Generate Forecast Value in a Table
Hi,
I have the bellow data set from 01 Jan 2016 to 05 Jan 2016 for 3 products, now need to know if i can generate the forecasted data for 06th and 7th jan 2016? If so then how?
Note: Original data set has more then three years data with 500 products.
The new forecasting Feature seems to does this but it does not give me the data in a tabular structure, so was wondering if i could genrate it.
| Date | Product | Rate |
| 01-Jan-16 | A | 15 |
| 02-Jan-16 | A | 13 |
| 03-Jan-16 | A | 9 |
| 04-Jan-16 | A | 13 |
| 05-Jan-16 | A | 13 |

You can use forecast package in R and R script in PowerBI to get the results you are looking for.

You CAN do forecasting with DAX, but it looks like pretty hard work just now - see https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Correlation-Seasonality-and-Forecasting-with-Power-BI/ba-p/14147
As BhaveshPatel points out, you can generate forecasts from Power BI with R right now. The following links may help:

Thanks Steve,
The tutorial has brilliantly shown the corelation and forecasting, Well i am just kinda worried that, it will get really complicated when i get to introduce multiple dimensions , like Product and Region. Right?

Hey Pavel,
Thanks for the super fast responds. Yes I could Export the file but unfortunately, it only exports the Total Forecast only, any idea if there is a way to export forecast for all products at the same time?
Chhers,
