# Grid lines are missing from the trend chart

## Problem

A trend chart does not show horizontal or vertical grid lines.

## Cause

Several configuration options control the display of grid lines. Set options for horizontal grid lines on the Y-Axis tab. Set options for vertical grid lines on the X-Axis tab.

## Possible solutions

On the Y-Axis and X-Axis tabs, verify that:

- The Display Grid Lines check box is selected.
- The number of grid lines is set to a number greater than zero.
- The grid color is not the same color as the chart background. Configure the chart background color on the Display tab.
