Unable to run the python script correctly

Hi,

 

I'm trying to run a python script that will essentially perform time series forecasting on my input data.

What I want is the next 12 predicted values.

I did this in jupyter but not able to do it in power bi as I'm getting the same dataset instead of predictions in power bi

 

What is wrong?
Dataset has 110 records. 2 records pasted below:

 

datetcv
1/1/20132011131
2/1/20132053142

My code:

 

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pypyodbc  as pyodbc
import pandas as pd 
from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model import ARMA,ARMAResults,ARIMA,ARIMAResults
from statsmodels.graphics.tsaplots import plot_acf,plot_pacf # for determining (p,q) orders
from statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters import ExponentialSmoothing

SERVER_NAME = 'servername.its.corp.net'
DATABASE_NAME = 'GDB'


cnxn = pyodbc.connect(Driver='{SQL Server}', Server=SERVER_NAME , database=DATABASE_NAME,
                      trusted_connection='Yes')

cursor = cnxn.cursor()



sql_query = """
select  * from my_table
"""


# With Headers
df = pd.read_sql(sql_query, cnxn,index_col='date',parse_dates=True)
#index col is required to make sure stasmodel on this dataset we need to set index frequency
df.index.freq = 'MS'

method_TESmul12 = ExponentialSmoothing(df['tcv'],trend='mul',seasonal='mul',seasonal_periods=12).fit()
dataset = method_TESmul12.forecast(12)

Hi @klehar ,

 

I have tested with Python 3.10.2 and the results in Power BI and Python are the same.

Here is the table I used to test.

Hi @klehar ,

 

I have posted my test result. Please check if any differences.

So I made some modifications to the code and Im getting the output now.

However, my power bi and python show different predictions

Wonder where I have to set the seed, if that is the case

 

NewCode

 

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pypyodbc  as pyodbc
import pandas as pd 
from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model import ARMA,ARMAResults,ARIMA,ARIMAResults
from statsmodels.graphics.tsaplots import plot_acf,plot_pacf # for determining (p,q) orders
from statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters import ExponentialSmoothing

SERVER_NAME = 'db.its.corp.net'
DATABASE_NAME = 'GDB'


cnxn = pyodbc.connect(Driver='{SQL Server}', Server=SERVER_NAME , database=DATABASE_NAME,
                      trusted_connection='Yes')

cursor = cnxn.cursor()



sql_query = """
select * from my_table
"""


# With Headers
df = pd.read_sql(sql_query, cnxn,index_col='date',parse_dates=True)
#index col is required to make sure stasmodel on this dataset we need to set index frequency
df.index.freq = 'MS'

method_TESmul12 = ExponentialSmoothing(df['tcv'],trend='mul',seasonal='mul',seasonal_periods=12).fit()
range = pd.date_range('01-02-2022',periods=12,freq='MS')
predictions = method_TESmul12.forecast(12).astype(int)
predictions_range = pd.DataFrame({'Date':range, 'TCV':predictions})
predictions_range
