Forecasting feature is missing

Hello All,

 

I have lasted updates of 2017  April's fpr Power Bi Desktop

 

And I have used Line chart, I want to forecast the report. But in analytics I am not able to see Forecasting feature.

 

 

Not even Preview features. 

 

 

 

 

Please give the suggestions.

    Do you have a date field on the Axis? Forecast will only appear when using a date there.

    Thanks for the tips here. I had a date field and couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to get forecasting working. Reading the threads here I was saw the comment about Forecast not working with a Legend. I removed the legend an tada there it is.

    Hello, I am using May 2017 version of Power BI and forecasting feature is missing too.

    I went through a lot of forums I followed and doublechecked all suggestions, but forecast doesn't appear.

    I have date on X axis, I have just one line (no legend), no filter.

      I am having the same problem: data is date type, line graph, and no "forecast" option in the analytics pane for that visual. I have the latest update on desktop.

    Hello, 

     

    Was this issue resolved?

     

    I too cannot see forecasting anywhere in the analytics pane. It also appears to be missing from the preview features in options.

     

    Thank you,

    If you have any Secondary Values then forecast and anomalies wont work. So remove the secondary axis values and re-check again hope forecast and anomalies both work.

    I had luck going to the Format Visual Tab, then for the X-axis I had to reset to default. Somehow my date type was setup as categorical and you cannot see the option to change back to continuous.
