Forecasting and trend lines DO NOT work if you are using your own custom fiscal calendar. MOST businesses have fiscal periods that don't align perfectly with calendar periods. If a custom date hierarchy is used, forecasting and trend lines should still work. It pretty ridiculous to have to tell executives that a trend line cannot be added to a visual.

RE: Forecasting and Trend lines for custom date hierarchies/fiscal calendars
I would like to know if there is an update on being able to use a custom date hierarchy for forecasting. I agree it's pretty ridiculous to have to tell executives that a trend line cannot be added to a visual.
RE: Forecasting and Trend lines for custom date hierarchies/fiscal calendars
Interesting, I would like to understand a little bit more about how these trend lines are not working. I use custom date all the time and they work. Also when I make a linear regression measure I am pretty sure it matches the trend lines, however now I want to explore this a touch more if the value are identical.
