How to forecast for the previous year ?
Considering your case what it would had been for year 1999 ?

[@SwanandSataji]

is there any way to create forcast in dashed/dotted line format?

[@techianshi]

Great question but i do not think it is possible to create dashed/ dotted lines for a trend lines/forecasts in Tableau.. i know it is possible to do dashed lines for reference lines but not sure on the forecasts..i will look for some resources and see if this is possible 👍
