Time forecasting tools, ETS

I'm using these tools for the first time, and for some reason, the R output is giving me this image in the output. Why are the values of the x and y axis like this and not like y - values and x - dates?

Check the I anchor and see if you are getting similar issues!

I believe it's similar, here's the I output

It's likely due to the number of periods you have - when you hover over the chart in the I anchor, does it still give the issue?

 

Alternatively, I might suggest aggregating to a different level - i.e., if it's daily, try weekly.

This is the I output after I changed it to weekly, it was daily. How do I see the number of periods?

They should show when you hover over the chart!

It shows the month and year, is that what you're referring to?

Yes! If you are still having issues, you can also try the Interactive Chart tool - the main issue is that it's just a lot of data to display on those axes!

Understood, thanks for your help. So the most recent picture I sent looks fine to you, it's just a lot of data so may seem confusing, but it is correct?
