creating line charts with trendlines
I want to create a line chart based on a data similar to the one below. need to have 'CLASS' in the x axis, and 'SCORE' in the y-axis. Then I need to add a trendline, and have a slicer for 'ID' . Finnaly I need to have a card that shows the slope of the trendline.
| ID | CLASS | SCORE |
1 | a | -2 |
| 2 | a | 1 |
| 3 | a | 6 |
| 1 | b | 4 |
| 2 | b | 3 |
| 3 | b | -5 |
| 1 | c | -2 |
| 2 | c | 4 |
| 3 | c | 6 |
| 1 | d | -1 |
| 2 | d | 3 |
| 3 | d | 7 |
I am new at power BI, so I am not well versed in writting DAX. I noticed that power BI only shows the trendline option in the Analytics tab when both x and y axis are numerical. Also, I could not find an option to display the slope of the trendline even if I convert my categorical column into numerical. I tried to follow a previously posted example to manually create the trendlines, but the slope of the trendline I obtained never changes when a new ID is selected in the slicer.
I would sincerelly appreciate the help.

deSanta , That option is only available with Date/Numbers on the x-axis
