New forecast data analytics tool doesn't work

Hi everybody,

I write here because I have a problem, I downloaded the new version of PowerBI and activate in option preview forecast but it doesn't work. I've seen the conditions on the Power BI page to have the option on the analytics tools (so the y axis with x in date format, not a donut chart of course and so on). My chart respects all the conditions but the option "forecast" in the data analytics tools never appear. I even try the online Power BI version (English) and it doesn't work (I work with Power BI desktop in French)

Can someone could help me please?

Thank you very much! Have a nice day!
Regards,
Anabelle

        It should work in French version. Do ensure

        1. The preview feature is enabled.
        2. The Values and Axis fields is filled in the line visual.

      CGanabelle mojoman67 both of your charts show an x axis set to Categorical. It must be Continuous for forecasting to work. mojoman67 you will need to use a completely different column; only a numeric or date format will work and your month/year column is text.
