Done with Formula. But Tableau is much easier...

Never thought about exporting my workflow to PowerPoint, but good to know it works!

Yes, I also cheated with the Python tool.

A bit of a clunky solution cutting and pasting the Trendline calculation for each data set

I matched the styling fairly closely, but I didn't truncate the axes as it is definitely not best practice with bar charts...

At first, I thought about using predictive tools - linear regression in particular but couldn't get the line information out of it. So I solved it implementing the trend line calculations as attached to the challenge. then I went back to predictive and used the score tool to predict the values from the linear regression which gets the same result but with my custom macro I can easily write down the calculation for the trend line

Super challenge! Really enjoy the mathematical analysis. Always get new ideas and learn new ways to configure when playing with reporting tools.
