Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Shazia

The inbuilt histograms - for example Labour Resources - derive from known data that has been entered.

This does not generate a Trend.

If your project is getting behind then the projected completion date would be a Trend.

Hi Shazia

A trend is a projected future end derived from a set of known data.

It will be theoretical and the statistical risks have to be clearly understood before making any use of a trend for any purpose.
