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
Time Series with Code (dataiku.com)

I have a Line Graph, and time data on my X-axis and I still don't see an option for Forecasting.

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