    Hi miguelflores,

     

    Yes, there is a forecasting feature in Power BI now.

     

    Since September 2016 release of Power BI Desktop (version 2.39.4526.362), Power BI supports a preview of forecasting from the Analytics pane. But you need to enable this preview feature, by going to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview Features, select the checkbox to enable Forecasting.

     

    If you are using the latest version (November 2016 Version: 2.41.4581.361), you can directly see this feature in Analytics pane. 

     

    By the way, forecasting requires at least six valid time/value data points.

    Thanks,
    Yuliana Gu
