Trendline no longer available when going the a lower hierarchy-level

Hi,

I have a bar chart with a date hierarchy on the axis and Sales-numbers as the values. When it's showing the default view (years on the axis) I have the possibility to add a trendline, as shown in the picture.

If I click the most right hierarchy-button (to get to a lower level), I get the exact view I want. But as shown in the second picture, there is no option here to show a trendline.

Am I doing something wrong here or is there a workaround to show a trendline on the second visual?

Also there are 65-ish bars and it's only showing like 50 or so. Is there a way to fix this as well?

 

Thank you very much

Yours is a good solution , I thought of another one.
Month = Year('Calendar'[Date]) &”-“&Month('Calendar'[Date])
and set it to date format ,Then click here to achieve the desired effect.

Do not use date hierarchy  ,the trend line can be displayed normally by using the year, month and day of the date table.😮

Hi @Anonymous ,

I tried linking my date values of my primary table to those of my date table, Added a non-hierarchy Year and Month column. Unfortunately I still don't have the option to select a trendline.

you month is not a normal date format.

@Anonymous  

These are my DAX-formulas I used to add a calculated column for year and month that i used on my visual:
Year = Year('Calendar'[Date])
Month = Month('Calendar'[Date])
 
I think that if you want to add a trendline you can only do this when you have one value on your X-axis, and it must be a numerical one (not a categorical).
And as I am using two numerical values (year and month) on my axis, it automatically switches to categorical. The only solution now is the make a bar chart combined with a line chart that displays the trendline through a DAX-formula.
Or am I missing something?
 
Kind regards
