Excel in BI Webinars – Is Forecasting Still Relevant for Data Analysts? Forecasting has been a classic part of analytics for decades — but is it still relevant for data analysts in 2025? In this session we discuss the role of forecasting, when it adds value, and why many analysts spend more time on pipelines, dashboards, and insights instead of predictive models. We also look at Power BI’s built-in forecasting, practical use cases, and how different roles (analyst, data scientist, engineer) approach forecasting today.
