What Is It? 

The Forecast Wizard helps you build a forecasting model based on existing data from an Excel table, an Excel range, or an external data source. A forecasting model detects patterns in a series of cells. It uses these patterns to forecast the evolution of these series of cells.



What Does It Do?

The wizard enables you to specify the series of cells to be evaluated, as well as a time stamp series, if your data contains one.



Notes

In order to use the Forecasting Wizard, you must be connected to a SQL Server Analysis Services database. The model created by this wizard can be saved, or it can be a temporary model used only during your data mining session. To create a temporary model, the server must be configured to allow temporary mining models. Contact your server administrator to make sure the server configuration allows temporary mining models. The wizard also allows you to specify whether the model preserves the training data and associates it with the patterns (enable drillthrough).
