Hello Jayanthan, 

Into the modeling folder you have a subfolder named Time series. 

there you have some operators for forecasting analysis

In this case if you want to work with you data per mont, week, quarter, you can use operator named Function and Seasonal Component Forecast.  

There you can chose the seasonality parameter to define the period, for example 4 for quartely data, 12 for montly data, etc. 

Regards,
