Hi Quin,

The forecasting feature is controlled by the Forecast dialog box available at the right corner of each eligible visualization. A visualization is eligible if both the visualization type and specified data are supported for forecasting.

To use forecasting, the visualization must be either a line, bar, or column visualization.

In your time serie, you should have enough values or you will receive this error message : "Forecasting did not succeed for one or more series due to an insufficient number of historical data points (at least 5 non-ignored points are required). Refer to Forecasting statistical details for more information."

Best regards,

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for your information that is helpful.  I have a line chart.  On the top right-hand corner, there are two icons.  One is "Insights," and the other one is "Narrative insights".  When I changed the chart type to either a bar or a column chart, there was no forecast option either. I think in our environment, it has not been enabled, and therefore, it is not available to us.

Best regards,

Quin

Hi Quin

Would you be able to test with samples data from the samples folder? Do you use a package or a data module?

If you use a package, you need to use "Enrich package" feature.

Hello Patrick,

The sample data are not available to us, so I cannot test it.  The chart uses a data module.  Good to know that if we are using a package, we need to use the "enrich package" feature.

Thank you,

Quin
