SAP BW Clustering Algorithm to index Mix-Data Types

114 Views Last edit Jun 26, 2018 at 02:42 PM 4 rev

hi ladies and gentlemen, I hope you might help me with a question about the Clustering method in SAP BW. I have a table of records with multiple Dimension (Attributes) of deferent Typs Like this e.g.

ID- Gender - City - salary - amount

(1, F, NY, 4000, 20)

(2, M, LA, 3000, 40)

how does SAP BW APD gives index value or numeric value to non numeric values? How does it calculate the Distance between this records for example.? I know that K-Mains-Method is being used, but how exactly are the clusters built?

hope you guys give me a simple Demonstration. Tnx��
