How to get the date generated by the forecast function as another field in a data frame

Hello Rui,

I have attached the .csv file, I will attach it again.

Please let me know if you can access it.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello,

Since we don't have access to file ContainerDataNEW.csv I cannot say for
sure but it seems that those dates are the rownames so you could try

rownames(TSSeriesModel1Forecast)

and see what it gives. Or I might be completely mistaken.

Hope this helps,

Dear all,

I am currently using R for windows Version 3.3.3 (I will provide the
sessionInfo() output below)

library("Rcmdr")

Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: RcmdrMisc
Loading required package: car
Loading required package: sandwich

Rcmdr Version 2.3-2

library(forecast)
library(tseries)

     'tseries' version: 0.10-35

     'tseries' is a package for time series analysis and computational
     finance.

     See 'library(help="tseries")' for details.

library(stats)
library(stats4)

Data<-read.csv("ContainerDataNEW.csv")

TSData<-ts(Data[,1], start=c(1985,10), frequency=12)

TSeriesModel1<-ets(TSData)

TSSeriesModel1Forecast<-forecast(TSeriesModel1,h=24)

Now the output from forecasts is the following:

                 Point Forecast    Lo 80    Hi 80       Lo 95
 Hi 95

However, as you can see, the first "column" contains the dates for the
forecasts, but it appears as a field with no name.

What I would like to do is to get those dates, add them as an additional
column to the forecasts so that when I use the data.frame(Forecasts) I can
have a result in this fashion:

Date              Point Forecast    Lo 80         Hi 80       Lo 95
   Hi 95

Is there a way to do this?

Here is the sessionInfo() output:
