Hi @Federico_Ruso Welcome to the community.

What version are you on?

Can you share a bit more about the bar graph.. is it a simple count or a formula?

Trend is typically a moving average.. and that should be doable ... Assuming the base aggregation/calculation is not too complex

You can add another line graph to your bar graph... That is often not clear just add another layer

Tell us a bit more and perhaps we can show you.

Here is my example

Add a layer
