Trend visualization shows how a metric changes over time.
It helps identify patterns like growth, decline, or seasonality.
Line charts are commonly used for trend analysis.
In one project, I created a monthly revenue trend for two years.
It helped management spot seasonal peaks and slow periods.
Trend visuals are useful for forecasting and performance monitoring.
Consistent time intervals are important for accurate interpretation.
They support proactive decision-making based on historical patterns.
