Hi Claster,

Based on your screenshot, your PowerBI desktop version is December version. As I posted above,  the Analytic forecasting feature is still preview in september. In November release, the feature is generally available to everyone, so you no longer need to enable it through the Options dialog. For more details about December updata, please review this article. Thanks a lot.

 

Best Regards,
Angelia

      I had the same problem with a lien chart with year in the X-Axis. I couldn't see the "forecast" option from Analytics.

       

      I resolved this by changing type format of X-Axis, from "Categorical" to "Continuous". When type format of X-Axis was "Categorical" I couldn't see the "forecast" option inside Analytics, but when I changed it to "Contiuous", both "forecast" and "trend line" options appeared inside Analytics. Check if that works...

      Hi Claster,

       

      I just quickly checked with my sample data and it's working. Please ensure there is no fields in Legend area and you are using Date column in Axis area.

       

       

      Or you could share your pbix file and sample data so we could quickly detect your mismatch.

      I've found that not all values as your X axis will allow for forecasting, so if that option isn't available try changing it.
