Dataflows - Is Forcasting model available as Auto ML model

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Did anyone play with dataflows and ML models? Is forcasting model available?
If yes is there a documentation how to organize dataset in order to get this model as an option?

Best,

Hi @Anonymous 

I found some blogs about Auto ML model in power bi dataflow and I hope they could help you.

Blog1: Creating Machine Learning models in Power BI

Blog2: Tutorial: Build a Machine Learning model in Power BI

hi @v-rzhou-msft those two were actually the starting point. then I realized that forecasting is also part of Auto ML but I was not able to use it neither to prepare dataflow entities in a way to get forecasting model by default suggestion.

Hi @Anonymous 

You may refer to video and blog to build a forecast experiment and then build a dataflow with forecast model.

Hi @v-rzhou-msft More less yes but I was reffering to this link Creating Machine Learning models in Power BI . In second paragraph Creating an AutoML model in posted gif you can see that there is an option to choose Forecasting model beside Binary Prediction, Classification and Regression.

Hi @Anonymous 

From the latest blog I found that AutoML supports the creation of Binary Prediction, Classification, and Regression Models for dataflows. 

The forecasting model is not supported in AutoML.

You may refer to this blog for more details: Working with AutoML

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.
You can submit a new idea to improve the Power BI: Idea
It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
