Dows anyone know how to calculate and display the 'Ideal line'?

I've used the Atlassian out of the box 'issues created vs resolved' template to develop a burn-up chart, but I've like to add an 'ideal line', the line you see on the charts that show that if, for example, you want to complete 30 points in 10 days, you should be completing 3 points a day, and the associated line starts at zero and adds three every day until it reaches 30. Has anyone done on of these?

did finally get this figured out. I had a little help from Atlassian support, but I definitely had to fill in the blanks. I'll see if I can summarize here:

The 'ideal line' can be calculated after listing all the issues per day, and creating a formula to calculate a running total of those issues:

Hi @Michael Holian! If you're still stuck with creating the 'ideal line' I'd recommend creating a support ticket with our team, as we'd be able to access your Analytics instance and could provide more specific recommendations based on your data.
