Creating Trends as a Visual

In a BI, I have generated a summary page, in which I show data, weekly and monthly of a time series, on that time series I calculate the 80th percentile. What I try to do is done automatically, in graphs, but I want to create somehow, that on that percentile select 8 data (the last 😎 and calculate a trend, indicate the trend, which in some cases, will be good or bad (sometimes positive and sometimes negative) marking 5%, 10%. The idea is to create it with two visual objects, one that shows the difference in % of the highest and lowest value of the series of 8 data and the other that shows an arrow with the characteristic of 5% orange, 10% red and if it improves more than 5% in green, as I say some values are good to decrease and others to increase.

Can you think of how to do it? It's giving me a lot of headaches.

Good afternoon, It would be something similar to this composition: The arrow would be the calculation of the hypothetical trend line with the values of the percentile (which BI calculates when filtering, of the P80, I have the raw data) positive or negative and the data would be the percentage of difference between those values.

First you will want to unpivot your data to bring it into a usable format

Based on this graph - what is your expected outcome?
