Forecasting tool - issue using 'ignore the last'

I've been struggiling with this issue for some time now and not sure what the issue is.

I have got monthly data extracts, which provide submission data. One column provides 'start of the week' and I use this for the timeline and then a Count of submissions to create a basic line chart. My aim was to add the Forecasting feature within Power BI to Forecast 6 months. 

My issue is, the Forecast line will only appear if I ignore the last months data. If it is set to 0 (which I want, as I want it to create a forecast taking into account every month) it will error and say there is a date issue. If I ignore the last month, it works..

 

I have got 5 months worth of data, and everytime I update it, it works, but only if I ignore the latest month. Any ideas?

The forecast line dissapears entirely. I then get a error staying the data is too irregular.

Would it possible to provide a sample of the data with the dates but with any private data removed.

Usually there are staff numbers inbetween this. I also had to strip alot of data out to fit in below. But you should be able to replicate my visual with the data below:

Hi @Kai_PBI 

 

Does it still occur if you set the interval to Points instead of Months?
