When the forecast options are set up, you can preview the forecast.
Before you begin
Note: The preview operation does not change your actual data.
You can preview only one time series at a time. The forecasting preview shows what the results
for the forecast look like, based on your input. By default Preview is not
active. Select up to 25 rows and you are able to click Preview.
Procedure
- On the Forecast dialog box, click
Preview.
The preview is displayed with a visualization of the forecasted data, which is represented as a
dotted line. Member captions, if available, are displayed on the preview by default.
A univariate forecast shows predicted values, as well as a confidence envelope that indicates
high and low bounds within a shaded area.
A multivariate forecast shows predicted values without a confidence envelope. A multivariate
forecast also includes separate tabs for each variable included in the forecast. Click a tab to
review data for the variables.
The Prediction accuracy shows: low, medium, or high.
