• Key Concepts: 
  Shifting aggregate is a feature of SAP Predictive Analytics that allows users to shift the aggregate of a data set. This means that the data set can be shifted up or down by a certain amount, allowing users to compare different versions of the same data set. This feature is useful for analyzing trends over time or comparing different versions of the same data set. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use shifting aggregate, users must first select the data set they wish to shift. Then, they must select the amount they wish to shift the data set by. This can be done by entering a numerical value or by selecting a percentage. Once the amount has been selected, users can click “Shift Aggregate” to apply the shift. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using shifting aggregate, it is important to remember that the data set will be shifted up or down by the amount specified. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the amount specified is appropriate for the data set being shifted. Additionally, it is important to remember that shifting aggregate will not change the underlying data in any way; it will only change how it is displayed.
