Forecasting set 0 as lower bound

Is it possible to set a lower bound of 0? It makes no real sense to have values below 0

      Still below 0

       

      Also there are days of the week where the value is 0, if I remove those, forecasting is not able to calculate between there are time periods missing (the ones with the 0 or really low values), there is no way to exclude those values without affecting the forecast tool?

        Currently there is no way to set upper and lower bounds on forecasts, you could submit that as an Idea if it does not exist already. Also, I have found that forecasting likes values for contiguous dates and you need to have enough data points to make forecasting viable.

         

        I would note that from your image, forecasting is not predicting anything below zero other then at the outside edges of its confidence interval. The actual forecast predictions are all above zero.

    If you set Y-axis range to 0 of the visual, that might do the trick you are looking for, at least visually. Worked for me, might be helpful for you as well.
