'Forecasting' not available in Options
Hi F75,
From the image you posted, it seems the FisicalPeriod column contains value like this "2015 1", right?
In Power BI, 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. In my opinion, the issue can be that the value "2015 1" can't be recognize properly. You can modify the FisicalPeriod column remove year part and remain "1" as you already provide the FisicalYear in Axis property. See:

- v-qiuyu-msft yes formatting was the issue. I used CONCATENATE function and made it as Date field.
I had the same problem, resolved with the suggestions above (no fields in Legend area), and no filters
There is also the problem to have uniformity of predictive models between 'trend line' and 'forecasting', see the above example
I got better looking results in PBI desktop July 2019.
I tried to create a similar looking data set.
