Forecast Functionality in PowerBI

Hi All,

 

Could you help me to understand the forecasting model used in PowerBI's desktop (under Analytics Tab).Forecast Option in PBI DesktopForecast Option in PBI Desktop

Hi @lal_prasad,

 

The forecasting feature utilizes built-in predictive forecasting models to automatically detect the step (monthly/weekly/annually) and seasonality in your data to provide forecasting results.

 

When you add a forecast line, you will have two sets of options available to configure. You can control the styling of the forecasting, similar to the controls you have for trend lines. You can also control settings specific to forecasting.

 

For more details, please refer to:

Thanks,

Hi Yuliana,

I still could not have forecast function enabled even though my x-axis is date data type and it is a line chart. The x-axis is also continuous rather than categorial.

Hi Xiao, 

 

Have you made sure there is no field in Legend? I've found if you put something in legend it doesn't enable forecasting. 

 

Good luck,
