Forecast Feature Updates?

[Anonymous]

Is there any word on when we might some updates to the forecasting feature?  It has been roughly 18 months since the feature was introduced and it is probably long overdue for an update.  I like the forecast feature, but it would be great if we could get the data to populate into a matrix visual as well so we could actually see the upper and lower limits data instead of just getting it via a rollover tooltip.

@Anonymous,

You can use Show data option to expand the upper and lower limits data into a table visual. If the option doesn't meet your requirement, you can submit a feature request in Power BI ideas forum, once the idea is voted by many people, Power BI team will consider to add  this feature.

Interesting for sure!  For my rollovers the forecast outputs match the format of the sales data (whole dollars).  Drilling to show the data is a nice option but I'm getting results that go out about a dozen or so decimal places with no commas for thousands.  I guess there is no way at this time to format the results?

@Anonymous,

Yes. We are not able to format the forecast values.
