Hi @miguelflores,

Yes, there is a forecasting feature in Power BI now.

Since September 2016 release of Power BI Desktop (version 2.39.4526.362), Power BI supports a preview of forecasting from the Analytics pane. But you need to enable this preview feature, by going to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview Features, select the checkbox to enable Forecasting.

If you are using the latest version (November 2016 Version: 2.41.4581.361), you can directly see this feature in Analytics pane. 

By the way, forecasting requires at least six valid time/value data points.

I'm not sure this is always true.

I have Power BI release Version: 2.50.4859.502 64-bit (September 2017)

As you can see from the available options, no forcasting option. Anyt throughts always welcome. Thanking you in advance.
