Power BI Visual Forecasting vs Excel Forecasting Algorithm Difference

[OlapOffice]

I am trying to work out why there is a difference between the Power BI visual forecasted values and the Excel forecasted values. The same set of data is being used and all settings appear to be the same. Does anyone have any idea as to the reason, or understand the different algorithms being used? #powerbi #data #forecasting #sec #budgeting #Excel #visualizations #revenue #mergersandacquisitions #financialreporting #accountants #regulation #forecast #projection #cfo
