Click on a link about forecasting in Power BI. There is no Forecast.ETS function, but it does have some forecast capabilities, as described in that article.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Could you please check the type of "Date1" Column? Based on my test, it can works with the date type:

Hi, sorry, I missed this. So I got it to work, but this Forecast feature in PBI is extremely limited 😞 For instance, line chart looks great with Date as axis, and Values in y-axis. But, if I want to slice the forecast values by another field, e.g. City, the forecast values disappear and line chart goes back to just showing actuals. Sad.

It seems that this applies to say a line graph with Year as axis. So if I want t use Date or Month then the Forecast option won't show up in the Analytics pane option 😞
