Epic idea: Extended analytic functionalities

[Miguel_Myers]

To fix inconsistencies in analytic settings, functionality needs to be enhanced to ensure they are on par with other visual component enhancements made for Cartesians, and additional settings for scatter charts is also necessary. Report creators will find it easier to format and customize settings to align with the overall look and feel of their reports.

Trend line for week should be available.

Users expect to be able to use that from the Excel.

This is a must in our organization

[AlanScholefield]

Anything you can do in Excel, Power BI should be able to replicate.

[douglas_neatha2]

Adding this functionality would greatly improve our dashboards.

[kathy_walsh]

Agreed... if this can be done in Excel, Power BI should as well.

This should be no. 1

I don't even understand why this doesn't work this way already. It makes sense that the value the trend line is mapping would need to be numerical, but what does it matter how it's split up? If I have 5 number values in a chart, you shouldn't need to know what I call those groups in order to calculate a trend line... it's already divided into 5 discrete datapoints which you can use to generate a trend line. If your calculation needs numbers to map against, just use the column number! For example, if I have a chart that that shows Page Views for: "March"(55) "April"(65) "Cucumber"(42) "Pickle"(99) You don't need to calculate the value of "Pickle" to map a trend line, just read those values in as (1,55) (2,65) (3,42) (4,99) and calculate the trend line!

Agree - you have NO idea what cosmic workaround calculations me and my colleague made to get this thing working...

this is an important feature which would make trend lines SO much easier. Currently not having a continuous option when plotting categories (even if those categories are a custom calendar e.g "2018 P1") is a big pitfall and makes trend lines impossible.
