hi @Dhilip_Kumar 

You can try ETS tool under "Time Series" category. The attached WF is for your reference.

@gawa Thank you for your help. Much Appreciated and it works perfectly. Would it possible to forecast various types of Products sales in single chart and how can we get those output as pdf. I have attached new input file with various products sales volume. Please advice me.

I would suggest splitting the data into the first 3 years and th elast 2 years and push the data both through an ARIMA (possibly with covariance) and an ETS tool and then use the TS compare tool on the most recent 2 years to see which model works better with unseen data. Then train the better model with the complete data set.

 

This way you might get a better forecast
