IBM Planning Analytics Forecasting

IBM Planning Analytics Tips & Tricks: Planning Analytics Forecasting – Setting up the Forecast

March 9, 2021 by Nina Inverso Leave a Comment

This is part three in a three-part series on IBM Planning Analytics’ new feature, Forecasting. 

In our previous blog about IBM Planning Analytics’ new Forecasting feature, we reviewed the steps required to preview your forecast. Once previewed, you can then run your Forecast.

  1. Open a Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) book and add a new cube view. Setting up the forecast in IBM Planning Analytics Forecasting
  2. Place the time dimension’s flat hierarchy alone on the columns. As of PAW version 2.0.60, you will no longer be required to display the entire hierarchy on the view. Instead, you will have the option to select the scope of the historical data used in the forecast.
  3. Select the context and row elements to forecast. For example:
    • Drag the account dimension on top of the source dimension to swap their positions.
    • Click on the version dimension to select a different version of the data from the drop-down list.
    • Double-click on the account dimension to select the row elements. Setting up the forecast in IBM Planning Analytics Forecasting

Your PAW cube view is now ready as a Planning Analytics Forecasting model.

IBM Planning Analytics, which TM1 is the engine for, is full of new features and functionality. Not sure where to start? Our team here at Revelwood can help.

This is part two of a three-part series on IBM Planning Analytics new Forecasting feature. 

In our first blog about Planning Analytics’ new Forecasting feature, we reviewed the steps required to configure your forecast. Once configured, you can then preview your forecast before to get a better idea of the results prior to populating the cube.

  1. Open the PAW book that contains your forecast view. Previewing the forecast in IBM Planning Analytics
  2. Click anywhere on the view to activate it. Then click the Forecast icon in the ribbon at the top of the screen. This will open the Forecast window on the right-hand side of your screen. Configure the forecast settings if you have not already done so. Previewing the forecast in IBM Planning Analytics
  3. Click on one of the elements in your row dimension to select the row. Then click the Preview button in the Forecast window on the right-hand side of your screen. Previewing the forecast in IBM Planning Analytics
  4. The Forecast preview window will open. There are two tabs with information about the forecast:

a. Preview chart

The Preview chart depicts displays the forecasted data, along with a surrounding shaded area. There is a 95% chance that the actual values will fall in this shaded area (or cloud).

b. Statistical details
