Instead of Tsp = c(2016, 2018, 12)
try Tsp = c(2016, 2018.25, 12) Hence, you can specify the object as structure(c(5973156.76, 5159011.2, 6695766.64, 6365359, 6495218.53, 7226302.39, 6835272.7, 7383501.57, 6962748.19, 7623278.72, 7274994.33, 7919421.8, 7360740.81, 7436693.35, 8545765.55, 7337269.76, 8180585.44, 8376635.05, 7758261.24, 10374641.22, 8000314.11, 9114958.9, 9805149.15, 9336939.45, 10273849.1, 9159308.71, 10184703.33, 10251153.52, -52340.21, -90911.29, -90135.33, -147196.03, -112831.26, -99443.31, -72584.09, -161869.48, -117805.41, -81102.39, -175379.25, -190596.12, -110838.08, -127953.99, -129414.01, -131570.11, -28814.27, -63066.4, -134587.17, -27610.96, -169293.37, -144034.7, -193376.36, -135743.08, -151767.63, -156816.35, -113074.01, -160705.61, -700973.75, -891171.15, -805670.71, -821222.02, -1078184.45, -980080.81, -786506.89, -1244278.5, -1392779.81, -1186436.41, -1108016.28, -1201663.88, -1163848.16, -1028830.6, -1507572.01, -1210422.01, -1529691.9, -1207461.55, -1615971.18, -978028.1, -1354515.28, -1624270.48, -1596204.33, -1836731.26, -1310376.81, -1337718.49, -1492220.98, -1421801.16), .Dim = c(28L, 3L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, c("TotalNetRev", "TotalRevAdjusted", "TotalRevCancelled")), .Tsp = c(2016, 2018.25, 12), class = c("mts", "ts", "matrix")) You were correct that the error was because of 28 time-points. This is the fix for it. Huzefa On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 2:08 PM, Bill Poling <bill.pol...@zelis.com> wrote: > Hi.
