Problem
How to use the analytic advanced functions to forecast using YEAR and MONTH.
Solution
In the Analytic advance function for FORCAST_EXPAVE, locate the npredict value.
The npredict value is the number of predictions for FORECAST to calculate. It must be an integer greater than or equal to zero. Zero indicates that you do not want predictions, and is only supported with a non-recursive FORECAST
If it is set to 0, it will display the output as expected. If it is set to 1, it displays output up to 13, setting to 2 displays up to 14 and so on.
For additional information, review the FORECAST_EXPAVE: Using Single Exponential Smoothing document which explains how to calculate the FORCAST_EXPAVE value.
