The first action is to add the date to the Columns shelf and the segment and the sales to the Rows shelf. This will create a line chart that shows the daily sales by segment over time. You can use the Show Me menu to choose a line chart if it is not selected by default. The second action is to aggregate the date to month and year. This will group the daily sales into monthly sales and show the yearly trend. You can right-click on the date field on the Columns shelf and select Month (January 2017) from the menu. You can also drag Year from the Dimensions pane to the Columns shelf before or after Month. The third action is to drag Forecast from the Analytics pane to the worksheet. This will add a forecast that predicts future sales by segment based on historical trends. You can customize the forecast by clicking on it and using the options on the Marks card. The other options are not relevant for this scenario. Adding a trend line would show a linear or nonlinear relationship between two measures, but not a prediction of future values. Creating a calculated field that uses the model quantile function would return a value from a statistical model based on a given quantile, but not a forecast.
