In docs.microsoft article there is a statement:

The forecast tool ignores Scrum items set to Committed or Done and Agile and CMMI items set to Active, Resolved, or Completed.

And so the tool includes in current iteration's forecast such items:

  • really moved to the current iteration and really active and resolved;
  • and next few iterms really moved to the next iteration; WHY they are ignored? They don't complete and the team need time to complete ones! I don't understand how to use this tool? What kind of process proposed to use?

Thanks a lot!

You are correct that the forecast tool ignores the In Progress Items whether they are shown or hidden. Regarding why they are ignored, I'm afraid it's by design. Once your team has completed a sprint or two, they can use the team velocity to forecast how much of the backlog they can finish within the upcoming sprints. This doesn't include In Process Items, but for Proposed items.
