Hey,

can you please post a screenshot from your Options, like this one

Go to: File --> Options and settings --> Options --> R scripting

I assume you already have R installed on your desktop, this is necessary for the Forecast visuals.

Regards

    Hey,
    
    please excuse beeing that persistent, but searching the term "forecasting" in the custom visuals on the office store reveals just
    Time Series Forecasting Chart
    Forecasting with Arima
    I assume you are referencing the first one, did you check that all the requirede packages are installed to you R instance, referenced by Power BI.
    
    Top check this, open your R ide, make sure that your ide points to the same R instance that is used by Power BI, check if all the needed packages are installed to your R instance by using this line of code in your R ide
    library("zoo")
    for each package separately, if necessary install missing packages.
    
    The visual "Time Series Forecasting Chart" needs the following packages:
    "graphics", "scales", "forecast", "zoo", "ggplot2", "htmlWidgets", "XML", "plotly"
    
    Hope this helps
    
    Regards
    Tom
