The Tableau forecast feature is okay as it stands. What I am trying to forecast is forecasted number * variable stat 1 * variable stat 2. Ideally, I would like to take Tableau's forecast feature, get access to that equation and do Tableau forecast value * calculated field 1 * calculated field 2. Is there any way to achieve this? My main roadblock is being seemingly unable to reference forecast equation as a field to reference in calculations.

You'll need to be on version 2020.3 to do this: we expose the forecast functionality in that version.
