SSRS 2008 R2 Trendlines
I cannot find out how to add trendlines to my SSRS 2008 R2 report. TechNet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207034.aspx refers to a ‘Values’ area and an option to ‘Add Calculated Series’. The ‘Values’ area I see does nothing on a “Right-click” and the option to “Add Calculated Series” I cannot find anywhere.
