Hi @Anonymous ,

Have you solved your problem? If not, please refer to the following blog.

  • Merge in another data set with all possible dates for the date range I wanted for the report, then use the dates from that 2nd data set for the X-Axis so every date in the range would have a data point.  
  • On the Merge dialog box, shown below, we select our Join/Merge key (ExcelNumericDate), and select our “Join Kind”, eg: INNER, LEFT, RIGHT etc… Be careful here to pick the correct type of join, Right or Left, depending on which order the data sets are in.

More details: when your “Data is too irregular to forecast

HI @Anonymous ,

 

I am not able to replicate this issue at my end as I can create forecasting.

There is an existing thread on the forum for this. See if it helps:
