Forecast not showing
Hi, I want to forecast, but it doesn't show in the Analytics tab. Does anyone know the reason? The data which I wanna forecast and settings are below. https://imgur.com/a/EXpF2j7 I need yo...
Thank you for your reply.
But I'm not accustomed to R and python, so I wanted to use Forecast because it doesn't require coding.
Could you tell me why I cannot use Forecast?
In addition to the above information, I could use Function when I use the data from web site, so I may mistook the settings.

Super UserOk, now I understood why I couldn't did it.
The web site you told me says:
Things to keep in mind about forecasting
Forecast is available for line charts only.
- The x-axis value needs to have a date/time format or be a uniformly increasing whole number.
- It can’t contain text or decimal numbers.
- Sometimes x-axis values appear to be dates, but they’re actually formatted as text. They won’t work for forecasting.
- The chart has to have only one line. Multiple-line charts don’t work, even if all but one line is filtered out.
- The line chart has to have fewer than 1,000 values. Power View samples data in charts with more than 1,000 values, and forecasting won’t work on sampled data.
- The four most recent values in the time series must increase uniformly, meaning there’s the same length of time between each value.
- The interval between values has to be at least one day.
And I didn't satisfy the requirement. Thank you.
