Using inbuilt Forecasting with secondary value

I am looking to use the forecasting analytics built into the line graph

but i also want to show a secondary value at same time

when i do this, the ability to use the forecast is hidden. is there a way to show do this? or do i need to put a graph behind each other to make it seem that it is 1 graph?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Currently, in the latest version of powerbi desktop. Line chart visual can only make predictions on values, does not work on visual with secondary values. If you want to make secondary predictions, my suggestion is to put the fields in secondary values into values to try.
