Hi. I am trying to follow this forecasting tutorial at: https://www.r-bloggers.com/basic-forecasting/

Using my own data, I cannot get past the first step, lots of laughs.

dat3 <- structure(c(5973156.76, 5159011.20,  6695766.64,  6365359.00,  6495218.53,  7226302.39,  6835272.70,  7383501.57,  6962748.19,  7623278.72,  7274994.33

                    ,.Dim = c(28L, 3L)
                    ,.Dimnames = list(NULL, c("TotalNetRev","TotalRevAdjusted" ,"TotalRevCancelled"))
                    ,.Tsp = c(2016, 2018, 12)
                   , class = c("mts", "ts", "matrix"))

Error in attributes(.Data) <- c(attributes(.Data), attrib) :
  invalid time series parameters specified

I think the error may be due to 28 months of data, complete 2016 & 2017 but only 4 months in 2018 and my Tsp is a value of 12? If so how would I adjust?

I have googled a few references for the error, but the solution is not clear to me.

Thanks for any advice.
