Trend Lines
Nice one ImkeF, I just found that today and was planning on updating my oh-so-dated knowledge!
Anyone NOT having trend lines options show after the update for all type expected?
Note says " data in the following charts: line, scatter, bubble, column, area, and combo charts" and I have in scatter. But for a column or line chart no "Trend Line" as expected from the release notes and video.
Column chart options below.
DouglasAPlummer Looks like it is also dependent on what field you are using in your x-axis. If you look closely in the video in the two examples, one is using time, the other a numeric value. I just tested this out and it didn't show up as a formatting option till I used one of those. (or, not a text field). Put another way, it needs an x-axis that it can actually draw a trend on.
The trend line option still does not appear for me...
Instead of using month names on the x-axis, I´m using numerical values as was suggested in this thread. Furthermore, the type is set to continuous - but still having no luck!!
Any ideas?
It is the Clustered Column Chart that has it, not the Stacked. And for Line Chart and Clustered Column Chart, make sure that your X-Axis is set to "Continuous" and not "Categorical"
thank (again). Being able to do when categorical would be nice but this is a step in the right direction.
Anonymous is absolutely right!
even your standard YYYY-MM is unfortunately but understandably not recognized
You have to start with a Date Column and then just keep Year and Month.
Month Numbers only - work though.
