Where is Analytics Forecasting
Aside from the video on that Microsoft blog, there are various guides to using forecasting around. Here's one: http://databear.com/2016/10/07/forecasting-in-power-bi/
Hi Steven,
I have followed the instructions in this like several times but still no success.
I have done this over and over. Its simply not visible.
File > options and setting > options > preview features > tick Forecasting > click ok > restart Power BI desktop
There is no tick box with Forecasting on the preview features screen. Please see attached screenshot.
- As the second post in this thread said, it is no longer a preview feature and thus you don't need to enable it.
I am on mobile at the moment so i cant check but it is either on the analytics pane for the line chart visual or if you click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the visual. Hi nikndna1,
Based on your screenshot, your version should be November rather than September version. There is no Clustering feature in September update. Please click file->Help->About, verify your desktop version. In september, the Analytic forecasting feature is still preview. In November release, the feature is generally available to everyone, so you no longer need to enable it through the Options dialog. While it is available in the Power BI on the web.Best Regards,
AngeliaAs dkay84_PowerBI says and per my previous post, "With [the November 2016] release, the [forecasting] feature is generally available to everyone, so you no longer need to enable it through the Options dialog."
Do you have the November 2016 or January 2017 release of Power BI Desktop installed?
I thought the linked databear post (http://databear.com/2016/10/07/forecasting-in-power-bi/) showed quite well how to use the Forecast feature, via the Analytics pane.
