Create a Trend
A wizard makes it easy to insert and configure trends. To insert a trend:
1. Click in the cell where you want to place the top left corner of the
trend object, click PI > Insert Trend (XP-2003), or click Insert
Trend on the PI ribbon (2007) to display the Trend Add-in Wizard.
When selecting the input cell, consider that the default size of the
trend object requires approximately 14 x 8 standard cells.
2. Choose the source of tag names:
Select Data on worksheet to base the trend on array values (page
75) that already appear in spreadsheet cells.
Select Data from PI to base the trend on specific point data
retrieved directly from FactoryTalk Historian (page 76).
3. Complete the remaining steps of the trend wizard.
