It will be great if there is a forecasting feature with designer, like now it having with office 2016 preview.

Is there any kind of timeline for this release?

I have tried to stack values into a forecasting value which would be the easiest thing ever in Excel but seems impossible in Power BI. For example I want to use the forecast sales of next month and stack it on top of the forecast sales values to the month after that. It would be amazing if that became a possibility.

why just power bi desktop? Can't this feature be made available in the cloud app too?

In how long will appear this capability ? It issue might determinate what software is most properly for BI in my organization ?

The lack of forecasting in Power BI has been a deal breaker for our BI shop and has forced us to implement Tableau. The lack of forecasting, the limited, restrictive, and mediocre visualizations in Power BI, and the choppy unfriendly UI compared to Tableau has turned us away from Power BI. This is unfortunate because I recommended Power BI over Tableau last year but Power BI lacks too many features and functionalities that are readily available in Tableau today. We are not in a position to continually keep waiting for standard BI functionality to be added to Power BI.
