Fix Trends Report to be consistent with Progress Report
The new Trends Report is good, but frustratingly inconsistent with the Progress Report. For example, I have a habit that I want to do at least 20 of per day. The Progress Report will show me my average per day and how that compares with my target, but the Trends Report will only show me how many days I hit/missed the target.
The Trends Report, just like the Progress Report, should show me my average over a particular timeframe, so I can see how my recent trends compare to my historical trends.
Thanks for reaching out! This is intentional, because each report is custom-built to focus on a different aspect of your progress. The Trends report is focused on how you’ve logged your progress by week, month or year.
I tried designing the Trends report with specific goals and averages displayed and it was a very confusing experience because all of the trackers can have different time periods. Imagine looking at last week’s Trends report and seeing a daily average for one goal, a monthly average for another, a pace/projected for a Target tracker that’s due in 67 days, etc. It gets far too complex to decipher what’s going on, so I kept it simple and focused.

So, how would you suggest I compare this month to my historical average?
