Tableau Time Series Prediction using Python Integration

Question

I need help regarding the time series in Tableau. So far Here is what I can do.

• Connect to TabPY
• Call / Run scripts on TabPy

My current issue is that tableau doesn't seem to allow more output than input elements. Say I want to use the last 100 data points to predict the coming 10 points. Input of the data to python isn't a problem. The problem comes when I want to return a list with 110 elements. I've also tried returning the 10 elements and it complaints that it expects 100 elements list.

Thanks for reading

I've found a work around. You can see the post here for more information. Basically you shift the original values by the prediction amount and then have the prediction return the same amount as the shifted original
