It would be great if Fabric Plan had a built-in statistical forecasting option (exponential smoothing, trend line extension) that works directly on semantic model measures without requiring an external Fabric Notebook.

For retail, a seasonal decomposition + trend initialisation would be the killer feature. The current workaround via Fabric Notebooks works but requires Python skills that most FP&A teams don't have.

This would lower the barrier significantly for finance teams who want statistical baselines but don't have data scientists. Even a simple linear trend or exponential smoothing option in the forecast initialisation wizard would cover 80% of use cases.
