Forecasting feature

Hi,
I am trying to do a forecast as it is described in this article:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-analytics-pane/
But i cannot see the Forecast group. I see all the other groups like Max line, Min line etc. but not the Forecast group.
Any ideas?

I am using the line chart and a dataset with dates/values.

  • Can you post a screen shot of your visualization that includes the fields being used? When I have gotten this to work, I have had a Date Hierarchy in my Axis. This is a field with a Data Type of "Date". Then I had a Decimal Number field in my Values. Visualization is a Line chart. 

     

    Forecasting does not work in the Service yet. Version is 2.39.4526.362 64-bit (September 2016). English language. I have all of the Preview features enabled, File | Options and settings | Options | Preview Features. You need to restart Power BI Desktop after enabling Preview Features.

      I have now tried with 3, 12 and 30 datapoints. Always same result, no Forecast group.

      Also, I doublechecked the version of PowerBI Desktop it is updated to the latest version.

      Did you enabled Forecasting in options as described there?
