It would be great if we could toggle on and off a trend line for line and bar charts

It would be nice if you could do add a function to do a basic linear prediction based on a simple linear regression. Hopefully, it could be use with R so, it's an extension of a trend line into the future, but not necessarily a forecast (giving weight to time order).

this is not completed, unless you want trends only for continuous variables (which is not very common or useful)

Also whilst we can do trend line per series we cannot add min/max/avg lines per series

RE: ability to add trend line to charts

please re-open this one, it's not at all complete... we stuck with the "categorical" type..

This also is a major feature of both Spotfire and Tableau. Its as simple as right clicking and choosing which type of curve fitting you want to do (straight line, exponential decline, power curve, etc.) Even better is the ability to generate a calculated value based on the fitted curve and save that value to the data set.

The trend line option added is useless, because the can only use it in some modes. Alse it can not be used when the x-axis is set on type; continuous and scale; lineair.

Hi All,

Seems Microsoft added linear trend lines and closed this idea out. I've added a new idea request for advanced trend lines. Please go vote/comment for it here:

I would really like trend line options other than linear. Exponential or polynomial would be fantastic!
