Interactive demo · Rolling Forecast — 12-month
The SAC story this template builds, before you build it.
Computed live from the template's own sample data — the same file you download. Change the business unit, the measure or the month you have closed, and watch the rolling forecast update.
Preview rendered in your browser by SAC Templates Hub — it is not SAP software. In SAP Analytics Cloud you build this story yourself, with the import guide and dashboard blueprint included in the template.

How it maps to SAP Analytics Cloud
Every column of the file has a place in the SAC model, and every element above is a standard story widget. Nothing proprietary — you keep full control in your tenant.
The model (SAC Modeler)
| Version | → | Version dimension — Actual, Budget and Forecast as version categories |
| Period | → | Date dimension — month granularity, 12 periods |
| Business unit | → | Generic dimension — filter and drill |
| Month · Scenario | → | Generic dimensions — extra breakdowns in the sample |
| Revenue · EBITDA | → | Measures — aggregation SUM |
The story (in SAC)
- Modeler → New model → Start with data → upload the template file
- Map the Version column to the Version dimension, the Period to the Date dimension
- Run the import, then create a story on the model
- Add 4 numeric points, a column & line chart, a bar chart and a table — as shown above

Tested in a live tenant. The Rolling Forecast model was imported and built end-to-end in a live SAP Analytics Cloud tenant in September 2026. The paid accelerator ships with its validation passport and step-by-step import guide.
