Hi,
You can not mix chart types when you use the 3D styles. Convert the chart to 2d in order to add trend line.

Do you want an actual trend line, which will in some way be based on
your data. Or do you just want a line at the top of each column? In which case you can use a new series plotted as Line chart and based on the maximum value for each category.

Then you need to create the line using a series.
If the chart is a bar, horizontal bars, then you will need to use a xy-scatter rather than a Line. If the chart is a column, vertical bars, then you should be fine assuming the line should go between the center of columns. If the chart is a clustered column chart then you will need to use xy-scatter in order to go between the centers of the required columns.
