    How to change the start point of trend line?

    I made a chart with trend lines. The trend lines both start from the middle of green bar and yellow bar. I want to change them to start from the middle of blue bar and green bar.*How to do this? Thank you.
    I have attached the data.

    Hello,

    By default a trendline starts in the center of the first data set, but you can tweak it a bit.

    Format the trendlines and enter a number in the Backwards forecast setting. A value of 0.2 should do the trick.

    cheers, teylyn
