Forcasting not showing in Powe BI desktop

Hello Every One

 

I just want to try the forecasting option with my data where the x-axis contains months and the y-axis has values.

but I can't find the forecasting option in my PBI.

 

Any one guide me on how can find this option?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If you have time data in your data source, you can use the forecasting feature. Just select a visual, then expand the Forecast section of the Analytics pane. You may specify many inputs to modify the forecast, such as the Forecast length or the Confidence interval

Note: The forecasting feature is only available for line chart visuals.

Use the Analytics pane in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Also you can apply forecasting using R or python in Power BI, please refer to

Forecasting with Python and Power BI - AbsentData

Forecast Table - R script - Microsoft Power BI Community

Forecasting is not available on every visual. Only on some. Find the one that does have forecasting enabled.
