Cause
The system will automatically set a field for "Trend by" by automatically by finding a Date/Time type field like created, updated, closed, activity due, etc... However in rare scenarios, if there is no date/time type field on the selected table/DB view it will automatically set a non Date/Time type field for "Trend By".
Resolution
- Please navigate to the "Configure" tab once you select the report type.
- Select "Trend By" --> If there are no date/time type fields, Dot walk to any of your desired fields like closed, created, updated, activity due, etc..
- Run the report.
