Add Trendline to Pivot Table Graph
I have a list of survey responses and I have created a Pivot Table with Month
as the Row Heading and Count of Respondent as Data. I have then created a Pivot Table chart. I want to show a trendline but when I select the columns and right click for Trendline, as I would normally, the option is greyed out. How do I create a trendline for the pivot table category columns? |

If Add Trendline is disabled with a pivot chart (I don't know, I rarely make
pivot charts), you could plot the data in a regular chart, then add your trendline.

Hi Mary Ann
Is your graph a "stacked" column? If so, change it to a different style (eg clustered column) and you should get what you are looking for. -- Regards William XL2003 "Mary Ann" wrote in message ... |I have a list of survey responses and I have created a Pivot Table with Month | as the Row Heading and Count of Respondent as Data.

Fantastic €“ even though the chart doesnt look like a stacked column, because
I just have one column for each month, in fact as far as Excel is concerned I can now see that that is what it is. Thank you. "William" wrote: Hi Mary Ann Is your graph a "stacked" column?
