Trendline on excel graph
Hi everyone,
Sorry I am not great at excel... I need to put a trendline on this graph but the line goes below the x-axis - how do I stop this (see attachment)? There are no values in the negative so unsure why it is doing this! I can change the y-axis to stop at zero but the line disappears and then reappears again so you can see that I have just taken it off (and that it has gone below the line).
Can anyone help? I would just like a steady curve to show the deviation towards the right!
Many many thanks!

Hello,
maybe you're using the wrong type of trendline. Which one did you apply? I created a chart with your columns, but I cannot get your trendline to show.
What trend do you want to show? This is a histogram already, so a trendline does not really make sense.

Thank you for your reply.
I need to create a bell-like curve on it so I used the polynomial. I can use the moving average one as well but then the line does not look smooth.
I need the curve to show that the data has all shifted towards the right (positive values).
Many thanks,
Abi
