    #N/A error in FORECAST.ETS Function.. please help

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new here. Hope you all are having a nice day.
    Can someone help me with the function:
    FORECAST.ETS

    I enter all arguments but I get error as #N/A
    But when I enter only FORECAST then I don't get the error.

    I am using Excel 2016, online. As in through my Microsoft Account.

    Google says that #N/A error means the range of values and dates in the function are not same. But I have put same amount of data for both arguments.

    Any advice on where I'm wrong?
    Dates:
    1) 1/12/2014
    2) 1/13/2014
    3) 1/14/2014

    To Find for date: 1/15/2014

    Values are:
    1) 10
    2) 12
    3) 14

    This is just to check. Actual range is far bigger. Can anyone advise as to how to get rid of #N/A error?

    Hi,
    Thanks for this.
    But I tried that as well. When I open the file, in the link, in online Excel 2016, then I get #N/A.

    Re: #N/A error in FORECAST.ETS Function.. please help

    I just open this example and don't see any NA error (online)

    (don't look at J/K76 and J/K77)
    FORECAST.ETS starts from C61

    to see error what you get

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    maybe this: The dates in the timeline must have a consistent step between them and can’t be zero.

    But it works if I put the function as only Forecast.
    However then I cannot calculate the intervals (other 2 columns in right).
    I tried the forecast.ets function with other dates like:
    1/2/2014
    2/2/2014
    and for unknown date I put: 3/2/2014

    But still i got #N/A error...

    Yeah but how does MS want it to work. If I knew what caused the #N/A error I could fix it.

    In Excel Desktop it works well, in Excel Online it doesn't work.
    Maybe. Was it working in the file that I attached? I was getting #N/A error there as well
    I give up, call MS Support
    Thanks a lot.

    I tested your example OFF and ON line, so OFFline it works but ONline - don't.
    Sorry I can't help but sometimes MS is weird

    If you want the latest version of Excel (Office) - buy a subscription for 365

    but first check this function with anyone who has 365, then think about subscription
