Line chart help (forecasting)

Hi,

 

I am looking to try and add forecasting to my dataset if possible.

I tried adding a date table but received an error that my data isn't evenly spaced.

 

Any help would be greatly appriciated

 

Here is a link to my pbix file https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8xgudgl7ylb4c8/test.pbix?dl=0

 

Another issue I have is on my cumulative line charts. If there is a month with no sales of a product the line for that year does not remain flat, it just disappears. Any reccomendations on how to fix this would be awesome.

Hi @kylemaslak 

You may create a table as a calendar table.Then create the measures.Please check Page2 in attached file.

year over year fitting =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Test[Fitting Qty] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        AND (
            'Table'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
            YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
        )
    )
)

You could use the old "+ 0" trick for your measure to generate a 0 when there is no data
