Yes that fixed it, I should have spotted that myself.
However, I know get this, there is something up with Slop1 & Intercept as they are marked RED

It looks like you're using a measure at the Intercept + Slope * measure in the RETURN section. You want to use your column [Progress_date] not a measure.

When you use LINEST or LINESTX it creates a single row with ten columns. In the measure that I provided we are creating a variable using LINESTX. The red lines under [Slope1] and [Intercept] is becasue it doesn't recognize those as columns until you've finished creating the measure. Those variables get calculated in order from top to bottom.

Thanks, I've finally got it to work 😊
I've notice the trendline is far steeper with your Variable (see solid line in top line graph) compared to when I use the inbuilt Trendline using the Continuous x Axis date range. This inbuilt range has every other month missing which is why I'm desperate for an alternative option.
I guess I need to decide which one to use. My only other option is to Snip an image of the the x axis with complete months and paste them over in Powerpoint when this get presented, incredible we still have to do this in 2023!
Thanks for all of your help!

Are you talking about the red lines under [Slope1] and [Intercept]? If so, there is nothing to fix. You measure should still work without any issues. If you're getting an error when you try to create the measure then that is potentially a different issue.
