# Trend Panel

* [X Field selection](#trendpanel-xfieldselection)

The trend panel should be used for datasets that have a sequential, numeric X that is not time. Some examples are function graphs, rpm/torque curves, supply/demand relationships, and elevation or heart rate plots along a race course (with x as distance or duration from start).

The trend panel supports all visual styles and options available in the Time series panel with these exceptions:

* No annotations or time regions
* No shared cursor/crosshair
* No multi-timezone x axis
* No ability to change the dashboard time range via drag-selection

### X Field selection <a href="#trendpanel-xfieldselection" id="trendpanel-xfieldselection"></a>

Use this option to select a field that contains increasing numeric values.

For example, you could represent engine power and torque versus speed where speed is plotted on the x axis and power and torque are plotted on the y axes.
