Thank you for adding the linear trend line, however Power BI would be much more powerful with additional trend line functionality. We would love to see advanced options such as polynomial, exponential and logarithmic trend lines.

Essentially the trend line functionality from excel would be perfect

4 years after this was suggested and we still don't have this? Would be really nice to have.

Please, work on PBI real needed, not on aspect and color changes.

This is a mandatory feature for any BI tool. Stop working on other random features and focus on core analysis tools please PBI team.

I was actually quite surprised that this was not included already. Please add polynomial trend line at the very least.

using a measure as a trendline would be awesome!

Would love a 2nd-order polynomial trendline for scatter graphs. As others have mentioned; it's already available in Excel and would make a great addition to PowerBI

This would be quite handy - I am transitioning users from excel to pbi and they have several charts that have polynomial smoothing trend lines and the best I can currently offer them thru dax is a chunky looking moving average line

Really need the exponential line!!! And confidence band.
Please notice your main competitor, Tableau, has this attribute and please catch up...

Yes, being Power BI as an advance reporting tool it should have advanced trend lines feature. I am really looking for Polynomial trend line in it.
