Trendline
 

I'm attempting to add a trendline to a series of data points in Excell 2007.
But the trendline button is not highlighted and therefore not useful. Is
there a problem with the spreadsheet or has anybody encountered this and
knows of a fix?

Trendline
 

What type of chart (XY/scatter; Line; column) ?
Can you give us some of the data you used?
best wishes

Hi,

Excel does not allow trendlines on certain chart types for example 3 D
charts, what type of chart are you using?

If this helps, please click the Yes button
