Forecast Measures as a New Visualization

Select AnalysisForecast. The Forecast window appears.

From the Date category drop-down list, select the date, time, or datetime data item for the forecast.

From the Forecast area, select the measures that you want to include in the forecast.

(Optional) If you selected a single measure for Forecast, then you can also select additional measures to use as Underlying factors in the forecast. The forecasting model evaluates the additional measures to determine whether they contribute to the accuracy of the forecast. If the additional measures do not increase the accuracy of the forecast, then they are not used. If the additional measures do increase the accuracy of the forecast, then the forecast line is adjusted, and the confidence bands are narrowed.

In the Forecast duration field, enter the number of data values that you want to predict for the forecast.

Click OK to create the visualization. The visualization is created as a line chart.
