Using predictive forecasting through a trend time series chart
Time series forecasting is only supported for planning models. So, you need planning rights and a planning license to run a predictive time-series forecast. However, you can add predictive forecast by creating a trend time series chart based on an analytical model to estimate future values. In this exercise, you will use a trend time series chart to view net revenue trends throughout the range of a year. A predictive time-series forecast runs an algorithm on historical data to predict future values for specific measures. For this type of chart, you can forecast a maximum of three different measures, and you have to specify the time for the prediction and the past time periods to use as historical data.
