Advanced Forecasting. You can easily create and expand multiple forecasting tables using the Add Forecast command, then calculate moving averages (simple and exponential smoothing), linear regression (track trends) and adjust forecasts for seasonal variations. You can compare forecasts using any combination of methods with Compare Forecasts, or compare results from simulated (computer generated) outputs created by each forecasting method using Simulate. Keep track of the forecast value of a portfolio of investments using Portfolio using moving averages, regression of seasonal forecasting. |
| Moving averages Advanced MA basis you can switch moving average forecasting to any time series base (12306090100500 days/months) within a single forecasting table for quick analysis of short and long term moving averages. For rapidly changing data use the exponential forecasting option which gives weight to more historical data. | |
|
Updating Forecasts Advanced updating you can add your sales figures, gold prices, stock prices, subscription levels, student enrollments* history to a regression forecasting table and then by simply adding one more time periods the latest trend factor and forward looking forecasts are created immediately. |

* Any time based data series. |

| Plus New Excel forecasting functions. |
The forecast instructions templates provide the directions for constructing seasonality forecasts. The screen images displayed below are copied from the Forecast instructional templates/Seasonal page. You can use the Add Forecast/Seasonality dialog to calculate a forecast incorporating seasonality ups and downs with an underlying positive trend.
The Upper level screen shows the Add Forecast dialog plus the seasonality index calculations and the start of the forecasting table.

The lower level screen displays the forecast values for each time period that you will have specified in the Add Forecast dialog.

Use the Compare Forecasts dialog to select the most accurate forecast.
The blue colored cells within the template are calculated forecast values.

Forecast functions are available when you install Forecast.xla

New versions of the add-ins are released constantly. The screens above may have been improved beyond the images provided on this page. Refer to the instruction templates for description of added features and improvements. Buyers of our Add-In Collections receive upgrades automatically.
Solutions (and functions) are linked to the add-in that creates them. When opened on another computer the reference includes a path to the add-in located on the originating system. Multi system editions provide a Links/Freeze function. Links/Freeze allows you to Freeze the output results created by system 1, copy to another system 2 with the add-in installed, then all outputs display in 2 (and systems 3, 4, 5, etc.). To run this add-in on several systems (work, laptop and at home) you need the multi system edition.
The add-in menu on this page is available in Mac versions of Excel. In Windows Excel, the add-in installs into the PJ_MLNS menu which is located on the toolbar. The add-in menu as shown does not display in Windows Excel.
