Hi @Rhitik_Krishnani,

 

1. ARIMA is the best model as it seemed to outperform ETS. When comparing your errors the one closer to 0 or with the lowest scores is your best model.

 

2. I created two Batch Macros - one to compare which model would work best for each item name, the second to forecast each item for the next 12 months (ARIMA) 

 

Hope this helps! 

Best, 

Joslyn
