can lose quality or become blurry when scaled up or down, and they also have a larger file size than vector images. Therefore, using SVG images can improve the loading speed and responsiveness of your stories, as well as the visual appearance of your images2.

According to the SAP Help Portal1, stories can be viewed only in portrait mode for phones and landscape mode for tablets; the stories do not rotate their orientation. This is a unique quality of viewing stories on a mobile device, as opposed to viewing them on a computer browser, where the stories can be rotated and resized according to the screen dimensions. Therefore, it is important to design stories for mobile devices using the Responsive page and the Device Preview Bar in SAP Analytics Cloud Story Design.

Chart scaling is a feature that ensures that you have a meaningful display of values across multiple charts in a story. By default, charts are not scaled, which can lead to incorrect data analysis, particularly if users are not paying attention to the actual values displayed in the chart1.
Chart scaling is applied to the following:
Specific page: Chart scaling is applied to all of the charts on a page, but the scaling may be different for the same measure on different pages, because the scaling factor is calculated separately for each page1.
Specific measure: Chart scaling is applied to a specific measure in a chart, and it affects all the charts that contain that measure on the same page. You can exclude charts from the scaling by selecting the chart and choosing Exclude from Scaling in the context menu1.
Chart scaling is not applied to the following:
All measures: Chart scaling is not applied to all the measures in a story, only to the ones that are selected for scaling. You can select which measures to scale by choosing Scale Measures in the context menu of any chart on a page1.
All pages: Chart scaling is not applied to all the pages in a story, only to the ones that have scaling enabled. You can enable or disable scaling for a page by choosing Enable Scaling or Disable Scaling in the context menu of any chart on a page1.

In the Optimized Design Experience, Data Analyzer is a new tool that replaces Explorer. Data Analyzer allows you to quickly create ad hoc analysis based on models or datasets. You can use Data Analyzer to explore data, create charts and tables, apply filters and calculations, and save your analysis as stories. Data Analyzer is similar to Explorer, but with some enhancements and new features, such as:
Support for both models and datasets
Support for planning models
Support for story calculations
Support for linked analysis
Support for responsive pages
Therefore, the correct answer is Data Analyzer, as it is the tool that replaces Explorer in the Optimized Design Experience

To improve performance in stories, users should use JPG images instead of PNG images, as JPG images have smaller file sizes and load faster. Users should also minimize the number of linked models in a story, as each linked model adds complexity and increases the loading time. Using unbooked data or exception aggregations does not affect performance in stories. Verified Reference: [SAP Analytics Cloud – Performance Optimization]

When converting a story to Optimized Design Experience, you need to be aware that some elements that are available in the Classic Design Experience are not yet supported in the Optimized Design Experience. These elements include:
Grid pages
Linked analysis
Geo maps
Images
Shapes
Texts
Buttons
Input controls
Value driver trees
Explorer
If your story contains any of these elements, you will receive a warning message before converting the story, informing you that these elements will be permanently deleted from the story. You can choose to proceed with the conversion or cancel it. If you proceed, the unsupported elements will be removed from the story, and you will not be able to restore them1.

A public dataset is a type of dataset that is shared among different stories. You can use public datasets to create stories or blend data with models. A public dataset has the following properties:
It can be shared among different stories. You can use public datasets in multiple stories without having to import them again.
It cannot be converted to a model. You cannot convert a public dataset to a model. If you want to create a model from a public dataset, you have to import it as a private dataset first.
Its data is not structured in a star schem
a. A public dataset does not have any predefined dimensions or measures. It only has columns and rows of data.
Its data source cannot be changed. You cannot change the data source of a public dataset after you import it. If you want to update the data in a public dataset, you have to import a new file.

These are two of the options that you can use for data wrangling when you import a file for a story in SAP Analytics Cloud, according to the SAP Help Portal1. Data wrangling is the process of cleaning, structuring, and enriching raw data into a desired format for better decision making in less time2.
The custom expression editor is a tool that allows you to create or edit formulas and expressions for your data columns3. You can access the custom expression editor by clicking on the formula icon in the builder panel or by double-clicking on a column header in the data view3. The custom expression editor provides a list of functions and operators that you can use to manipulate your data, such as arithmetic, logical, string, date, and aggregation functions3. You can also use the custom expression editor to create calculated columns or measure-based dimensions from your existing columns3.
The transform bar is a tool that allows you to apply various transformations to your data columns, such as renaming, reordering, grouping, splitting, merging, or deleting columns4. You can access the transform bar by clicking on the transform icon in the builder panel or by right-clicking on a column header in the data view4. The transform bar provides a list of actions that you can use to modify your data structure, such as move left, move right, group by, split by delimiter, merge columns, or delete column4. You can also use the transform bar to change the data type or format of your columns, such as text, number, date, currency, or percentage4.

The Optimized Design Experience is a new design option for creating stories in SAP Analytics Cloud. It offers several usability improvements and performance enhancements compared to the Classic Design Experience. However, it also has some limitations and differences, such as the unavailability of some elements that are present in the Classic Design Experience1.
The following filter options are supported in the Optimized Design Experience:
Widget: This option allows you to apply filters to a specific widget, such as a chart, table, or map, that are based on the same model. You can use the Filter area in the Builder pane to pre-filter the data that the widget displays2.
Story: This option allows you to apply filters to all widgets in a story that are based on the same model. You can use the Story Filters tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to filter by2.
Input Control: This option allows you to add interactive filters to a story page that allow the story viewers to filter data, compare figures, and explore relationships directly from the page. You can use the Input Controls tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to use as input controls3.
The following filter options are not supported in the Optimized Design Experience:
Controls: This option is not a valid filter option in SAP Analytics Cloud. It may refer to input controls, which are supported, or chart controls, which are not supported. Chart controls are buttons that allow you to change the chart type, switch between absolute and relative values, or drill up and down in a hierarchy. Chart controls are available only in the Classic Design Experience4.
Section: This option is not a filter option, but a way of organizing a story into different parts based on a dimension. A section creates a separate page for each member of the dimension, and displays the same widgets on each page with the data filtered by the section dimension. Sections are available in both the Optimized and Classic Design Experiences.
