Hello! I am haviong this issue on both the desktop and web versions of PowerBI. I have monthly data I want to show a trend line for, the option shows up under the analysis of the visual, but I cannot turn it to ON, if I try, it just goes back to Off each time.
The data I am showing is a measure I created which is actual a percentage of helpdesk tickets vs those where the SLA was met.
I have a trend line set up for the total incidents and that works:
And the met works as well:
But when I use the DAX to make a percentage of what ones were met, I cannot make this have a trend line.
Solved! Go to Solution.
To anyone who reads this, I made a new table and used the SummarizeColumns to make totals by the month, then did the percentage calc in the table. Used that field for my line chart and I was able to make a trend line. Woof.
Here was my code for the table
MetSLObyMonth = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(SLO_Tickets[Year],SLO_Tickets[Month],"Incidents",sum(SLO_Tickets[IncidentCounter]),"MetSLO",sum(SLO_Tickets[MetSloCount]))
Here is my code for the percentage
MetSLOPercent = (MetSLObyMonth[MetSLO]/MetSLObyMonth[Incidents])*100
I still need to figure out how to concat the month/year properly, but this fixed my issue.

I do have this set as continuous.
Make sure your X axis is set to Continuous or it won't let you turn on the trend line.
