R help - Mar 2017 - Getting the date out of R forecast funcion along with the forecasts as a data frame

Dear all,

I am currently generating forcasts using several different functions in
Azure Machine Learning Studio using the R script module (nnetar,
auto.arima, HoltWinters, ets, etc.).

However, I want to find a way to get the dates of the forecasts and put
those dates (along with the forecasts) in a data.frame format.

Whenever I transform the forecast function results into a data frame, the
date of the forecasts is lost, or seems like you cannot get the date of the
forecasts and make them part of the data frame containing the forecast
results.

I would like to manipulate the results in such a way that I can get the
following format:

Date              Forecast
Jan-2017       ######
Feb-2017       ######

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Best regards,

Paul

A) This is a support forum for R, a free software. It is your responsibility to
confirm that your difficulties occur when that software is used, and confirm
that knowledge by referencing the version you used (e.g. using the sessionInfo
function) and not referencing proprietary software.

B) Provide a minimal reproducible example (code and data)  that computes  what
you do get and show what you thought you would get by contrast. This example
should explicitly state which packages you are using, not offer hand waving
lists of possible packages.  Google "R reproducible example" to learn
more about how to do this.

C) This is a plain text mailing list. This means that when you post your email
in HTML format, we do not see what you saw, so you must send in plain text
format if you want us to clearly understand you. This is a setting in your email
program that can usually be set on a per-email or all sent emails basis.

Please read the Posting Guide, which points out these and many other sage bits
of advice.

FWIW, most forecasting uses date/time as an INPUT,  so it is your responsibility
to specify which dates/times you are interested in seeing results for.
