Default How to add a trendline in Excel 2007

The ATP has nothing to do with trendlines
What type of chart are you making?
I am sure we can resolve this

That launcher is greyed out just like the trendline button, so I can't
click
either one. I tried to install an Add-On of Data Analysis tools but that
didn't change anything (and I didn't need it in the past.)

Click the data series in the chart
Look in Chart Tools | Layout | Analysis for Trendline
Click the launcher (triangle pointing down) ; select the type of
trendline
needed
Open the "More Trendline Options" to add equation. etc

I was once an expert, guru even, helped everybody. Now I can't even
find
the
help menu. So very frustrating.

I have a graph and need to add a trendline. The graph is embedded in a
worksheet sitting alongside four other graphs that have trendlines i
created
with Excel 2003. Trendline is no longer a simple check box on a screen
that
i can get to. I see it on one of the menus, Trendline, all nice and
pretty
grey. There's no help on trendline using F1 key, other than giving the
formulas. On-line I find instructions on how to add a trendline, duh,
and
the trendline option is grey. Would anyone mind trying to assess how
I've
become so incompetent so quickly, and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
