Future Driver values in Predictive Analytics algorithms

[#1]

Hi

The problem that I am facing at a large supermarket relates to configuring the algorithms for forecasting in SAP Predictive Analytics. We have extracted the historical data and using time series, obtained quite a goodness of fit in the forecasts. The part that remains is to use the discount information available for the next 6 weeks as a driver to further fine tune the time series forecast. Now it sounds straightforward and logical, but so far I cant seem to be configure Predictive Analytics tool to accept these future driver values. This is a sticking point for the users because they really want to be able to change their discounts and measure how the forecast is changing in response.

Thanks

Regards,

Adeel

Hi Adeel - is this Predictive Analytics Expert 3.2 you are using? What is the source of data (e.g. Excel, HANA , or?)
