New forecast data analytics tool doesn't work

CGanabelle — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 08:46:49 GMT

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

@CGanabelle Forecast line is only available for Line charts so need to use line chart.

@CGanabelle

It should work in French version. Do ensure

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

@CGanabelle

With the preview feature enabled(application restarting is required), please try to open the attached pbix. It works fine in my test on French ver.

Thank you Eric Zhang, for the pbix you sended me it works :-)!! I don't know exactly why it doesn't work with my datas, maybe not enough linear...

Again thank you for helping me :-)!

@CGanabelle

You're always welcome. 🙂

Maybe you can share the "problematic" pbix?

Hi,
I can't post the real problematic pbix but I post an exemple for which it doesn't work. I think it's because the datas aren't enough linear to bring a prediction. I've tried with date and dateformat, because I told myself it's maybe because it's on format

Thank you for you help in my quest of the prediction tool :D!

I'm having the same issue and have gone through the same checks.

@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.

@Meenakshiit is no longer a preview feature. You don't have to do anything to implement it, just use the right type of chart (line chart) and a continuous not categorical numeric axis.
