I am using ODBC reporting to query a large databse of a medical imaging facility. Ihave used a pivot table to display the number of orders per physician per month. Is there any way to flag a physician whose referrals have increased or decreased over time?
you could try SLOPE()
if positive trend is increasing , if negative decreasing
=SLOPE(B5:L5,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11})
or
if(SLOPE(B5:L5,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11})>0, "increasing", "decreasing")

What if the trend is neither increasing nor decreasing?Originally Posted by etaf

P.S.
To verify the results of the SLOPE function you can create a simple XYscatter chart and include a linear trendline.
